No one loved him more, not me nor you. 2 He made everyone’s light turn bright, he never made it dim. When asked to do something, he did his best—never his worst.

Dedicated to Mrs. Wanda Whitby A shining light glowing through our school day memories is the subject of this dedication. She was always there counting money and collecting money for various things, taking messages, and doing loads of paperwork. She was always there to listen to complaints of students, teachers, and even the principal. She was always there for everyone. For her service to students and faculty, the members of the annual staff lovingly dedicate the 1980 TIGER to our high school secretary, Mrs. Wanda Whitby. This is one small “thank-you to the students friend. 3
