DEDICATION Because of your genuine companionship and friendly advice; your keen insight and sincere interest in all of our student activities; because you always acted for our best interests and our good; because you are an ac- complished and devoted teacher, who through your discerning and understanding, your fine sense of humour, and your inspiring personality have greatly endeared yourself to your pupils; because you are so human inside of class as well as outside; because of all these things, we honor you Miss Kirby with deepest admiration and respect. It is you whom we have been privileged to have as a teacher, counselor, and advisor for the past few years. We desire, at this time, to convey to you a sincere com- pliment by telling you that we wish to remember you as our friend. You have been an integral part of our college life and will always hold a place in our memory. Because of your vigorous and enduring influence upon your pu- pils, we shall be united to you in future years by the strong bond of ideals which these past years have created. We have had our share of problems during our college days but have had you along near at hand — aiding and sharing the most difficult tasks with the willingness and sincerity which has been constantly characteristic of you. As a small token of our affection and gratitude for your contribution to our lives, we dedicate our Year- book to you, Miss A. Florence Kirby. TEACHER SCHOLAR FRIEND
