% education MiAA, fluli t McKie, Pe fM,e4. Always a champion in the field of education, and a vitally important figure on our campus, Miss Pegues merits particular attention in this yearbook. Students remember and appreciate her demand for painstaking accuracy and thoroughness. Through her fortitude and perserverance, new fields of learning were opened to them. She set her standards high and made her classes measure up to them. She demanded the very best of each individual and accepted no less. Yet, in her busy schedule, she always managed to find time and patience to help a lagging pupil, no matter how worthless he seemed. Nominated by fellow faculty members and chosen to represent Cherokee County, Miss Pegues was named Teacher of the Year for District I of the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs. We at Murphy High School would in gratitude add our prayer—that the years ahead be filled with health, happiness, and the blessings Miss Pegues so richly deserves.
