MRS. MAUD B. NEWMAN MISS MARIE M HEINEMANN WE ARE GRATEFUL for having known these women during our college career. Each of them has had great influence on our lives, directly or indirectly, and we shall always remember Mrs. Newman ' s enthusiasm. Miss hieinemann ' s graciousness. Miss Burnet ' s understanding, and Mrs. Stabler ' s friendliness. These qualities, so much a part of them, appeared in extracurricular programs as well as in classroom work. Therefore, while we associate Mrs. Newman with English and the QUAD ANGLES, Miss fHeinemann with music and the Girls ' Glee Club, Miss Burnet with elementary student teaching in Coatesville, and Mrs. Stabler with elementary practice teaching in West Chester, we have more personal memories of each one. Their retirement at the end of this college year is an incalculable loss to West Chester, and to us. We hope, however, that it will mean for them leisure time for the things they have always dreamed of doing when they were free from school responsibilities. MISS MARGARET M. EURNET MRS. IDAIP. STABLER - Oli-
