DEDICATION 1967 Mrs. Highfield at age one Mrs. Highfield at age five. The dedication is one of the most important parts of a yearbook. We, the 1967 Hi-Life staff, feel that the person who receives the dedication should be worthy and deserving of it in all respects. It was with this attitude that we chose Mrs. Marjorie Highfield as our candidate. One of Mrs. Highfield's most definite contributions is that of taking time to talk with individual students and helping them in whatever ways possible, whether it be school work, personal problems, or just problems in general. Most students know that her door is always open. Mrs. Highfield was born in Grand Haven, Michigan, to Mr. and Mrs. Elio Emery. Upon graduation from Grand Haven High School she enrolled in Hope College, Holland, Michigan, and graduated v ith a B. A. degree in 1944. She then attended the University of Michigan and graduated in 1945 with a Masters degree. 6

Mrs. Highfield In September of that same year, she came to Greenville Junior Hiqh as a history teacher. At this time she married Mr. Jack Highfield, yet continued her teaching career. Mr. Highfield is a pharmacist at the Highfield Drug Co. and has been an active participant in school and community affairs. Mr. and Mrs. Highfield are members of the Congregational Church in Greenville and have one son, Michael, who is presently a student at the University of Michigan. In her years of teaching at Greenville, Mrs. Highfield has given tirelessly of her time in many ways. In 1947 she was advisor of the school yearbook. In addition to her regular teaching duties, she was very instrumental in starting the first GHS Honor Society. She advised the Society for several years. Although she originally taught history, Mrs. Highfield is presently teaching English, particularly composition courses at high school level. The composition courses were set up and paced by Mrs. Highfield. She was also one of the promoters of Greenville's fine new English curriculum. It is clear by now that Greenville High School has been very lucky to have Mrs. Highfield on its educational staff and so the 1967 Hi-Life staff, in the name of the school, takes this opportunity to extend to you, Mrs. Highfield, our earnest appreciation and gratitude.
