Dedication Dear Yearbook, During my time at LHS, I met a real teacher. Not that they don't have a lot of real teachers here, but this one is, well, unreal she's so real. In her class you have homework that doesn't stop. And the things we have to do for her! We have to read books. We have to write paragraphs. We even have to speak proper English! And you know dearest yearbook, she really enjoys teaching English. It's like she really wants us to understand our language. Sure, I was like everyone else my first year here at LHS. I hated English. I hated all the work and all the corrections she made us do. But the more I worked for her, the less problems I had and the better I understood English. And you know, the best part of it is that this year I'm not having problems at all, and I owe it all to the freshman English teacher. Thanks Ms. Augustin. You really do make a difference. Sincerely, (Name withheld in case of grammatical error) Ms. Augustin In 1952, Ms. Augustin began her career in education as a teacher at St. Joseph Elementary School in St. Joseph. Tennessee the following year she was transferred to Loretto High School, where she would teach Chemistry and English for the next eight years. Ms. Augustin left LHS in the spring of 1961 and did not return until the fall of 1977. In the sixteen years that elapsed between teaching assignments at LHS. she taught at Lajes High School in the Azores. Portugal; at Bel-Air High School in Bel-Air. Maryland; and at Goodietsville High School in Goodletsville. Tennessee. Since she returned to LHS. Ms. Augustin has taught the bulk of freshman English, giving incoming freshmen a firm grasp on the English language. Because of her dedication to learning and her concern for the students of LHS, we, the Mustang '87 staff, do dedicate this yearbook to Ms. Augustin 16
