Evelyn Zkompson Caw “Scratch the green rind of a sapling, or wantonly twist it in the soil, and a scarred or crooked oak will tell the act for centuries to come. So it is with the teaching of youth, which makes impres- sions on the mind and heart that are to last forever.” (Amiel) No matter how long a time separates us from these glorious years at L. H. S., visions of one exemplary individual will always reappear, bringing back the memories of her constant sympathy for our numerous problems. During our many triumphs and failures, she has been there with words of encouragement and helpful advice. Not only in class work but also in extra-curricular activities, she has been our guiding light. “Quaeres a nobis, amici, cur tanto opere hac femina delectemur. Quia suppeditat nobis ubi et animus ex hoc orbis terrae strepitu reficiatur et aures convicio defessae conquies- cant.” (Cicero) You may ask us, friends, why we are so much delighted with this woman. Because she supplies us with that by which both our mind is refreshed from this tumult of the world and in which our ears, wearied with wrangling, are rested. Lexington High School is indeed fortunate in having on its faculty this unselfish teacher, who gives her attention so willingly to the welfare of other people. Therefore, we, the Class of 1948, want to dedicate this, our Cryst. l, to “mirabile dictu ” MRS. LAW
