! E[ iCAW N To Miss Lela McKinley, who is on ideal teacher, highly re- spected and appreciated by the entire student body, the Annual Staff has the honor and privilege of dedicating this 1944 Pitahaya. We rate her highly for her understanding ways and sympathetic attitude toward her pupils. Miss McKinley, born in Pearsall, Texas, and a graduate of the local high school, is now head of the Mathematics Department. She attended Our Lady of the Lake College, Columbia, Colo- rado, and Texas University where she received her B.A. and M.A. degrees. She majored in mathematics, history, and education, and minored in economics. She is a past president of the Alpha Nu Chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma. While she teaches mathematics because she likes it. Miss McKinley ' s ambition is to have a class in which everybody knows enough to pass! I know this class better than any other Senior Class, for I have taught most of its members algebra, geometry, and trigo- nometry, stated Miss McKinley in reference to the Class of ' 44. It is an outstanding class, and I expect great achievements from its members.
