awaited the honored guest. With

escorted to the cafetorium. No
sooner than she had entered the
group sang ''Happy Birthday to
YOU. This reporter noticed with
a great deal of interest the mixed
emotions which captured this be-
loved personality. This was very
visible when she attempted to re-
Spond with ST Love You" Mr..
Rivers, who sings very well, i'm
mediately went to her rescue and
the two sang tremendously 1--WE
Love YOU" The group along with
the honored guest were seated
where a repaSt was served to the
delight of all. Mrs. Kemp assist
ed the honoree in opening the
many beautiful and useful gifts.
From all indications, these beau
tiful gifts attested to the high es-
TEEN in which this personality is
held. Mrs. Crowder stated that
this appreciation and token of
love were more deeply felt on this
occasion than at any other time
during the IL years that she has
served as principal of Bethune
Elementary School.
We salute Mrs. Spicer and the
Cafeteria staff for their fine I'M
selfish spirit. These fine coopera-
tive ladies possess those most un-
usual personalities that can make
the greatest among us feel a
sense of humility and RESPONSE
bility. They are those who can
walk with kings and queens and
not loose the common touch"
