DEDICATIUN ln 1941, Mr. Tom Mercer, a long time English teacher at the Academy, brought his bride back to Governor Dum- mer from her native Ken- tucky. She has since warmed our community with her generous, outgoing, southern charm and hospitality. Alth- ough she no longer resides on campus, she has been a devoted employee and friend of the Academy. Many will remember her warm wel- comes to new students in Duncan House fnow the lnfirmaryi, in Commons and in Ingham where she and Mr. Mercer lived and raised their children. ln 1961, the Mercers moved to their own home on Faculty Lane. Although Mrs. Mercer has always extended herself to people, offering help and concern to all, she is best known today for her develop- ment of the Academy's Art Program. Since 1967, almost single-handedly, she has worked in the Art Studio providing many an aspiring artist patient encouragement, instruction and inspiration. The Gallery is also her domain, where she has tack- led the innumerable head- aches of receptions and exhibits. gr -u- ,. ,tl .H it if-t , . G T' Her students lovingly mock her enchanting south- ern accent, but they respect her love and knowledge of the arts. For this uncondition- al commitment of her life to Governor Dummer, we wish her a long and happy retire- ment and proudly dedicate the 1982 Milestone to: KITTIE STILES MERCER
