A Tribute TO Miss Boss

The close OF the school year
causes one to reflect on the things
tha, have been accomplished thru.
out the year. and In regard to the
High School the things that have
been accomplished throughout Its
history. A few years ago when
81, Johns began her rcjuvenaiion, a
High School was started. which
has kept pace with the progress Of
the city until today Il can be classcd
with the best In the cities Of our
class. To organize the school, nur.
ture IL through its infancy, inugur.
ate High School customs. aud in
general give IL the standing IL now
enjoys, was not a small task IL
required ability TO organize, to dc.
wise plans and mature them, and TO
overcome unforeseen difficulties. To
do this would tax the energies Of
our best school officers, aud the one
who accomplished these results can
truly be congratulated on the suc-
cess that has been brought about.
As Miss Boss, who was principal of
the school from its inception, leaves
for future fields Of endeavor, a deep
sense Of gratitude accompanies her
from the patrons, students and
graduates OF the school. The ef-
feet of her labors will be indelibly
stamped on the schools history, and
as IL launches out in It's future ef-
forts there will be present the
thought Of faithful endeavor, which
will be the germ for the develop
ment Of a school of which the city |
can feel proud. The best wishes |
Of our people will follow Miss Boss,
and may she be equally successful
IN the things she will strive to ac-
in the future. "A Friend.
