MISS BERRYMAN DUNHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY A DREAM COME TRUE WHITESBORO, N.Y. By MISS DOROTHY DEY At the twenty-fifth reunion of the c lass of '42 of the Whitesboro Central School, the guest of honor, a former teacher and clas ad ise , .: � : Miss Sophie Berryman, remarked to s·ome of her students, I "':''sh i t were possible once to have a ll of my Whitesboro pupils together in one place. I know that this cou ld never be a reality, for there must be a few thousand of them, but I can dream, can't I?" Todoy through the heroic efforts of a dedicated committee, that dream is coming true for this beloved teacher. This day the many students of Miss Berryman gather to honor her and 1o comme'.11orate those things with which they hove been associated with her. D1ffer�nt students remember her for different things, and it is not just the Eng lish that she taug h t them that they appreciate. Miss Berryman was not only a teacher to her students, but a counselor, a confidant, a friend. Many a student' s life hos been enriched through her counsel and her sym· pathetic understanding, and many o potent1al drop-out sow it through . to graduation becau!'.e of her encouragement. It is fitting that they dedi cate this day to her. Sophie Berryman was born in Rockaway, New Jersey, in 1891. After gr�duating from Rockaway High School, she moved with her family to �l11c�igan, where she attended Northern College in Marquette, graduat ing in 1911. Loter her family moved to Clinton, New York, and for a few years she taught elementary gra<.Jes ot Shorstville ond Beaver Falls. In . 1918 she taught third grade in New York Mills followed later by high school Engl1!.h, ond in 1926 she come to Whitesboro, where as head of the English department she taught senior high English until her retire ment in 1956. She also spent several yeors doing guidance work for . girls 1n the upper classes. Amid all of her octivities, Miss Berryman found time to earn o Moster's Degree in Education al the New York State University at A l bany in 1933 and to accumu late an additional years credits in graduate study . Her extra-curricular activities were many. She was adviser to the . senior class for a 11 of h er years at Whitesboro, adviser to the first Student Council, and co-adviser to the first yearbook publfshed in 1936. Many of these public1;1tion s were dedicated to her in later years. She frequently directed ploys, cooched prize. speaking, and for many years planned and produced the doss night and commencement programs. At one time, collaborating with the head of the vocal music department, who pro duced an outstanding local TV program with Whitesboro students, she wrote on article a bout the production for the magazine The Musician. After Miss Berryman· s retirement she worked three years for the Board of Education, ond her accomplish ments were many, she prepared ·book describing Boord policies and regulations in school administra � . tion covering approximately a ten year period; she produced a movie for the Whitesboro elementary grades and one for the Junior-Senior H,gh School, and wrote an article dboul these productions for the New York State Education magazine; she wrote a pamphlet on what a new teacher should know, and, from outlines of the1r work by elementary teachers of the first six grades, she edited pamphlets entitled "Helping your Chilrl to learn." Of all the accomplishments of Miss Berryman for the Whitesboro Central School th�ough her many years of teaching here, there is one that she is especially proud of, and that was her bulletin boards in She h d o her English classroom. � ��st collection of pictures which she mounted attractively, along with writings and handwork of her students. No student will ever forg_et those bulletin boards and the pride he felt at seeing his own work displayed. If today Miss Berryman were to make 0 bulletin board for her �tudents, she might place in the very center, mounted on blue and white paper, this tribute: THEY ASK ME WHY I TAUGHT* They ask me why I taught, And I reply, .. Where could I hove found more splendid company? There sits a statesman, Strong, unbiased, wise, Another later Webster, Silver-tongued. And there a doctor Whose quick, steady hand Con mend a bone, Or stem the lifeblood's flow. A builder sits beside him- Upward rise The arches of a church he ·builds, wherein That minister will speak the word of God, And lead a stumbling soul to touch the Christ. .And all dbout A lesser gathering Of formers, merchants, teachers, Laborers, men Who work and vote and build And pion and pray Into a great tomorrow. And I soy, "I may not see the church, Or hear the word, Or eat the food their hands will grow-- And yet- I may.·· And later I may soy, "I knew the lad, And he was strong, Or weak, or kind, or proud, Or bold, or gay. I knew him once, But then he was a boy." T•hey ask me why I taught, and I reply, "Where could I hove found more splendid company?" *Adapted from the work of Glennice L.
