Life is beautiful when it offers challenge beyond our grasp, while providing the support of good books, good friends, loved ones, and God. -Judith K. Corbin Born and raised in Maine, she graduated from Maine Central Institute. She received her B.A. at Eastern Nazarene College, Mass. She attended U.C.S.D. and San Diego State. She taught at the Polytechnic School in Pasadena before coming to Parker in 1973. After playing uhard-to-get for quite a while, she Hnally came to her senses and married Robert Mark Corbin on April 30, 1971. Six years later, on Thanksgiving, their son Robbie, a five pound, seven ounce ulittle turkey was born. He has since become the idol of the senior class, and is always affectionately known as lIThe Kid. When asked her feelings about the Class of '79, she is sure to say that she will miss them after they graduate because she has grown very close to them during her years at Parker. When the senior class is asked about their feelings toward Mrs. Corbin, they are certain to say that she has been one of the outstanding inliuences and inspirations in their lives. She has become a good friend to all of them, and has helped many with problems in and out of school. However, what most endears her to all of them is her love of humanity, her enthusiasm in the classroom, her stories about IIThe Kid, and of course, her famous UA-ha! A-ha! It is with great pride and a twinge of sadness in leaving, that we dedicate this CAVALCADE 1979 to our beloved Mrs. Corbin. Clockwise from top left: Senior portrait, a pretty babyl, Corbie and 'tThe Kid, as always, smiling in the classroom, her wedding day.
