1963 ECHO” DEDICATED TO MISS MAUD YONTZ We proudly dedicate this annual to Miss Maud Yontz. We who have come to know her realize that she is a vivacious person and a wise counselor. One student said, “1 didn’t know that English could be interesting until Miss Yontz taught our class. I worked diligently, just for her.” Others say things like these: ‘‘It’s interesting to learn that she t aught my parents,” or ‘‘I always enjoy conversing with her, because she is very interesting and understanding. She makes one feel important.” Miss Yontz completed both grade and high school at Pierceton, beginning her teaching career in a one- room country school with just twelve weeks of training. She has taught every grade from one through twelve, and along with classroom work, has coached both the junior and senior plays. With the exception of one year, she has been senior sponsor since 1937 and from i950 has established herself mainly with the library. She enjoys traveling very much and this probably contributes to her ability as an interesting con- versationalist. Any Library Club member could tell you about her delicious cooking which she enjoys doing. She also spends much of her leisure time reading. ‘‘I am now working on the second generation,” she commented, ‘‘and like Mr . Chips, I find much joy in the fact that there are literally thousands of former pupils whom I think of as MY boys and girls.” Miss Yontz is gracious, charming, very capable, and sincere. The students of Pierceton High School will always remember her in just this way.
