DEDICATION They have understood our problems, assisted us with patience of steel, listened to our complaints with an admirable smile, inspired us with confidence, e ncouraged us when we were disheartened, and enhanced our chance for success. Their determined effort to make us satisfied and happy shall always be remembered as one of our most precious school memories.
