L. B. MAYFIELD 0 There is something important about this faculty we members of the graduating class of '43 would like to say and we must say it for it comes from the hearts. For one thing, you have given without stint of your time, energy, and patience, and you have smiled, a little wearily, perhaps, when we have made your days hectic and unending. But the thing you have done which stands highest of all is that you earned our greatest respect. Up to now we have probably not said thank you, that is why we are speaking now while you are still one of us. We want to say thanks to the English teache ers, you Miss Snyder, Miss Spurgin, Mrs. Sether, Miss Phillips, and Mrs, Mills, for letting us argue out our explosive and half-formed ideas-we know what freedom of speech means because we've lived it. And we want to say thanks to you social studies teachers for making an idea called demo- cracy come right into the room with us in all its flaming glory, from Valley Forge to Casablanca. We feel that it, with its freedom of education, is of lllllllllllSlllflllllll llllll fllCUllll our heritage, you helped us see that, both Mrs, Smiths, Mrs. Olson and Mr. Taylor. To you math and science teachers-we wish there were some way we could tell you how very grateful we are for your tireless patience, your endless fortitude in explaining to a seething, blank- faced class. We realize now that perhaps we weren't the only ones who worried if we didn't un- derstand something. Perhaps you worried too - Mrs. Herron, Mrs. Butler, Mr. Cope, Mr. Hussong and Mrs. Myers. And to you music teachers, from the bottom of our hearts we feel our debt to you for your splen- did gifts to us. From pep assemblies to meetings, luncheons, dances, and radio programs, to mention only the most common, you have produced, often at a moment's notice, the right thing at the right time. Also thanks so very much to the art teacher, for those countless posters and signs that we had to have immediately, if not sooner. We're talking to you, Miss Riesch and Miss Phipps. lf 1 Am
