    The Class of 1962 extend our deepest sympathy to the family. Our class Dedicated its 1962 Centurion Yearbook to her. The inscription read “Because of your understanding, charity, patience, valuable instruction, and constructive criticism, which we needed very much, we the senior class of 1962 respectfully dedicate this yearbook to you, our sponsor, Mrs. White” She was a beautiful lady, inside and out. She attended our 50th Class Reunion last Summer at Lake Stone and added a spark that day that we all will not forget… By Class President for the Class of 1962
