DEDICATION Mrs. Sara Squier has been dedicated to Whitesville and its surrounding area for many years. Although she participates in the activities around Ulysses and Greenwood, she is recognized for being an ever-present, enthusiastic sport” at Whitesville as well. We often spot her cheering wholeheartedly from the stands during a basketball game, tooting her trombone enthusiastically in the band, or sitting in her office patiently wiping tears from an upset student's face in her usually consoling manner. We remember Mrs. Squier as the talented music teacher way back when , but we will recall more often her years as a guidance counselor. Her guidance ranged from assisting us in making necessary and helpful choices with our schedules to settling our fights with our best friends. Whatever the problem, she devoted all her time and attention talking the matter out with us until we were satisfied in seeing our individual needs met. No problem was too small or seemed unimportant to her. Whether dealing with a routine task or finding herself in the middle of a student's crisis , Mrs. Squier has always managed to remain calm and dealt with the situation with humor and, if necessary, a friendly rebuke. We have found that this physically small person is a real ,dynamo who can get immediate and sat- isfactory results from the most stubborn or elusive college official. Her guidance has extended itself to us in many less tangible but more important ways. By listening to our views and understanding our feelings, she has instilled confidence within us and helped us grow as individ- uals by encouraging us to consider the viewpoints of others. Mrs. Squier is what we consider a well-rounded person: unselfish, truthful, impartial, fun and caring. Her availability and her friendly vitality are an important memory of Whitesville Central that we'll always carry with us. With great appreciation and affection, the Class of 2981 dedicates this yearbook to Mrs. Sara Squier. 2
