GIVEN: SPIRIT Four years ago last September, Miss Martha Hardy returned to Bellevue High School from a long illness so severe it was feared she would never walk again. But with determined spirit, she fought her way back to Bellevue, to help guide us over the route ahead. For four years, Miss Hardy, teacher and friend, not only has taught us the intricacies and pleas- ures of mathematics, creative writing and BEACON publication, but also has helped us through a difficult period of our lives, in which, still on the fringe of boyhood and girlhood, we PROVED: ITS WORTH must try to assume the responsibilities of men and women. Long after theorem 79 and postulate 12 are forgotten, we will remember the cautious word of warning, the humorous anecdote, the fun, laughter and hard workin room 206. Above all, we can never forget the person who has done so much for all of us. We can think of no better way to show our sincere appreciation and heart-felt gratitude, than by the dedication of this, the 1954 BEACON, to Miss Martha Hardy. 7
