r - l A I My Time Is Your Time HATS OFF to Virginia Cooper. We, the class of 1946, salute her and dedicate this Ionian to her. More than tops as our teacher of English and Latin, she has shown an eager interest in the progress of her students and a readiness to talk over our problems with us, building that rare friend-to-friend atmosphere in our classrooms. How We stand in awe before those heights of education! AB., Hon. MED., and MA.-that's our Miss Cooper. For ten years lonia High School has been enriched by her keen mind and ready wit, and as We leave, each of us knows that her fine example and influence will inspire us to greater achievement.
