Behiratinn Las: fall we. the seniors, looked forward with anticipation to our last year at Sulli- van high school with three new teachers- Principal Maurice E. Pearson, Mrs. Florence Pearson and Miss Venora Stinchtield. In our minds we painted a picture of what we should like these teachers to be, and now, as the year draws to a close. we join with the school in saying that they have been more to us as teachers. advisers and friends than we had hoped for. It is with these thoughts in mind that we dedicate Lhis issue of The Beacon to our three teachers.
