In Memoriam
On August 5, 1963, Miss Margaret Rogers, teacher of Health and Physical Education at Woodrow Wilson, was killed in a tragic automobile accident. Even though she had been at Wilson only a few months, she gained the respect and admiration of all who knew her. Her kindness showed forth in many ways and deeds, and she stood firm in what she believed to be right. She will always be alive in the hearts of her friends and loved ones.
In the death of Margaret Rogers, we have suffered a great loss. In spite of our brief association with her she has left many sweet memories as a reminder of the re-spected person she was.
We are especially glad we had the opportunity of knowing Margaret during her short but well-spent life. She will always occupy a cherished spot in the hearts of those of us who came under her influence.
