The following was published in the Arkansas City Traveler, Cedar Vale Lookout, Sedan Times-Star, Winfield Courier and the Flint Hills News:
"More than 100 persons attended the 100th birthday celebration of Effie Foster held August 11, at the Dexter Life Care Parlor Room. Guests were present from Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Minnesota and Tennessee. In behalf of the family, Fletcher Foster, great nephew and General Manager of Universal South, Nashville, Tennessee, welcomed those present. He spoke of the many changes which have occurred during Effie's lifetime. Oscar Mattocks, Cedar Vale mayor, presented a plaque declaring August 11 as "Effie M. Foster Day" in recognition of her contribution to society as a teacher for 45 years in the Cedar Vale community. We all sang "Happy Birthday" and wished Effie another 100 years of happiness."

Effie Foster was one of the best teachers., and had the nose of a blood hound. No matter how you tried to hide your gum, she not only could tell who had the gum, but what brand it was. If only we had more teacher like Effie how smart our kids would be.
