She taught Home Economics and Science, served as a class sponsor, and was a staunch supporter of the basketball teams. Her unfailing support of our school in all its phases will be long remembered Thou burden of all songs the earth hath sung. Thou retrospect of Times' reverted eyes. That dies ill-starred, or dies loved and young. And therefore blest and wise. 6 OWL DRUG Dierks, Arkansas GRADUATES BRENDA KAY ALEXANDER Who's Who 3.4; Annual Staff 3.4; Student Council 1-4; Paper Staff 3.4; Halloween Queen 2.4; Basketball 1-4; Class Officer 1-4; Class Play 3.4; Student Librarian 1.4; All District. 3.
