All the world's a stage and as each act fades away pleasant memories remain. The best memories are the memories of the people who have helped us. These people we ad- mire and respect. The Class of 1966 would like to share its memories of one very special person, Mrs. Virginia Carey, with the entire student body and faculty. Obviously we remember biology class first. Even before we entered high school we had heard of biology class. Some of us may have shared fears that we would not be able to master this difficult subject, but we soon learned that although Mrs. Carey's standards were extremely high if we worked hard we succeeded. We appreciate the fact that we had to work hard in biology class because we learned more than biology. We learned not to be satisfied with halfway measures. Later in life we will appreciate this even more. As mature adults we will remember gratefully Mrs. Carey and her efforts on our behalf. We remember more than hard work. We remember little things like the double desks in Mrs. Carey's room. The drawers in these desks were so small that all of our books could not fit in them. We remember collecting leaves and dissecting worms, crayfish, and frogs. And no one will ever forget Mrs. Carey's guinea pigs and the day they had babies. We remember Mrs. Carey, the teacher, but we also remember Mrs. Carey, our ad- visor. Mrs. Carey was our Sophomore Class Advisor and shared much of her free time with TJs. With her help we raised money for the Prom in our iunior year. She organized our many different committees such as the bake sale committee, the candy committee, and the stationery committee. She worked diligently on all of these committees, and she made us want to work, too. When we were iuniors Mrs. Carey continued to help us. If our regular advisor was un- able to attend after school meetings, Mrs. Carey was always willing to stay and help. We know she was not obligated to stay with us, so we appreciate even more this volunteer help she gave us. We will always remember Mrs. Carey, our teacher, advisor, and friend. We hope she will re- member us. As a small token of our debt and gratitude to her, we the Class of 1966 gratefully dedicate the 1966 Kiskitas to Mrs. Virginia Carey. I
