Happy Birthday, Mama!


"Maude Edwards started to school in 1939 at Dickens Public School. She graduated from grade school as valedictorian in 1946. She entered high school as a shy little girl but with much coaxing she was persuaded to take part in school activities.
She lettered in basketball each year in high school. Since she is interested in homemaking, she was very good in Home Economics and received two medals for sewing and cooking. Maude was president of the Home Economic Club for two years.
She proved her ability to act by portraying "M'liss" (the lead role) in the Junior play. Maude's friendship is held in high esteem by both boys and girls in the school. To prove this she was crowned queen by the football squad in 1948. Then in 1949 she brought glory and recognition to the Senior Class by being crowned queen of the annual school carnival. She graduated from high school with the honor of being the valedictorian of her class."
Taken from THE OWLET 1950 school annual. Love you, Mama!!!
