HONOR miss KERR
Resolutions OF Appreciation Of
Her Untiring Service AS
Instructor Drawn

The Senior class of the Third
District A. & NJ school, in finishing
its course there, has drafted resolu-
tions of appreciation of the services
of Miss Martha Katherine Kerr,
beloved instructor in that institution
for the past two years.
In the resolutions, the class men,
bers tell of her own student life at
Rawlings College, Charlottesville,
Va, from which institution she grad
uated in 1900 with the degrees of
Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts,
with q splendid college record: her
20 years of consecutive service in
several state colleges moulding youth
full lives in the highest principles of
citizenship by developing the maxi
mum in mind and character, of her
principalship for two years of the
Ashburn High school, and her COM
ing to Americus in 1917 where she
taught not only in the High school
selhshly denied herself summer va
and the A. & NJ college, but un-
cations in order that those young
people desiring added instruction in
preparation for higher college stud
les might go with the maximum of
preparedness.
Now, at the close of the senior
year at Aggie, the class wishes to
express its deep appreciation for the
untiring effort which Miss Kerr has
made in preparing the Senior class
play, dot, the Miners Daughter,
on which unlimited preparation has
been made, and which promises to be
the best class play ever presented at
the institution. Not only for her eff
forts in this, but in all that she has
meant to the class members individ-
ually and collectively, her influence
will go with them in their higher col
lege work and throughout their lives.
