Class Lauds
Mrs. Evans
How would you like to be a mother, teacher, confidante, advisor, and nursemaid to 200 or more Senior Ayes, twice a year? This is the job so willingly and ably filled by Mrs. Edna Evans, who has been all these things and more to 210 high-spirited Alohans this past term.
Legendary Figure
Mrs. Evans, who is fast becoming an almost legendary figure in North Hollywood's annals, has taught Senior problems for over eight years. She not only has her class routine down to an exact science, but she has developed an extensive knowledge and understanding of the workings of a 17-year-old mind. Mrs. Evans has four children of her own, and her frank class-room discussions of family and social problems have helped many a Senior Aye to make better adjustments to his surroundings and to lead a happier life.
Administrative Job Hard
Besides dealing with numerous personal difficulties. Mrs. Evans supervises the many activities planned and carried out by the Senior Aye class. It is a well-known fact that one's senior year-while usually the most difficult-is also full of fun and extra-curricular outings.
During the course of a semester. Mrs. Evans comes into personal contact with almost every graduate. She works hand in hand with the council, and long lines of applicants on registration day bear witness to the fact that her classes are always crowded. She takes a personal interest in her students, and many of them find it hard to leave such a truly wonderful friend.
It's Sad Saying Goodbye
In saying goodbye, one senior expressed the views of many of the Alohans when he said, "She makes a classroom seem like home, and the world seem like a friendly place in which to live . . .I never knew anyone who didn't like Mrs. Evans, and if I had. I'd have been sure I was dreaming."
SENIOR BEE SONG.
Tune of "Once In a While"
Once in a while, after your graduation
has passed away,
Will you recall your term in Senior
Aye?
Will you look back on those days filled
with fun-Ioving gaiety,
Friends that you used to know in Sen-
ior Bee?
These three years have gone flying;
We'll miss having you here.
Our best wishes go with you;
In memories you'll seem near.
And so we bid, to you graduates,
Though we may drift apart,
Still keep your thoughts of us locked in your heart.
Words by Sheila Fox
