'THISIS YOUR BOOK MISS MILDRED STOKES r She works calmly and quietly without one thought for herself. She gives herself and her life to others. She is devoted to her home and family. She dedicates herself to her students and leads them in the American Way. She helps them to ap- preciate their rights and privileges. She directs their young minds. She is Christian womanhood personified, with her devotion to home, family, nation, and youth. She has little leisure time because she sponsors the FLASHLIGHT. She lives and breathes a year- book from the planning stage to the bound product. She is never satisfied with less than the best the staff can do, because she knows the true value of a good yearbook and of a job well done. Re- written copy has been written again and pictures have been made over for the third time because of her unwillingness to settle for anything less than the best in the FLASHLIGHT. She came early and stayed late many days to see that the year- book was done correctly and completed on time. She worked hard and never complained. She did not expect any greater reward than the feeling of accomplishing a difficult task. She worked hard, and we love her for it. It is only fair to dedicate the 1960 FLASHLIGHT to Miss Mildred Stokes because it is her yearbook. i ak
