Miss Wingo presented the class to Mr.. !
Mute, who delivered the diplomas, with
out extended remarks further than
brief reference to the fact that it was one
If the best years Of the grade. Miss
Wingo, however, is entitled to more
han a passing word She has given a
'auable part OF her life to the school,
Every pupil loves her without exception.
Her soul, her strength, nature and in
tinct have undergone the processes of
into the highest and purest
into the sweetest COM
'anionable communion with her pupils,
md into the highest and noblest ideals
# the teacher. The sum bonum of her
york in the school would be hard to
stimate, but it is safe to say that the X
uccesses and achievements from year to
ear are largely, very largely, due to
Hiss Wingo. The school owes very ;
arge part of its splendid reputation to /
his good woman; it owes her for its !
tandards much more than she will prob
bly, claim.
Then, If no one else will say so, we !
,ant to tender for the children and for ,
lany Of the parents and patrons, the {
snderest and kindest gratitude. There
ill never be money enough in the {
iorld to pay her, and you and / and '
theirs will always be in debtto her for S
hat she has done for the children OF
Inion City. She deserves our thanks !
nd she must have them.
