Miss Helcnc VanNe Erie S. Remington
Faculty Advisors
Not to brag at all, but merely as a matter of record, we wish to state our fond belief
that in Mr. Remington and Miss VanNess, the Class of June '2.8 has been blessed by
just about the best two advisors that may fall to the lot of any class. There is the
statement; the proof, to be brief, lies in the record of what these two have done in
behalf of the class.
Any project which we might plan, and which met with their approval, was assured
of their full and earnest support, and many a time, it has been mostly their support
which has carried these projects through to a successful conclusion: their support
which has made of the class the smooth-working unit that it is. Any time the members
of the class have needed advice or suggestions in the management of class activities,
these two have been ever willing to help out, often at the sacrifice of valuable
time or of personal enjoyment. Always ready with good advice, approving or censoring,
as they judged best, they have been true guardians and friends of the class.
The time now draws nigh when we shall end our four years' sojourn here and depart
from East High. In this process we shall be forced to leave behind physically these
two who, by the good judgment of Mr. Wilcox, were assigned the guidance of the
destiny of our class, but we shall never forget them. By their friendliness and appealing
personalities—for who could fail to be favorably impressed by the dry, pertinent
humor of Mr. Remington, or the companionable, sunny nature of Miss VanNess?—
they have won a place in our hearts which time can with difficulty assail.
We are about to leave East High, but in departing it is in our power to bestow a
final gift to the school; to some future class we leave the opportunity and privilege of
having Mr. Remington and Miss VanNess as advisors to that class, and as companions
and loyal friends to the members thereof.
