Horner, a sixth grade teacher at School 42, was honored with a buffet dinner given for her at Hooks Enterprises on April 25 by the faculty in honor of her retirement from the Indianapolis Public School System.

Louis C. Simpson, principal, spoke concerning Miss Horner’s years of dedicated service not only to the boys and girls but to the community as well. He also praised her as being a person always willing to assume her share of responsibility, broad-minded, and very cooperative. Mrs. Mary Rose, a member of the School 42 PTA executive

board, spoke highly of Miss Horner’s artistic and creative ability. Her artistic talent would be missed, since she had supervised the arrangement and decoration for various school programs. Mrs. Rose also presented
