370 Elementary Mrs. Henry: A Life of Sensitivity Here is the place and time where it all begins. Elementary is the time when playing on the playground and having bundles of fun at hop-scotch is all in the world that really matters. It is a time when girls challenge boys to hula-hoop, and boys challenge girls to kicking contests. When "going" with someone is holding hands in all-school movies, and writing their name all over your paper. It's having beauty pageants, and pretending to be some terrific movie star during recess. Practicing magnificant stunts of bravery and agility as a cheerleader, and winning races against your best friends. Special events mark certain times in our lives, and special people make us remember those times. One of the very unique people of Harding Elementary has expressed her love and concern for children through the care in which she taught her music classes over the years. Mrs. Florence Henry, known to most as just, "Mrs. Henry," has influenced over two-thousand lives in her twenty-three years at Harding in the elementary level. She held up the Christian ideals in front of the young students, telling of God's love for them, and the way that they can love Him back; of respecting their parents and elders, and most of all how they can love each other. As a Christian teacher, the responsibility lies on her shoulders to stroke and caress them into fine Christian people; people who are sensitive and trusting, possessing feelings of love and hope for the future. In every move made , whether a gentle pat on the head of a scared first grader, or by merely living what she believes in, she impresses on the minds of all around her, her tcue dedication to the Lord and His work. As a simple token of gratitude, We have only to return to others our possession of the love shown to us by her full, and extremely meaningful life.
