Excerpts from my world issues Women's/Studies Class -

*Each of us is merely a small instrument; all of us, after

accomplishing our mission, will disappear... Mother

Teresa.

*If we are to achieve a richer culture - one rich in

contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of

human potentialities.... Margaret Mead.

*It's not bravery. It's a question of doing what you have to

do. You can go ahead with what you're doing or you can

run away...Daw Aung San Suuky.

*Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it might be a

diamond in the rough...Mary McLeod Bethune.

*The time is at hand when the voices of the feminine

mystique can no longer drown out the inner voice that is

driving women on to be become complete.... Betty Friedan.

May we leave our mark of humanity and excellence in

all that we pursue in this planet. May we all find

inner peace.....

Mae Soderquist Bell

 

I hope that the last 20 years for all of my '79 classmates has been as fulfilling and rewarding for them as they have been for me. Through life's many ups and downs (which I have had many), I had the opportunity to grow and really find out who I am and what I am capable of doing. I would not trade those experiences for anything. Just like I would not trade any of our high school experiences. It’s all a part of  who we are. Best of luck to you all with the next 20 years!

Judy Temple Anderson

When my mother passed away suddenly in August of'78, it was difficult to come back. Thanks to everyone who helped, me have a great senior year.
