7,2771 ' We miss you Miss Twyman. We miss seeing you in study hall, your hall. We can't quite refrain from looking up eagerly when footsteps come in. There is a kind of emptiness when we glance through your open office door and see the rows of pictures of students long gone by. We miss the familiar rose you always wore. You know, we even miss the inevitable tapping of your pencil when we got too involved in a conversation, and the pert tilt of your head, as if to say, Hey, what goes on here? But, you know what we miss most of all, Miss Twyman? Your welcoming smile that lighted up your face, the proud lift of your head and your indepen- dent air. You told us to walk straight, hold our goals high. You gained the respect of all of us as only a person of your character could. When you were sent to the hospital that day, we watched in stunned silence, and as the ambulance drove away, some of us shook our heads as if to say, What will we do now? 'We can only say as you did the dayrwe dedicated the 1947-48 Klahiam to you and Miss Baker, It is my joy in life to find at every turning of the road, The strong arms of a comrade kind to help me onward with my load. And since I have no gold to give, and love alone must make amends, My only prayer is while I live, God make me worthy of my friends. Miss Twyman, you were our comrade kind, who helped us onward. May we always be worthy of the goals you set for us.
