'Dedicatum For the past three years a familiar face around AHS has been Mr. Paul Barr. Since he has worked with many of our graduates through their senior-high school years the EAGLE staff would like to dedicate the 1970-71 annual to him. Mr. Barr began teaching science in Ashland in 1968. During the past three years aside from teaching he has supervised the science fair exhibits and sponsored the eighth grade, sopho- more and junior classes respectively. In 1969 he was elected to serve as president of the Community Teacher’s Association. Outside the classroom Mr. Barr has spent some time working with 4-H members as a project leader in small engines. Regardless of whether he will be remembered as a teacher, sponsor, or just a friend, we hope that this dedication will serve as an ex- pression of gratitude for his contribution to AHS. Mr. Barr joins the staff in congratulating the Seniors of ’71. In his science classes Mr Barr makes use of the 'Periodic Table of the Elements to enhance their understanding of the symbols At the 1971 Science Fair. Mr Barr works with two students on their science experiments 8

yd tie K 1922 -1971 As a tiny tot and fair young girl, Centralia was her home. She grew up sharp and bright and gay, Then northward she did roam. At the college in Kirksville, She began her work. She studied hard both night and day, And never thought to shirk. Missouri University, Gave her more to do. She worked and studied without stop. Until finally she was through. The year was 1922, The schools were rural and small. Far West and Dunbar and Sunrise too, She answered to their call. Middle Grove in Monroe County, Murry School in Boone. Crenshaw was next in line, They danced to Nettie’s tune. Hartsburg gained in ’48, Her teaching talents rare. She loved her 'kids’ and lived the life, With all the people there. ’51 meant Ashland’s luck, To have this teacher grand. She taught them all but loved them more, And led them by the hand. For 42 years she’s honored us, By teaching in this state. She’s given more than taken, But that’s a teacher’s fate. For those of you who owe her much, But never stopped to say. Tell her NOW how much she’s meant, For what you are today. Mrs. Nettie Klemme, to you we say, And pray to God above, That you may always have and know, Our ever grateful love. - - Poem written by Mrs. Suzanne Aird 7
