MRS. MARTHA H. BAKER ; October 16, 1963 Dear Seniors, Please accept my deep appreciation for the many surprises and kindnesses of my last day at school. The delicious food at the parties, the beautiful gift, the well-chosen card. The rose, the precious letter and signatures, and your thoughfulness in planning all of this--everything simply emphasized what you have meant to me through the years. I pray that strength and wisdom will be given you, all your teachers, and your senior sponsor as you face the strenuous, busy days and months ahead. Sincerely, Martha Baker
