Recognition We, the class of 1982, recognize what an important role you, our housemothers, play here at WHSN. Your cheery smiles welcomed us at the desk so many times. We ' ve joked and laughed with you and for these times we are truly grate- ful. Then there were the times when nobody else would listen and you were there to care, listen patiently and lovingly of- fer us a bit of hope. We always felt relieved after sharing our burdens with you and shedding some tears. On the other hand, when you were feeling down — these times were rather rare — we felt honored to share your griefs and pains. Remember all the secrets we shared? Remember the times we were so happy and excited that it took us an hour to change our pegs because we were so busy telling you the latest news? Remember the times we couldn ' t stand to study one more minute and we would invariably show up at the desk for a chat? We will remember those moments because it is partially these close relationships that made the struggle bearable and worthwhile. It takes a special, talented person to be a mother-away-from-home, but if we were asked to make a list of capable can- didates, five names would appear at the top of our list: Mrs. C., ' 1 Mrs. B., Minnie , Judy, and Helen. We wish to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done and for just being you. We will miss you. i3Saft» Lb -
