A few entries from Mother's high school memory book ('47-'48):
- It is a pleasure to write in your book. I think you are a very nice girl and a sweet one. May your life always be full of "Happiness and Joy". I loved you once, I loved you twice, If I didn't get you I know I tried. The river is wide and I can't step it. You're my Darling and I can't help it.
Love to You, Raymond Allison
- Nanetta, I'm pleased to write in your book. Remember me by this: When you get married and your husband gets cross, pick up a chair and show him who's boss. (I know who he's gonna be) Jean Venable
- Remember friend and bear in mind, A jay bird's tail sticks out behind. Grand Dad
- Dear Nanetta, Here's hoping you have all the best things in life. Be a sweet good girl. Love your ole Auntie as she loves you. Aunt Ethel
- Dear Nan: I find it hard to express my wishes for your future in fancy words, so I'll just say I wish for you the best of everything. May you set your goal high and strive to reach it. Love, Aunt Pearl
- Dearest Nanetta, It is a thrill to write in your book twice. I could never write all of how much I love you. I wish you all the happiness anyone could ever have. If I can be of any service to make it so, just call on me, and I will be around. "Love", Raymond Allison
- Dear sister, it is a pleasure to write in your book. When you get married remember me by this. When the golden sun is sinking and you're laid beneath the sod, may your name be plainly written in the autograph of God. Love, Margie !
- Dear Nanetta, It is indeed a pleasure to add my good wishes & happiness among the list. Fay Allison
- Dear Nanetta, I have known you only a short while, but I have found you to be a very sweet and likeable girl. Just stay as you are and you'll always have lots of friends. It is with pleasure I sign my name among your many friends. Love Dolores Tuclar
- Dear Nanetta, You are a lovely girl and a very good student. You are so young and you have such a bright future that after your school days you should be able to be very happy in a "dream home" all your own. Remember one word, "Others" first. Love, Edith Pool Malone
