We, the members of the Maple Leaves staff, wish to take this opportunity in show- ing our sincere appreciation and respect to a fine woman, teacher, and friend, our own beloved science teacher, Miss Myrtle M. Miller. Miss Miller’s experience and extensive knowledge in her chosen field has given her the name throughout the state as a most outstanding science teacher. Since 1942, when she came to Fairmont Senior High, Miss Miller has been a guiding light to many. Her ability to understand and listen to our prob- lems endears her to the entire student body. She has brought much honor to Fairmont Senior High School. Through the years, her students in physics and chemistry have won many outstanding prizes and scholarships in the field of science. Last year, to further honor her, Miss Miller was named West Virginia’s Science Teacher of the Year. Active in many organizations, Miss Miller has a Bachelor of Science and Master’s degree from West Virginia University, attended Fairmont State College and Wooster College. As a member of fellowship groups, she has studied at the Case Institute of Technology and the University of Minnesota. She has served as president of the W. Va. Science Teachers, has been director of the State Science Talent Search for three years, and the W. Va. Junior Academy of science for eight years, and has served on the Executive Board of the American Association of Physics Teachers. Said Miss Miller, “My greatest joy and satisfaction is in seeing success and honor come to my students.” She believes that the best science student is one with interest, has above average intelligence, and an exact mind. So, to you, Miss Miller . . . for your service to our students . . . for the honors you have brought our school . . . and because we love you ... we dedicate this book. Miss Myrtle M. Miller
