In the fall of i965 she was appointed by Governor Dan Moore to serve on the North Carolina Textbook Commission.

This year at Parkland she was in charge of the experimental team teaching United States history class. For plea- sure, Mrs. Mickey enjoys sewing, do- ing needlework, and going camping. Teaching or counseling, Mrs. Vir- ginia Mickey has been an inspiration to all of us for scholastic achievement. Through her thoughtful advice and warm friendship, she has helped us to adjust to a new building and com- bined student body and faculty. ln the classroom her bountiful knowledge and enlivening humor have enriched our minds and motivated us to search for higher goals. Her knowledge and understanding of young people, her wise judgment, and her unfailing kindness have encouraged us to seek her guidance in personal as well as academic problems. To Mrs. Mickey, who has willingly given her time to direct, encourage, and unselfishly serve our class, we, the seniors, proud ly dedicate the 1966 Spectatus. Mrs. Virginia H. Mickey merits senior dedication. ln fulfilling her duty as class sponsor, Mrs. Virginia Mickey carefully measures Tommy Thompson for his cap and gown as he excitedly awaits graduation.
