The class of 1954 will always remember Miss Sarah C. McVay, a teacher of mathematics. Miss McVay has been with the school since it began in 1940. During the past three years she has served as our class advisor and has contributed greatly to the success of our social activities. Her devoted interest and likable personality have won a place in all our hearts. In deep appreciation the class of 1954 dedicates this book to Miss Sarah C. McVay.

W ith saddened heart and tear-dimmed eye. Now that the parting moment nears To sadly bring the curtain down On these, our happy years. Our hopes are set to reach that shore Where honor, fame, and love abide; Though storms may threat to change our course. Thy Torch will be our guide. Most Kindly God, we ask not calm, Bereft of danger, pain, or strife. We seek Thy Light to guide our ship Unto eternal life. — CAROL OLIVER ’54 c esiru§ fw, st-ae As sjass I:ts;X Se sYoo MarV |}xp s?
