Dedication Colonnade Proudly Dedicated to Miss Bolen Culpeper County has been the life-long home of Miss Mary George Bolen. Until just a few years ago Miss Bolen resided at the place of her birth, “Eldorado”. Her early schooling took place in the one room schoolhouse near her farm. She remained in this school until her second year of high school when she transfered to the Culpeper High School, which is presently Ann Wingfield. After graduating from CHS in 1919, Miss Bolen attended Farmville State Teachers College, now Longwood College, where she obtained her B.S. degree. Later, she continued her studies at the Uni- versity of Virginia and the Columbia School of Library Service. Miss Bolen began her long career with the Culpeper County School Svstem as a grade school teacher. She later became high school librari- an and still manages to carry on this hard job. Miss Bolen is very active in community affairs. She is a member of the Salem Garden Club and her beau- tiful dahlias, roses, jonquils, and chrysanthemums l J have often brightened up the school and homes of her friends. Among other organizations of which Miss Bolen is a member are the Culpeper Historical Soci- ety and the Ladies Fire Auxiliary. She also attends Alum Spring Baptist Church, where she teaches a Sunday School class. Not only is Miss Bolen active in outside activities, but she contributes much to the school organizations. Miss Bolen serves as adviser of the Library Club, of Quill and Scroll, and of the COLONNADE. All three tasks are very time consuming, but she is always able to fulfill her many duties as adviser of these three or- ganizations. Because she has so willingly and unselfishly given of her time and energy to support school activities, because she has been adviser of the COLONNADE for twenty-eight years, and because she has been, and still is, so active in the community, the COLONNADE staff proudly dedicates the 1971 COLONNADE to Miss Mary George Bolen. M iss Mary George Bolen gladly poses for this picture with Miss Fannie, who is her special pet. 4
