 MISS KATHERINE SMITH We, the class of 1951 are happy to show our appreciation in this way to Miss Smith who retired at the end of the 1950 school term. FOR her 16 years of teaching in the junior and senior high. FOR her untiring perseverance in a successful attempt to teach us the fundamentals of arithmetic. FOR the habits of thrift which we gained during the time she was head of the thrift club. FOR being a lady who earned the respect and admiration of all her associates and students. 6

 MISS ESTHER COOPER To you. Miss Cooper, we the class of 1951, take pride in dedicating the 110th edition of the Athenian. BECAUSE of your many years of faithful service to the youth of Athens. BECAUSE of your straight forward friendly advice when it was so badly needed in our formative years. BECAUSE of your well balanced classes which were topped by amusing anecdotes. BECAUSE of your careful planning of 180 unusually interesting assignments which we took for granted. BECAUSE of your shining examples of impartiality and generosity at school and in the community. BECAUSE you have so eternally been there for us to lean on. 7
