Staff Honors Mrs. Witt For Service Mrs. Gordon Witt Mrs. Gordon Witt has been a member of the Culpeper County High School faculty for ten years. During this time she has given freely to the students of her time and patience. Mrs. Witt has been the adviser of the Dramatic Club for five years, during which time she directed at least two or more plays a year. Her interest and love of dramatics made it possible for the Dramatic Club to continue its good work. Not only for five years has Mrs. Witt directed the Dramatic Club but for that same number of years she has also been sponsor of the Freshman Class. It is with gratitude and appreciation that the Colonnade Staff dedicates this 1955 Colon- nade to Mrs. Gordon Witt.
