                       Tribute to Beatrice Stanton

 The following item was printed in the LaGrange Citizen, the newspaper from the 
city by that name in Illinois and we think will be of interest to many of our 
readers:
 Miss Beatrice Eva Stanton, for 27 years a teacher of Latin at Lyons Township 
high School, died August 19 in California after an illness of 12 years. She was 
the daughter of the late Dr.and Mrs.George Stanton of Belding,Mich.

 Miss Stanton taught at LTHS from 1915 to 1941.

 The following "Memorial" was written by a resident of LaGrange with whom Miss 
Stanton made her home.
                               In Memory
 "After having Miss Beatrice Stanton as a guest in my home for 18 years I cannot 
forgo writing a few lines about her.
 "Miss Stanton was a graduate of the Michigan State University at Ann Arbor, a 
summa cum laude student.She not only was a brilliant student but a very superior 
teacher of Latin. She taught in Lions Township high School for 27 years and gave 
her work all the strength and interest she possessed. She made a record in the 
quality of her teaching. Many parents requested that she teach their children.
                           Pays Strong Tribute
 "Miss Stanton was graced with beauty of a distinguished type and possessed 
great personal charm.
 "There are doubtless many in LaGrange today who had Miss Stanton as their 
teacher. One distinguished citizen said LaGrange owes much to Beatrice Stanton  
for the work she accomplished with the youth in the community. We never can 
repay her. She was a perfectionist and her pupils profitted by it.
 "Miss Stanton has been an invalid with arthritis for 12 years and proved a 
brave soldier, fighting this dread disease. She will not be forgotten by those 
who had the privilege of knowing her.
 "I, who was her companion for 18 years, feel a loss that nothing can ever fill 
and a precious memory that the years never can efface."-Louise M. Titsworth, 400
