One of the pleasures of school life is a field tripfescape from the classroom and maybe some memento to bring back, such as this board of four whetstones procured from Smith's Quarry in Hot Springs. Members of the earth science class, Wanda Snow, Debbie Black, and Kim White, with teacher Mr. Ramage, make the presentation to Mr. Barrett. FFA freshmen initiation is expected to involve Work like polishing shoes, but who would have expected thisghours of scrubbing and scouring concrete at the lobby entrance where bottles of shoe polish were spilled! Work, pleasure, accomplishment go hand in hand, whether it is skillful control of a musical instrument tWanda Snow on the flutel or first place in a reading project tTim Smallwoodl. mm!!
