GG loha Colonelw December 31, 1980 marked a milestone in the history of The Donoho School. After fourteen years as a member of the faculty and administration of the school, Colonel James O. Quimby retired for the second time. After retiring from the U.S. Army in 1962, Colonel Quimby began his second career as a math teacher at the then Anniston Academy. ln 1971 he was appointed principal of the Donoho Upper School. During Colonel Quimby's fourteen years at the school, he saw many changes. The name changed from The Anniston Academy to The Donoho School, the administrative head changed three times. and this year he saw the addition of Lower and Middle Schools. Colonel Quimby was a favorite among students. He had the abili- ty to fill boring Monday mornings with laughter as he lectured on nutrition and the importance of picking up cheese curls, red hots, and pop tops off the carpet. Any time a problem arose whether it was administrative or maintenance, Colonel Quimby was always around to find a solution. The Hbig little man as he was called by many, will be missed by all. Although everyone hated to see him leave, his retirement was much deserved. The student body and faculty joined together in wishing Colonel much happiness in his 'anew life. Colonel and Mrs. Quimby will definitely find much pleasure when they settle into their new condominium in Honolulu, Hawaii.

WFollow the Leadersw The addition of the Middle and Lower Schools brought about many new changes during the 1980-1981 year. As usual Mr. William H. 5'Burt', Fargason, our president, welcomed new students with his usual tactics of scaring those who wear the wrong color jeans or don't uphold the standards of this fine institution. After the retiring of Colonel Quimby in December, positions shifted and Mr. Corey became principal of the Upper School. Meanwhile Mrs. Louise Marbut became the principal of the Mid- dle School and Mr. Roger Borchard retained his position as the principal of the Lower School. Mrs. June Madison, our school secretary for seventeen years, resigned and was replaced by Mrs. Sally Barnes. Mrs. Ruth Yarborough and Mrs. Susan Poe were added to our administrative staff as Middle and Lower School secretaries respectively. Mrs. Kay Parker kept the financial books while Mrs. Mary ,lane Smith kept the library books. Mr. Arthur Cheatham and Mr. George Cheatham., our custodians rendered their services by keeping the rooms and halls cleaned. On many nights while doing their jobs, they had the company of a roving security guard.
