Jtt iHptiuTriam Miss Madeleine Freeman The faculty and student body join in expressing sorrow at the recent death of Miss Madeleine Freeman, who for forty-three years, until her retirement in June 1941, served as a member of the teaching staff of Williams Memorial Institute. Miss Freeman was a noble woman, whose influence in helping her students solve the unknown quantities of life was felt by all who were privileged to be in her classes. The ideals and high standards which she set for herself and which she stimulated in her students made her an inspiring teacher and an invaluable director of the mathematics department. Her enthusiasm and ardor for life, as well as the theories and principles she expounded, will remain indelible in the memories of those whom she taught and guided. 4

Dedicated To 1 o Adam J. Cronesberry, who throughout the past thirty-three years has been a most inestimable friend to Williams Memorial Institute, we, the senior class, have the honor of dedicating the 1943 edition of the Legenda. No matter how difficult the “exam” or how exciting the season, “Adam” as Mr. Cronesberry is known to innumerable graduates, undergraduates, and faculty members, has sustained the same uniform and even temperament. As the school has grown and as each girl has developed during her years at Williams Memorial Institute, Adam has displayed a spirit of keen interest, characterized bv his bits of homely philosophy and wit. I 'rom a wide background of experiences, in school and out, Adam has acquired the talent for making and keeping friends. 5
