We Pause to Honor Marion Senior High School and Smyth County were served long and faithfully by the one we now honor. It is with the deepest sor¬ row, yet with the greatest love and respect that we will always remember in our hearts and prayers Mr. Louis D. Dabney. He gave thirty- seven years of his life to education, and his place will never again be completely filled. Mr. Dabney was born and grew up in and around Washington, D.C., where he achieved many awards at Armstrong High School, both academic and athletic. He attended Virginia State College, where he again excelled in his studies and in sports, lettering in three sports— football, basketball, and baseball—for four years. His football honors include being named to the CIAA team for two years, and to the Pittsburgh Courier All-American team his sen¬ ior year. He received his Master’s Degree in education from the University of Pennsylvania. In 1932, Mr. Dabney came to Marion to teach. On June 25, 1934, he and the former Evelyn Richardson were united in marriage. Three sons were born to the couple—Charles Louis, Howard, and James. A member of Mt. Pleasant United Method¬ ist Church, Mr. Dabney was a lay reader for the congregation, and a Sunday School teacher. He held innumerable positions in the commun¬ ity, including positions on the hospital Board of Directors, and the VEA. We will always hold a special place in our memories for Mr. Dabney. Every move he made, every thought he had, deeply influenced someone somewhere, and in this way Louis D. Dabney will always remain a part of our lives. Page 8
