Dedication Mrs. Carney, our yearbook staff is really pleased to dedicate the 1962 Odessanean to you because we have pictorial proof right on this page of your thirty years of teaching in Odessa. Pleased, too, because we could hardly believe that an educational leader and friend as youthful and active as you are could possibly be the teacher in the classroom pictured below and dated on the blackboard May 16th, ’32. We think of you as one of our younger teachers. It is our pleasant task to report to the other members of our class of 1962 that you were graduated from nearby Watkins Glen High and, after one year in training class and four years teaching in rural schools, you came to Odessa Central School to teach first and second grade in 1932. We understand that your preparation included graduation from Cortland Normal School, a B.S. degree from Buffalo State Teachers College, and later thirty hours of graduate work at the American University in Washington, D.C., and at Syracuse and St. Lawrence University in New York State. With such a fine and complete background you have taught all grades from one to twelve and are now supervisor of our Junior High School. Among the many honors you have been accorded were presidencies of Odessa High School Faculty, of Schuyler County Teachers Association, and of the Five Counties Social Studies Council. We are proud to note that you also have been a leader in civic affairs having served as President of the Schuyler County T.B. and Public Health Association and Master of the Schuyler Grange in addition your present positions of Chairman of the Schuyler County Junior Red Cross, and Director of the Community Chest and T.B. Association and representative at annual meetings of the New York State Teachers Association. In the field of politics we are informed that you have studied Political History in Washington, D.C., have campaigned for membership in the New York State Democratic Party. Frankly, we are amazed that you have crowded so much splendid activity into your professional life and that you continue to bring to Odessa students, year after year as you did to us when in Junior High, a strict yet so very genial personality that we learned good study habits from you and will always remember you as one of our very finest teachers. As we prepare to leave the halls of Odessa, we know, Mrs. Carney, we shall always have most high admiration for you ! MRS. GEORGIA CARNEY Mrs. Carney's second grade class of 1932 at Odessa.
