AN APPRECIATION ULL of life and enthusiasm, Miss O'Connell has become a part of all Life with6ut losing to our memory a spark of that glowing personality that speeds joyfully on its way. This personality was rare in its genuineness. A searchlight turned any- where on her life revealed always herself living up to high ideals. It was unique in combining opposite traits: tactful and considerate. she was yet an unflinching soldier for the right; loyal to a friend, she was fair to even that friend's malefactor: just and large of soul herself. she disliked jealousy. partiality, or any form of injustice as she did carping criticism or taleabearing: but her mantle of charity was constantly being thrown over both the erring and their critics a As counsellor, she was always equal to the demand. The unfortunate who confided in her were happier for her real joy at their news: listening to those depressed by injustice, with wrath blazing in her honest blue eyes. she gave hrst aid in wise words. and comfortable tones that instilled courage: and who does not know the characteristic poohl that sent many a bogie of despair up in a puff of smoke? The simple knowing that hall's well with the world, infused with a refreshing sense of humor. gave her a high courage that bore herself, and those who touched her. above Hlow-thoughted cares. If the test of successful teaching is development of 21 pupils innate best, and his fullest preparedness for the whole of life. then was Eleanor O'Connell a justihed and peerless teacher; for from the corners of the earth her pupils, by thousands, bless her. To principals. teachers. and all connected with the school she gave courtesy, support, co-operation. and inspiration with impartial loyalty and sympathy. As originator and chairman of the Founder's Day Committee, her idea was. through the Founders Day and Opening Day celebrations, to perpetuate the sEirit :1: gratitude to William Woodward, and to foster loyalty to his ideals for t 0 SC 0014 Not only had she time for planning and carrying out plans for the boys and girls at home: but through an unbelievably heavy correspondence. she cheerw fully carried Woodward to the alumni of six continents. and by her sincere appreciation of a prized book of Mr. Bettens's mothers brought both this treasure and the handsome Bettens Bequest t0 Woodward. Two years ago when. amid the laughter of a farewell banquet, she mad: an original Hretirement speech. filled with racy plans for the busy new life as a private citizen, it was thought that she had many years in that role before her. But as she stood there gayly Hretiring. her long race as a teacher run, she was in reality. to refer to a friend 5 apt comparison like Pheidippides the Athenian asking leave to run one more racewto carry the neWS of victory to those who had served so well. This race granted, took but two short years to run. Alive, yes! Not only in the valuable possessions acquired for the school by her loyal, devoted heart. her keen mind. and her busy, flying hands and feet: not only in the beautiful clock, daily voicing her praise: not only, even, in the lives of the boys and girls. her pupils or those winning the scholarships she secured for them: but, most of all, in the memory of that last brave race, granted her, and the inspiring shout of victory!
