Seniors Dedicate Annual to Wildcat Lady She always has a bright smile and warm words for everyone. She will always help with any school project. She is Mrs. Patsy Smith. For many years Mrs. Smith has dedicated her time and talents to this school. She has painted miles of spirit signs and large wildcats at both the old school on Williams Street and on the gym floor, gym walls, and in the lobby in this school. Cleveland Field has its own stalking wild- cat, while another of Mrs. Smith’s cats guards the comer of Williams street and Brookwood Drive. Faculty and administrators have also depended on Mrs. Smith for lettering awards certificates and drawing maps and posters. All classes have counted on her help during Homecom- ing to plan and execute floats for the parade. Under her professional touch, Mathis City Auditorium became an old West setting for this year’s dance. For all her help and love, seniors voted to recognize Mrs. Smith in a special way by dedicating the SANDS- PUR 1979 to her. LEFT: Mrs. Smith shows Louise Moses how to correct a sketch.
