MRS. JUANITA OLIVE While we stop to think, we often miss our opportunity. THE SENIORS ' 58 Ring out wild bells, to the wild sky. The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. ALFRED TENNYSON IN APPRECIATION This page is very small to give to one who has given so much, but we hope that this deed can, in its small way, express our appreciotion to Mrs. Olive for her untiring patience in her constant struggle of showing us the way to a better life. Credit for the good annuals we have had in the pastyears goes to Mrs. Olive. She got us off to agood start by organizing our staff and started us working. We will always be indebted to her for the time she has given up so that we could make up for the time we wasted during school hours. We have the deepest admiration and love for Mrs. Olive and wish to thank her for everything.
