SO WE DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO YOU. Miss Barbara Johnson Miss Johnson, a member of the Business Department, and adviser to the Blueprint, will be fondly remembered by all those who have worked with her. Today’s commercial students arc more aptly prepared for success in the business world thanks to Miss Johnson's efforts. However, she is more than a teacher; her determination and perseverance as our yearbook adviser are thankfully acknowledged by the staff, for without Miss Johnson, the Blueprint would never have reached the presses. Although responsible primarily for instructing the typing staff, she has additionally helped us with many of our minor problems with an equanimity which we lacked in time of crisis. . As seen about school It is difficult to express our gratitude to Mrs. Sanderson and Miss Johnson, with whom we have worked so hard, and to whom we owe so much. A mere acknowledgement of their sincere efforts seems most inadequate, for it is impossible to convey our sentiments towards such dedicated instructors and advisers, and above all, towards such warm and wonderful friends. A student seeks Miss Johnson’s friendly advice 5

AS YOU HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO US, The pressures and problems of compiling the 1967 Blueprint have been fully understood and experienced only by our yearbook advisers, Mrs. Gretchen Sanderson and Miss Barbara Johnson. Without their guidance and patience, and their inspiration and determination, we could never have completed this book to our satisfaction. Mrs. Gretchen S. Sanderson . . . Lending a helping hand Working with her students Mrs. Sanderson stimulates her students’ creativity and artistic independence, both as an educator and as an adviser. She instills within her students an interest in and an appreciation for the line and applied arts. As adviser to the Art Club, Mrs. Sanderson motivates her aspiring artists by presenting opportunities not necessarily open to them in the classroom. We who have been fortunate enough to work with Mrs. Sanderson on the yearbook will never forget her long hours after school, her help in making decisions, her meetings with our publisher. her constant encouragement, and her optimistic outlook. 4
