Wilson Memorial High School - Hornets Nest Yearbook (Fishersville, VA)

Page 9 text:

The Wilson Memorial High School annual staff, voted unanimously to dedicate the yearbook to our sponsor, who started it three years ago and has faith¬ fully given her time to it since then. Under her un¬ failing guidance, the yearbook has been selfsupport¬ ing in the financial field and has contributed a great deal towards cooperation in the activities of the stu¬ dent body. The staff believing bouquets and honors should be given to the person whose untiring services on our behalf are a part of the past, the present and the fu¬ ture, does as a token of gratitude, willingly and whole¬ heartedly dedicate this edition of the Hornet ' s Nest of 1949-50 to Mrs. Mildred Sublette.
