Since Seniors have the dough- nuts what’s left for the French Club to sell?” This is one of the many questions that have haunted the minds of teachers from the first day of school to the last. Among the oth- er daily hassles the teachers had to face were: removing Fred from the building, controlling obnoxious be- havior, and last, but not least, grad- ing papers they couldn't read. Mrs. Louise Bird epotimized the love of teaching by spending forty years in the classroom and teaching three generations of Bland County children. Her quick smile and sense of humor endeared her to students, parents, and fellow teachers. Her enduring patience and special way of teaching made school a pleasant experience. Mrs. Bird retired in June of 1983 at the age of 62. Mrs. Louise Bird, retiree, shares memo- ries with Mr. Fred Beamer at BCEA dinner. 4 Faculty

Individuals Individuals Individuals The hours we spent together are as pearls in the echoes of our lives. Our lives often resembled rows of dominoes. The personal- ities of those around us not only touched us but often changed us. We either improved our outlook and set higher goals or we al- lowed ourselves to be brought down as dominoes. Each tick of the clock and each grain of sand in the hour glass became only an echo of time as we pursued our goals for careers and happiness.
