In Introducing Miss Ramsey for
the citation, Mrs. Wilton Cheek,
the District Endowment Fund
Chairman related: “Her talents
are many, but we particularly en
joy her artistic creations. Not
only does she love art herself,
but she has the rare gift of in
spiring her students to share
this love and creativity with her.
“Whether there is the need for
bulletin boards or Chrismas dec
orations or banquet favors. Miss
Ramsey has brilliant and beaut
iful ideas.
“A few years ago, she volun
teered to have the very first
special class in Newton County
Thursday, March 28, 1968
for exceptional children. Even
the State Department of Educa
tion watched this project with in
terest and support. Much prog
ress was recognized. More im
portant, however, was the sense
of belonging and security she was
able to instill in those children’s
lives through field trips, spend
the-nlght parties in her home, and
projects where they could con
tribute.
“Miss Ramsey has also made
a tremendous contribution at the
First Methodist Church in Cov
ington where she was honored
three years ago on the twenty
fifth anniversary of being Finan
cial Secretary. She is commun
ity-minded and shares her talents
through the Porterdale Woman’s
Club and Pilot Club of Coving
ton. For three years, Miss Ram
sey served as program chairman
for the PTA of the Porterdale
School.”
