Dear Mrs . Edeyp When you came to Harley this year we knew little about you. Finding you were to be our homeroom teacher, we were happy, but doubtful . After out first homeroom period our fears were completely dispelled and in their place came confidence, devotion, and respect. In your wisdom and yourwonderful humorwe have found not only a teacher but a friend. You have guided us and delighted us. Your gift to us, this year, will be with us always. With love, The class of I954 m,,: .i i1 lil'1xln
