DEDICATION Since we entered high school, there have developed within our hearts a deep respect and high esteem for a faculty beloved by all of us. To one of its members, a woman whose un- matched personality, endearing smile, sincere and unceasing devotion to her profession, and unselfish desire to be of service whenever call- ed upon have won our admiration and gratitude, we, the Seniors of 1950, dedicate this Boomer- Collegian. To you, Mrs. Josephine Taylor, with whom God has indeed blessed us, we wish the full measure of happiness. MRS.
