We extend our greatest appreciation to Miss Battle for enabling us to continue our educa- tion When a crisis befell our school. Her keen ability shall guide her to carry on the accepted standards which have brought her success. We, the Class of 1945, wish to ex- tend our best wishes for her future success.
