The Eagle staff wishes to express their appreciation to Mrs. Mena Gilmore for her 35 years of ser- vice as an elementary teacher by dedicating the 1966-67 annual to her. She has taught 18 of the 35 years at Ashland, the rest of which were spent teaching at Crenshaw, Cl ays ville, Cedar City, and Christian schools. When asked what she considered her greatest reward in teaching she replied, To work with such nice children. I get attached to them each year. We cannot fully express our ap- preciation, but we hope that this book will serve as a small token of our thanks. Mrs. Gilmore is an active member of the Parent-Teacher Students do their daily lessons under Mrs. Association. Among the PTA activities which she attended Gilmore's careful supervision. was the annual teacher's tea. 5

Out of School Life, into Life's School Within the pages of this 1967 Eagle it is hoped that you will view pictures or read passages that will bring to mind treasured experiences of the past year. The Eagle staff has compiled this publica- tion for the enjoyment and approval of their classmates, teachers, family, and friends. The time spent in its preparation will be worthwhile only if it achieves its objective of capturing in picture and word the glori- ous days of the 1966-67 school year. At the beginning of this annual, it is also the desire of this year's staff to express a sincere thanks to several individuals who have given of their time and service to the students of Ashland High School. Special recognition is extended to Elvy and Ronnie Smith for taking the seniors on their annual trip, to Mrs. Sarah Middleton for her many hours spent in proofreading the annual, to Mr. and Mrs. Keith Farris for having on past occasions provided a meeting place and refreshments for the Eagle staff, and to Miss Lenzini, our sponsor. Although this message simply represents the beginning of a book of memories, it is a final salute to those who will leave the halls of AHS, and to those who return, it should serve as a reminder of what has happened and as an inspiration of what may lie ahead. •4

In Appreciation 30 Years at AHS Mrs. Sarah Middleton has been a sincere, dedicated teacher, who for the past 30 years has served Ashland High School well. Many students have passed through the door of her English room, and upon leaving could truthfully say that she is a lady of much wisdom. She has sponsored many classes through the years, has served actively as a P.T.A. officer and member, has directed class plays, and at one time sponsored the yearbook staff as well as the school newspaper. Her talents are many, her patience steadfast, and her friendship lasting. Mrs. Middleton very rarely forgets a name or a face, and it's almost certain that her many students and friends will long remember her name and smil- ing face. Mrs. Middleton talks informally with former stu- 6 dents at the open house held in her honor. Mr. and Mrs. Middleton proudly display the cake and flowers which adorned the refreshment table. Mrs. Middleton expressed her thanks to everyone for the lovely watch and record albums which Mr. Pendleton has just presented to her.
