Memoriam Our Principal Walter F. Hood Born April 17, 1878 Died April 10, 1942 Served faithfully in the Racine Public School System for 33 years, a third of a century, first at Winslow school, then at Lin- coln and Ianes, and since 1933 at Washington Park. A favorite of many years be- cause it expressed so well Mr. Hood's own philosophy of life was the third part of Henry Van Dyke's The Three Best Things : LIFE Let me but live my life from year to year. With forward face and unreluctant soul: Not hurrying to, nor turning from, the goal: Not mourning for the things that disappear In the dim past, nor holding back in fear From what the future veils: but with a whole And happy heart, that pays its toll To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer. So let the way wind up the hill or down, O'er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy Still seeking what I sought when but a boy, New friendship, high adventure, and a crown, My heart will keep the courage of the quest, And hope that road's last turn will be the best.
