Gainesville High School - Bulldogger Yearbook (Gainesville, MO)

We, the 1975 BULLDOGGER staff, feel it is a privilege and great honor to dedicate this edition of the BULLDOGGER to Mrs. Stella Luna. Mrs. Luna has been in the teaching profession since 1933. She has spent 37 of these years in the Gainesville R-V school district educating students for business vocations. Who could even estimate the hours she has spent giving extra help in and out of the classroom or the number of lives she has molded and influenced? You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. We dedicate this annual to an individual who truly gave of herself.
