Another shortage

A few days before graduation day, the beautiful Miss Teresa Miller, our teacher in English, wrote in my autograph book: "Be good, but not ever so tiny.

- JULLIE Y. DAZA

So many greetings, so much good will from classmates and other teachers, but that one from Miss Miller took the cake.

Another teacher, Professor Mrs. Serrano, a few years later when I was in college, used me as her model for Juliet and Ophelia when the class was discussing Shakespeare’s greatest and most famous tragedies — just because I was the tiniest in class.
