al Pioneer Press Staff Adviser, Miss Rennetta Davis. bl The familiar smiling face we grew to love. cl At home in the news room, Miss Davis could always be found proofreading her students' work. dl She was always eager to lend a helping hand to those who needed it. el Contemplating over copy that must be read and reread before it could be printed. A Friend and an Inspiration Dur Adviser Each year, the publications staff dedicates the yearbook to a faculty member who we believe has made a great contribution to our school. This year's dedication is also a tribute to the lady who has worked beside us and has kept the yearbook alive, Miss Rennetta Davis. In the past, other staffs have wanted to do what we have done, but she has always declined or persuaded them otherwise. However, this year, we felt the credit was long overdue, and therefore, Miss Davis, we dedicate this yearbook to you. She has accomplished something that few teachers have, relating to students on a one to one basis. When this happens, the friendship and respect established can last forever. Many who have worked with Miss Davis, understand this feeling very well. For the seven years she has taught at Boswell High School, she has become an everlasting friend to many who have passed through her Journalism, Publications, or English classes. With this friendship, has also come her years of experience in publishing newspapers and yearbook. She has a 'lnose for news , that is, she knows what constitutes news and what does not. This is what she teaches her Journalism classes. She never ceases to encourage her students, plugging them with ideas and Flowing sentences, only to stand in the background, giving the individual student the glory of the by-line. To many, it seemed that she was predicting the end of the world daily, screaming l'Deadline is today, people! The road to Saginaw became well worn by Miss Davis as she carried the beginnings of every newspaper to the Sentinel to be printed. Somehow, With her help, the paper was always out on time. uch the same in Publications There were endless dates to be met Many Sunday It was m . . afternoons and after-school efforts were necessary to meet these deadlines, and Miss Davis was always there. When llGive My Regards to Boswell rolled around, she was the one who counted the votes for class favorites, and kept the results secret until the moment the decisions were announced the night of the show. Even though Miss Davis works behind the scenes, her accomplishments can be seen every two weeks and the day the yearbook is returned-the results of her sweat and tears, and her days of tension. Even thou h we her students will leave' her care her devotion and her expectations will 9 i , , , , continue to inspire us throughout our lives and careers. Because of the dedication of Miss - Rennetta Davis, our goals will be achieved. 16 Pioneers Go On and On

Students prepared each day for the highlight of the week, Friday night. The student council-sponsored dress-up days and a Thursday night torchlight parade were signals that the time was near. Besides these preparations, the student council also went through great extremes to decorate the cafeteria into a IVlini-disco for after the game entertainment. After the dance, students continued their evening by eating at various restaurants, proudly wearing decorated mums from Boswell High School. The annual ex- cheerleader breakfast was held in the library prior to the pep-rally, which was the first to be celebrated in the new gym. Again with their spirits, the senior class came out it 1, winning the Homecoming spirit stick.
