PREFACE

This booklet was published by the American

Association of University Women, Delaware Branch,

Delaware, Ohio, to give recognition to a few of the

women who have performed services to Delaware

County or have had an interesting profession or vo-

A WAY TO LIVE

We must not measure life by years,

but measure it in laughs and tears.

Measure life by the love we had,

and all the things that made us glad.

Measure happiness derived from giving.

A short life may be long with living.
