Tubman High School - Maids and a Man Yearbook (Augusta, GA)

Erhiratinn Because she has unseltishly devoted her- self in order to teach us to appreciate and love the finer things in life and literature, and because she is abounding in gentle humor, we, the l95O Staff of Maids And A Man, affectionately dedicate this annual to Miss Gertrude J. Comey, whose sympathetic insight readily allows her to understand, like Joel Chandler Harris did, the many scared rabbits that are discovered in the calami- ties of each day. She holds out that shining promise to each student, as Uncle Remus did tothe little boy, that although Brer Fox almost caught Brer Rabbit, he never really did-and he never really was going to.
