'um' 'i wlwu: am il n1'mw'wm W- mir RJ 'I tmlurin 1. , wi. um, gui, Owing to the serious illness of our late principal, Mr. john King Clark, no publications of the Spirit of Our School have appeared for three con- secutive terms, ending with june, 1922. ,For the preceding fourteen years, this school paper was published regularly once every term. Appreciating its im- mense yalue to the life of our School in the past, and realizing the inspiration it gave to our pupils, teachers and par- ents, the new administration desires to resume its issuance, and hopes to pre- serve all of its high literary standards. lt seems only fitting and proper that this issue, the first to be offered under the new principal, should 'be dedicated to the memory of him, who, for fourteen years, so ably, so faithfully, and so humanly devoted his life to the ser- vices of our School, and to the interests of its children. And so, in loving re- membrance of our former principal, we offer to his many friends and warm admirers, this In Memoriam num- ber. 'The sad news of Mr. Clark's death, announced, on the opening day of school, last September, was received with profound sorrow by teachers and pupils alike. At the first Senior As- sembly, Dr. John Dwyer, our District Superintendent, and very dear friend of our former principal, paid a beautiful tribute to his memory. With affec- tionate words, Dr. Dwyer described the lofty ideals and sterling qualities of Mr. Clark's character. The wave of rever- ence which swept over the Assembly manifestly showed that kindred feel- ings throbbed in every heart. The teachers of ZS, those who had labored in the same vineyard under his leadership-some for the entire fifteen years-held ai memorial meeting and unanimously voted to have the follow- ing set of resolutions adopted, en- grossed and presented to his family: P' Mrs. John King Clark: Whereas, It having been the wish and desire of our Heavenly Father in His Infinite Wisdom to remove from this Earthly Habitation and from our midst to that undiscovered Country from whose bourne no Traveler returns, your dearly beloved Husband, and our Esteemed Principal. It behooves us at this time to pay our homage of respect to one so near' and dear. Therefore be it Resolvedg That we sincerely lament the loss and demise of one you held so dear, well knowing that his death is a deep and sad loss, not only to you, but to the community of which he was such an uplifting influence, as well. And be it further Resolvedg That we extend to youg yourjimmediate relatives and friends, our deepest and heartfelt sympathy in this your hour of bereavement, com- mending you to the Great Spirit of the Universe, whose all-seeing Eyes guard us all, and whose Mercy and fiovver endureth forever. With deepest sympathy, we remain. The Teaching Staff of P. S. No. 23. Bronx.
