DEVOTION THIS IS HER “BUSINESS” that's the word to describe the chairman of the Business Department here at Southern Nash Senior High School. Webster defines devotion as ardent love or affection for something. For forty years Mrs. Laurine T. Lassiter has fulfilled these requirements with her energies and talents for the educa- tion of the young. We the younger gen- eration, often allow ourselves the un- fortunate privilege of forgetting that our great nation and all of those blessings that accompany it have been established by persons with such great and profound devotion as we find here in our own midst. | Mrs. Lassiter calls Murry, Kentucky her real home , though she has learned to love N.C. very much. She com- | pleted her undergraduate studies at Murry State University where she earned a B.S. degree in Business Education and her graduate studies at East Carolina University where she earned her master's degree in secondary Education. Mrs. Lassiter had ten years of experience in teaching prior to her coming to North Carolina. She taught at Bailey High School as the business department for twenty-seven years. Then, when our school was opened she came here with us as the chairman of our Business Pro- gram. Having a professional attitude is a part of Mrs. Lassiter's philosophy. She is faithful to the professional organizations on the local, state, and national levels. She is also a member of the North Carolina Business Education Association and Delta Kappa Gama. Being active in organizations helps one to keep abreast of the new trends in education, ' she says. Needless to say Mrs. Lassiter is quite happy in her work. Being able to place Business graduates in a good job gives me a great deal of satisfaction, '' she says. Mrs, Lassiter admits she feels that she has grown in a professional way while working with such a large and varied faculty and student body as we have here at Southern. She feels that our school -- the comprehensive con- solidated high school -- has many ad- vantages to offer students today. 'South- ern Nash Senior High is truly a school of the future. We should all feel proud to be a part of this progressive educa- tional facility. Because of her enthusiasm and untiring service, we the students of Southern Nash Senior High School wish to de- dicate this volume of UNITAT to Mrs. Laurine T. Lassiter. 3 toon range ARs SOO aman, a€¢ wOS897 vol apeig jeday sseurng Tv2-LEZ suossey = jp jug $38 Lewes tawn« a) $90 Teviniqne Prauxticg Direct Reaches MONTH BORON : nN BOTH. WEA Tiing AIG CG 147
