“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to my fellow man let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it; for I shall not pass this way again. ' S. Grallet The Milbank Community suffered the loss of a dedicated and caring teacher, a faith- ful friend, a loving mother and a devoted wife in the untimely death of Mrs. Betty Pribyl on December 28, 1976. There was an energy in Mrs. Pribyl that made things happen when the paths of other persons touched hers. The clarity and care with which she loved others spoke with vitality of the great gift of life she was for others. Mrs. Pribyl touched the lives of her students, fellow teachers and friends by her in- fectious laugh, her thoughtfulness, her undaunted faith and courage, her ability to love and be loved, and her willingness to listen, to understand and to forgive. Her ability to enjoy life each day and her gift of self for others without counting the cost made her a teacher, a friend, a mother and a wife who will never be forgotten. We, the students of Milbank High School, wish to dedicate this annual to Mrs. Pribyl as a lasting tribute to a beloved friend and teacher. Each child she taught became a part of her family of friends. Their joys and problems were hers. May the example of her life continue to touch us and help us to realize that her ability to love and care for others was the thing which gave her life its deepest meaning.
