Mrs. Elizabeth L. H Miss Lois Turner
Vacuity Advisors
A sportswoman and teacher of the finest type, Mrs. Elizabeth Hall commanded
the highest admiration and respect as class advisor of January 192.8. Her admirable
spirit, her wise guidance, her fair attitude, and cheerful air of friendliness endeared
her to each member of the class. The loss to us of Mrs. Hall s services through a most
unfortunate accident in 192.6 was inestimable, and was deeply felt and regretted by all.
Her interest in our class, though she was no longer in an official capacity has never
wavered, and has always helped us onward.
Mrs. Hall's place was as capable filled as was humanly possible through the appointment
of Miss Lois Turner to succeed her. Miss Turner was in an especially
advantageous position to assume the advisorship inasmuch as she had most of the
girls of the class in her homeroom and already had their confidence. Her loyalty
and confidence carried the class through many a difficult crisis; her zeal often put the
finishing touch to doubtful class projects. Her excellent services on behalf of the
class are a cherished memory to be carried through the years by the truly grateful
class of January 19x8.
And Mr. Ellis S. Smith! The "Man at the Helm" who with sardonic kindness
steered the ship of January 192.8 through a turbulent sea of troubles. Together with
Miss Turner he steadfastly pursued a salutary policy of allowing the class to work out
its own salvation but he was always there in a pinch. Time and time again he ottered
invaluable suggestion which invariably resulted in an increase of the renown of the
class. There were undoubtedly innumerable occasions upon which both Mr. Smith
and Miss Turner performed acts, for our benefit, which passed unknown to us. These
acts, unknown to us, were never verbally recognized or appreciated. We take this
occasion to express our heartfelt appreciation for all such past kindnesses.
The Class of January 1918 has been singularly fortunate in the happy selection of
Faculty Advisors. Our school career over, we still treasure their friendship and glory
in past relations with these loyal friends and true.
