DEDICATION Some people, much more lhan olhers, are able lo live life al a deep, rich and salisfying level. Such people usually feel for olhers, lhink clearly aboul issues and perceive beauly and goodness wherever lhese exisl. Such a person is Miss Marian Slocklon, leacher al Richmond Union High School for lhirly-lwo years. A more dedicaled leacher lhan Miss Slocklon probably cannol be found anywhere. She has loved her work of leaching business skills, and she has broughl lo il wide praclical knowledge. Even more, she has lrealed her sludenls wilh a kindly palience and warm under- slanding which have endeared her forever lo numberless sludenls. Needless lo say, her classroom virluosily is buf one of lhe many fine lhings which have helped lo make Miss Slocklon's life so full. She has, for example, always been a devolee of nalure. Many are lhe pack-lrips she has made inlo lhe high Sierras and many lhe camps she has sel up in oul-of-lhe-way places. She has fished counlless slreangs wilh experl finesse and swum many rivers wilh experl slrokes. She also has a perfecl passion for flowers, bolh wild and cullivaled. She knows lhem, grows lhem, coIIec+s lhem and painls lhem. Her garden is a delighl lo behold. Bul like all of us, Miss Slocklon also spends some lime indoors. Here, il musl be fold, she excels as a cook. Her sluffed squab is regarded by her friends as nolhing shorl of fabulous. Al home she also likes lo lry her hand al wriling and waler-colors. The oulline of Miss Slocklon's life is as inleresling as her accomplishmenls. She received her early schooling al Los Banos and lhen allended college al San Jose Slale where she prepared lo become an elemenlary leacher. Bul afler savoring elemenlary leaching for lhree years, she was cerlain fhaf il was nol for her. So she gave il up, look a business course and worked for lhree years in a business office. This, loo, was nol wholly lo her lasle. Then, during World War l, she wenl lo Washinglon, D. C., and worked in lhe War De- parlmenl. Aller lhe war she allended lhe Universily of Cali- fornia where she received her A.B. degree and secondary leaching credenlial. Armed wilh lhese, Miss Slocklon wenl lo Angels Camp, laughl lwo years, and finding lhal lhe arl of leaching commercial courses was an exacling and pleas- ing one, finally came, in January, l925, lo Richmond Union High School where she has laughl her speciallies ever since, bolh lo boys and girls and lo adulls al nighl school. During lhese evenlful years Miss Slocklon look upon her- self lhe rigorous lask of rearing her five molherless nephews. Indeed, her boundless affeclion for her family and her uller- ly loyal devolion lo her friends have been lwo of her oul- slanding lrails. Bul she is also dislinguished by anolher, equally slrong lrail and lhis is her fearlessness in advocal- ing ideas which she slrongly believes lo be righl. Now, on lhe Golden Anniversary of Richmond Union High School, Miss Slocklon has decided lo relire from her long career of leaching, lhirly-seven years all lold. And some- how il has seemed a mosl happy Circumglance fo ug' fhe Class of I957, lhal lwo such noleworlhy evenls should coin- cide. Each seems lo add lusler lo lhe olher. Because we feel lhese lhings so deeply, we dedicale, wilh special de- lighl, our Golden Anniversary Shield lo Miss Slocklon, our golden-hearled friend and leach'er, and wish her well more lhan we can say.
