DEDICATION The Seniors of 1954 hereby dedicate this work to the Memory of Miss Cora Carlock, past third grade teacher, and Rev. E. J. Barber, past minister of Atlanta Christian Church. Miss Carlock was a member of the teaching profession for forty-six years, forty-four of them at Atlanta. One of her greatest assets was her love of children whose progress and welfare as individuals were her chief concern. She was endowed with very high ideals and possessed a spirit of good humor that endeared her to all who knew her. Her influence will live on in the lives of over a thousand boys and girls who were privileged to be her pupils. Rev. Barber, or E. J., as he was affectionately known to most of the Community, was a friend to all, regardless of age. He was particularly active in his work among the young people. His cheery greeting and contagious good humor are memories that will long be cherished. E. J. was a tireless worker in any community enterprise, and his cooperation could always be depended upon; it was in the planning of a school project that he met his untimely end. In view of the great loss to our School, and our Community in the passing of these beloved citizens, it is most fitting that this work should be dedicated to their memory.
