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.

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

FALL Dropping Leaves Bring Students Back to LHS Dear Yearbook, Fall is the time of year I think of when I think of school. Fall is more than just leaves dropping from the trees; it is also the time when my friends and I return to school. Of course the school year usually starts in August, but it isn't long before there is a change in the weather, and it just feels like school. Cooler weather means classes, homework, and lunchroom food. It also means football games, Homecoming, and bonfires. Fall means a return to a daily routine. Summer is great for a while, but pretty soon, you just run out of things to do. At least when you get back to school you can depend on seeing your friends every day. Sure you have to put up with teachers and homework, but it is worth it. Sincerely, A. Student 17
