SCHULTZ & NORD The North Shore's Leading Tailors 1152 Central Avenue Wilmette Phone Wil. 320-321 CHURCH HONORS TWO VETERAN TEACHERS Mrs. Carrie B. Prouty and Mrs. Gertrude C. Lieber Achieve Re- markable Service Records A service of appreciation and recog- nition was held Sunday, June 5, in the Winnetka Congregational church in honor of two active Sunday school teachers, teachers who are not retiring but are still enthusiastic and faithful Sunday after Sunday, teachers who hold a remarkable record, Mrs. Carrie Burr Prouty, who has not missed a Sunday in forty years, and for many years has been the head of the Prim- ary department, and Mrs. Gertrude Cook Lieber, teacher of the fifth grade, who has the same splendid record for twenty years. The ceremony, planned and carried out by the church in honor of these two teachers, was a complete surprise to Mrs. Prouty and Mrs. Lieber. John R. Montgomery of Hubbard Woods made the presentation speech during the church service. He spoke of the many years of splendid, thoughtful service, and helpful teaching. Upon finishing he handed two packages to Mrs. Howard Lynn (Ethel Carksin) representing the older pupils, and Da- vid Stoddard representing her present class. These two presented the pack- ages to Mrs. Lieber. Two more pack- ages were presented by Margery Windes, a former pupil under Mrs. Prouty and Alexandria Matz, who is now a primary department student. Receive Beautiful Gifts Embodied in the framed statements given to bath, is the spirit in which the gifts, one a platinum pin and the other a wrist watch, were given. Beautifully illuminated and hand printed, the statement for Mrs. Lieber read: "Your loyal and efficient service of twenty years teaching the Fifth grade in this church has given enrichment to the life of this community. "You are giving your thought and experience that our youth may have the religious background of the race; that their character may be built upon the foundation of the Christian re- ligion, and that they may live in the spirit of service." The statement for Mrs. Prouty read: "Your faithful and wise teaching of the little children of this church for forty years has made you the master of us all in Christ-like service to this community. Builds Youthful Character "You are enriching our life in giving the riches of your spirit to build youthful character, thus making life more beautiful, more worth living and love more enduring." And not only were these messages read, and the gifts presented, but the sermon by the Rev. James Austin Richard's on what posterity is doing for the world was a message about teachers the world over. As he spoke he of course, had these two in mind, but he made their service na- tional and splendid by his interpreta- tion.
