You are invited to the Laurel-Wreath Crowning of MISS HELEN HILLENBRAND As our class adviser from the plebian to the patrician ranks, she has worked with a special vigor, planning our gay festivals and amusements, encouraging and promoting a vigorous class spirit—guiding the splendor and spectacle of our great pageant. Our class proms, dances, parties, trips, assemblies — all have found her behind the scenes, driving with a personal force insuring success. Her planning and sound advice on class problems, whether personal or scholastic, have given to us that extra amount of pride and confidence in Dover High School and in our graduating class. In her tenth year as a member of our faculty, Miss Hillenbrand has not only stood as the backbone of our gay Roman festival, but she has also taken on yet more responsibility. Her Room 101 has been to all students, clubs, and faculty, a center of assistance in typing at all times. Added to this, she has ably directed the usherettes at various school functions. In all. Miss Hillenbrand has combined her warm personality and thorough efficiency to serve our class and our school invaluably. Therefore — As the laurel is the symbol of honor, and the crown, of distinction, we, the Class of 1955, would like to crown Miss Helen Hillenbrand, our friend and class adviser, with a laurel wreath to serve as an unspoken expression of our deepest thanks, a symbol of our highest admiration. The Alpha, Bela, Comma’s of typing demonstrated with the master s touch.
