MISS GABIE SUE CARPENTER
To her work she brings that cheerfulness that gives us courage; a sense of fair play that insures our turst in her ability to settle our difficulties; a genial and abiding sense of humor; a personality that makes its impress wherever she goes; a staunch adherence too her own high ideals that increases our faith in our own. Above all, she is gifted with the understanding of youth, so that she is not only our teacher, but our adviser and friend.
For these reasons, to Miss Gabie Sue Carpenter, as an expression of our love, we, the Class of 1929, dedicate this volume of the Old Mill.
