MISS DOROTHY ALEXANDER MISS HELEN IRONFIELD Head Clerk Clerk MR, WILFORD H. WOODY General Education Social Science Mathematics School Treasurer Library Clerk MISS BERTHA M. JONES Secretary CWI:-:moniarn g CVVIUQ gullia Dalia Miss Iulia Daly was in the true sense a Westerner. As a student in West High herself, she learned to feel the spirit of West and to respect its traditions. After her graduation, attendance followed at the University of Denver, where she earned her AB. degree, and she returned to the west side to teach in Central School where she was one of the best loved teachers in the elementary school. Then after a number of years of service in North High School she came back to West High to teach English and Psychology. Of her relations with the faculty she once said, I am the friend of them all and count them as friends of mine. She cared deeply for her pupils, each one of whom was an individual person to her, and her pupils appreciated her fairness and kindness as much as they respected her scholarship. She looked at the faults and weaknesses of others with humor and gentle- ness, at their virtues vvith appreciation, and at life as a whole with wisdom and understanding.
