the Story of Someone Special Hers is a story of all the human elements — the comic, the grave, the inspiring, the absurd. Hers are the young she has instructed as Director of the Broadoaks School since 1935, the future teachers she has proudly watched become capable educators, the students for whom she has made Children ' s Literature and Storytelling unforgettable and living classes, and the mil- lions more who will never meet her but know her by the numerous articles, short fiction stories, and the D. C. Heath English Text for elementary schools of which she is a co-author. Hers is the tale of an educator who graduated from the University of Chicago, secured her M.A. from the University of Southern California, and who came to the Poet Campus after being a junior high school principal and instructor at Minne- sota State Teachers ' College and helped to make our education department one of the best in the nation. Hers were stories that gave the President Smith ' s Christmas party or the AWS Dessert that special meaning. Hers is the wealth she has accumulated in the friends of all ages who are honored to know her and who are showing their appreciation for her 27 years of work at Whittier College by sponsoring a banquet in her name. We STEP UP to dedicate the 1962 Acropolis to MISS MABEL F. RICE — educator, author, and friend. f£iXMim itK.;- ' i:.:::. ' . ' U.:iaiMaik:ak '
