Education Is Enrichment

Mrs. Brown Leaves Lovely Image God give me sympathy and sense. And help to keep my courage high; God give me calm and confidence, And please, a twinkle in my eye. With wisdom, understanding, and a twinkle in her eye, Mrs. Vera Brown presents a perfect example of the qualities named in her favorite quotation. For the students fortunate enough to be enrolled in her class- es, Mrs. Brown brings Latin to life, confirming the familiar statement that Latin Lives Today. Although her teaching the classic language keeps many students from being in her classes, few fail to come in contact with Mrs. Brown's friendliness. She goes out of her way to help not only the students in her senior home room and her Latin classes but all the students in the school. Her retirement next year will be a great loss to both students and faculty of Valdosta High. With sin- cere gratitude for the encouragement and inspiration she has given during her years with us, the senior class dedicates the 1965 SANDSPUR to Mrs. Brown. 9 TOP LEFT: Assistant editor Larry Harrell presents Mrs. Brown with her corsage at the SANDSPUR dedication on Senior Day.

It is the goal of a complete and dynamic being, the synthesis of true desire and concentrated effort to acquire learning. It is the product of eager exploration, by the students and expert direction by the faculty. Education is enrichment. 'Tis education forms the common mind; Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined. II
