(i THE ORACLE. As her presence at homo was necessary, she secured the position which she now holds and altho her stay with us lias been of short duration, she has proved herself a competent teacher and trusted friend. Therefore it is with sadness that we bid her farewell and as our Patron Saint said, we wish her success and happiness in her future life. E. L., ’12. MISS BARNES. Carolyn F. Barnes, who was graduated from Oswego Normal and Cornell University, has been a member of the Watkins High School faculty for seven years, where she lias won much fame and renown as a teacher of mathematics and French. Miss Barnes has taken a great interest in the welfare of her pupils, always being ready and willing to grant a favor when it lies within her power to do so and by so doing she has won the love and admiration of all and the pupils know that in her they have won a true friend. To our regret we understand she is not going to be with us another year, and the greatest success in whatever she may undertake is wished by her many friends. S. 1). R. and M. G.

THE ORACLE. PROF. JOHN A. BEERS. In September, 1901, Mr. Beers first entered upon Ids duties as teacher in Watkins High School. I util September, 1909, lie acted as vice-principal and teacher of foreign languages, when he succeeded Prof. S. S. .Johnson as principal. He received his early education at Candor, X. V.. from whence he went to the Collegiate Institute at Towanda. where he graduated as valedictorian of liis class. ishing to prepare himself even better than this for the course In was to pursue, he entered Syracuse University where lie pursued a classical course, taking foreign languages as a specialty, graduating in 1901 with such honor that In was elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society for scholarship. He has always been a trusted friend as well as beloved teacher to every student of the high school and has always proven himself faithful and just in his dealings with all. One never truly appreciates a friend until about to be separated from that friend. So it is with us. As our high school days draw swiftly to a close we begin to realize all that he has done for us and all that he is to us. Especially in this, our last year, we feel that we owe much to him. He has shared our joys and sorrows and has been as much a comrade as a teacher. He possesses the rare faculty of making one like him and at the same time look up to him. Tho few of us will be back in our beloved W. H. S. next year, we will all remember the high school and will never cease to love and respect him. X. L. .1., '12. PROF. GARNET F. ROBERTS. Our esteemed Vice-Principal, (tar net F. Roberts, was a graduate from Alden High School in 1902; graduated with honor from Buffalo Normal in BIOS, and then took a two years’ science course at Syracuse University. Thus qualified lie came to Y. 11. S. in September, 1910, where he has since honorably served. Since he has been here he has done much for the welfare of our school, especially in tin line of athletics. He has also won many friends here not only among the students but the faculty as well, lie has been called by some a “dreamer.” but we understand his dreams are soon to be realized. We rejoice to sav that lie is to remain a member of our faculty for another year. M. B.. ’13. MISS KNAPP. Miss Florentine J. Knapp has been with us for two years and during that time she has won the love of both teachers and students. Her early life was spent in Waverly from which, after her graduation from high school, she entered Elmira College, graduating with the degree A. B. Not satisfied with that, she expects to take a course in “Domestic Science” next year and we are very certain that she will gain even more happiness in this than in her present occupation. S. 1). R.. 12. MISS PALMER. Cora Belle Palmer came to us at the beginning of this year and we arc confident that none other could have piloted us through our last year of English as well as she. A graduate of our Alma Mater in 1903. she entered tin University of Rochester after three years of rest, graduating with the degree of A. B. However, while there slu became so attached not only to the city but to a member of the opposite sex that in the following vear she decided to teach in a school nearby and so her talents were first bestowed upon the scholars at Victor where she remained one short year.
