Julia Lappin, active with AFS, is Teacher of Year Because of her concern for students and her activ- ity in various organizations, the Highlander staff chose Mrs. Julia Lappin as the ’68-’69 Teacher of the Year. Acting as one of the co-ordinators of AFS at East, Mrs. Lappin helped on the AFS assembly program and supper, the Donkey Ball Game, and the Lollipop Campaign from which she gained her nickname “Lollipop Lappin.” Another well-remembered event — the assembly program by the Shakespearean actors, came to East because of Mrs. Lappin’s efforts. Added to her list of activities was her responsibility for preparing sen- iors for graduation ceremonies. By sponsoring a Christmas auction, Mrs. Lappin helped to get funds for the faculty lounge furniture. Outside East, Mrs. Lappin participated in church activities and devoted time to being a Sunday school teacher. Although these activities would seem to ex- haust all her time and energy, one could always find Mrs. Lappin Willing to help a student writing a speech, making a bulletin board, and finding sup- plementary materials to improve her classes. 15
