1968 ORIOLE DEDICATED

Page 17 text:

MOMENTS It would be impossible to recall every day of 1968. As completeness eludes the historian, only significant mo- ments may be recorded. The elation of victory was ample • reward for our preparatory efforts and struggles. Times of enjoyment mingled with our frustration at the incessant routines of classwork. At the end of the year as graduation approached, our uncertainty was assuaged by our expecta- tions for the future. As these moments are affixed to the sum of our human consciousness, we have herein attempt- ed their re-enactment.

TO MISS RUTH SIMPSON Miss Simpson instructs students in typing drills. To do work well, to execute skills unerringly, and to help students faithfully is worthy of praise. Moreover, to go the extra mile, to help students help themselves, and to be interested in the total welfare of the student is deserving of the highest praise. When Pulaski High School was built in 1954, Miss Simpson took upon herself the tedious task of trans- ferring records, files, and transcripts from the old build- ing to the new one. Through her service in the commer- cial department for the past twenty-six years, she has helped a majority of the students and taught them skills which have been invaluable to them throughout life. However, to only teach a skill has not been enough for her. She has gone beyond what has been required, to give her students guidance and understanding. Moments spent in her classroom or talking with her elsewhere have been pleasant and enricliing. Her efforts have insured the success of many Junior-Senior Proms, and with dedication to the teaching profession, she has instilled in her pupils a desire to do exceptional work. She has helped each of her students in countless ways without thought of recognition. However, tliis year, the students of Pulaski Higli School are- pleased to recognize her for her ceaseless efforts by dedicating the 1968 Oriole to you. Miss Ruth Simpson. Miss Simpson discusses ideas for the Junior-Senior Prom with Ned Bane, Donna Clevinger and Tommy Kegley.
