As time passes, our memories fade: yet pictures and words in a book remain as vivid as the day they were printed. Thus, schools create annual yearbooks to retain forever the images of our pasts. The theme of this year's Maroon and Gold is Reflections This single word captures what all believe a yearbook should provide: the means to reminisce and to realize how the years at school have helped to shape each of us into the adult he or she has become. ln choosing a recipient for this year's dedication, it seemed appropriate to select a person who was influential to us during our high school years. As we considered our choices, one name continued to surface - that of a person who had been intimately involved in the creation of memories for a decade of GHS students as advisor of the f.

Last spring she resigned to relocate to Lewes, Delaware with her husband, former principal, Roy E. Holland, and her daughter Ursula. Ms. Cobbs' advisory position was not the only reason for our choice. She has also endeared herself to us as a dedicated teacher and a caring individual. Her students use a wide range of descriptives to portray her - tough, demanding, hard-working, persistent, disciplined, fair, fun- loving, and concerned. Ms. Cobbs believed that the only way to receive the best efforts from her students was to demand those efforts. Her expectations were high because she believed in her students and challenged them to strive for achievement. But Ms. Cobbs never expected l

from others what she was not willing to do herself. She was always there to provide assistance, encouragement, and her own time to help students meet their potentials. She could often be found in the building before the school day began and long after it had ended as she modeled the behavior she expected from others: the creation of an ordered environment, a willingness to expend the time and effort necessary to fulfill the task, and the completion of the best possible final product. During her tenure here at GHS, Ms. Cobbs saw many colleagues come and go. As yearbook advisor she was often responsible for selecting one of them as the dedicatee for the yearbook. This task was a challenging one, for it required the analysis of those achievements and qualities which best portrayed the essence of that it Qld? di -1 2- person. For us, however, this task is not difficult at all. We, the staff of the 1988 Maroon and Gold, are living examples of Ms. Cobbs' dedication to the development of the individual student and the 1988 Maroon and Gold is concrete testimony to her completion of the final product. Although she was not here to help us ship the final copy, Ms. Cobbs had helped us to layout this book last year and had instilled in us the skills, self-discipline, and sense of commitment which have guided us in producing this annual. Thus, it is with love and thanks that we dedicate the 1988 Maroon and Gold to Ms. Nan Cobbs. May our Reflections make her proud. WWF! ' 35.1. .i f l 1 ...in
