BERRIEN SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL 1972 CANOE VOL 45 presents . . . DEDICATION The 1972 Canoe Staff, with sincere appreciation, would like to dedicate this annual yearbook to Mrs. Eleanor Moon and Mrs. Bernice Roth. Thanks to these two industrious ladies, this school is kept on an even keel. Among the many services they provide are included, an answering service, accountants, and personal confidants in non-school matters. Not only are they always busy with direct school business, but they are always ready and willing to help any student. They help to supply the student with anything he may need from a safety pin or band-aid to finding that fifty-cent error in the treasurer's book. The Canoe Staff would like to say a special thank-you to Mrs. Moon and Mrs. Roth for helping us make this yearbook a success.
