MRS. GORDON C. DAVIS SUPERINTENDENT OF WOMEN, AND MATRON ANY are the precious lessons we have gleaned from your gentle, placid, consecrated life, your Christ-like spirit and daily living which has made an imprint upon our lives. We have found you always willing to listen, comfort and advise us on the straight and narrow way. We cannot explain the efficiency with which you carry on your re- sponsibilities here at the school. But we do know it must be because of your close contact with the Source of all strength at the throne of Grace. You, Mrs. Davis, will never know what your life has meant to each of us in the Class of 1949 . May God bless you, as you daily live for Him. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace . and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk'upright1y. Psalms 84:11 - - -Ianetta Smith 1 1 g g it gg 1
