For Intellect, Vitality, When she first met her geometry classes at VHS last year, Mrs. Charles Worstall, by her brisk yet thorough presentation of les- son material, deeply impressed the stu- dents with whom she came in contact. Modern math came to life under her teach- ing. This year Mrs. Worstall broadened her relationship with the students by sponsor- ing the Beta Club. An art enthusiast, she gained community recognition by giving il- lustrated lectures at several churches and clubs. With tact and friendliness, Mrs. Worstall made a ready adjustment to teaching in a southern school after years of experience in New York schools. She gave her students an awareness that learning is not regional but universal, and that in any situation in- dividual personality is more important than geographical background. For these reasons, the seniors of 1963 chose Mrs. Worstall as the teacher to whom they wished to dedicate their annual.
