AItnough Mrs. Mary B. Hill,
10. died Friday, her art work
VIII be priced among WASH
mgtonians for generations to
come.
During her 26 years of work
Tor the District Board of Edu-
cation, Mrs. Hill inscribed by
hand more than 250,0C0 diplo-
mas for public school grad
yates here.
When she retired two years
ago at the age of rs, no suit
able replacement could be
found and the schools turned
to fnachine-engraved certifi-
Gates.
Penmanship Her Forte
A native of Tarboro, N. c.,
Mrs. Hills excellent penman-
ship was recognized while she
was still a schoolgirl. In 1915,
she became a professional
writer for the A. N. Palmer
Co. Of New York, demonstrate
ing to school boards and teach
ers the Palmer Method" in
which pupils competed in max
ing pretty scrolls across a lined
page.
She Travelled extensively in
teaching teachers and students
the finer points of penman-
ship and blackboard writing.
In 1884, Mrs. Hill made the
only application to the school
board here to inscribe diplo-
mas for June graduates.
BY 1948 Mrs. Hill was being
paid is cents for each certifi-
cate and her annual work load
had reached $4,000 diplomas.
Art Easily Recognized
Shortly after World War II,
one newsman noted that ex-
amples Of her art, mounted
and framed, probably outnum-
bered the air raid warden and
bond citations on the walls of
Washington homes.
With a pen of flexible steel,
she would spread a bold line
on the downstroke and leave
a mark like a steel engraving
on the upward strokes and
cross-lines. Her work included
no flourishes - just an APP
proach to perfection in writ
ing the graduates name.
In her spare time Mrs. Hills
art turned to inscribing scrolls
and other documents. One
scroll was commissioned by the
Town of Kensington (Md.) for
its namesake Royal Borough in
England and now hangs in the
Kensington Town Hall in Lon
don.

WITH THE HIGH SCHOOLS
St. Johns Ace Scorer
Improves on Defense
BY CARL SELL
Star Staff Writer

1880
Bob Lewis Of st. Johns Is
averaging only two tenths of
q point more than he did last
season, fact that bellies the
6-foot-3 seniors tremendous
Improvement over q year ago.
Lewis has scored 327 points
In l3 games this season for a
ISL average. Last year, he
totaled 822 points in 80 games
for 24.9
Bob's biggest Improvement
has been on defense. He also
has improved in the shooting
department but is not forced
to carry the load as he did
last season. Players like Ron
Panneton, Brian Keller and Ned
Carr have taken turns backing
him up.
The All Metropolitan star
scored under 20 points only
four times last season and has
been under that mark only
twice this year. He holds the
school scoring record Of 40
points, set last year against
the Maryland freshman and
equalled this season against
Carroll.
One of Bob's biggest assets
is his sense of timing which
enables him to get his shot
away quickly If q defensive man
lets UP for an instant. Also, he
has tremendous fingertip con-
troll which enables him to tap
