Because of her many different techniques which include a relaxed classroom atmosphere to work and learn in, Mrs. Martha Dunn, our Biology teacher brings a realistic enjoyment to a subject taken by many students. Her ability to answer most any question asked by any inquiring scholar with a correct answer and humorous remark makes her a popular teacher among her students. Her advice to students is: Don ' t settle for less than the best and always do the best that you can. Mrs. Dunn was bestowed her B.S. from East Tennessee State University and her M.A. from the University of Alabama in Birming- ham. The following has been said about this woman, If you don ' t know the answer to anything, go ask Mrs. Galloway and if she does not know the answer then it ' s not worth knowing anyway. And, according to her students this is usually true. Mrs. Virginia Galloway is the teacher of gen- eral science, chemistry and physics. Some of her favorite expressions are When you ' ve got a little bit, you ' ve got a lot and Keep those dimensions in! When she has free time, Mrs. Galloway enjoys playing the cello and garden- ing.

One of the quietest teachers we have at Pinson is Jim Hand, the Driv- er ' s Education teacher, A calm fig- ure, Coach Hand probably saves his energy to combat the Sophomores as they seek to learn their driving skills. Mrs. Jewell Heard is one of the first teachers with whom Freshmen come in contact. She is one of their English teachers and also teaches French I and II. Mrs. Heard is well known for her famous expressions, however, underneath her jocular exterior her care for each pupil is evident as she exerts herself to help each one achieve their fullest poten- tial. She received a B.A. from Miles College and a M.A. from the Univer- sity of Alabama in Birmingham and recently has received her A. A. from U.A.B. Aunt Linda, as she is affection- ately called by the CHIEFTAIN staff, is probably one of the most actively involved teachers at PVHS. Aside from teaching the Junior classes American History and a special course in History for advanced stu- dents, Mrs. Hill manages to be the Junior Class Sponsor and advisor to the CHIEFTAIN staff. Mrs. Linda Hill received her B.S degree in Education from Jackson- ville State University and M.A. from the University of Alabama in Bir- mingham. Mrs. Barbra Hollins will probably be best remembered for her classic Good morning class, answer pres- ent to the roll please. Her unique style of teaching Algebra and Math to her students will be remembered by all those who were in her class over the years. She achieved her B.A. at Miles College and her M.A. at Atlanta Uni- versity. Overwhelming is the word which best fits this man ' s physical stature and personality. Our Alabama and World History teacher Coach Wood- row Wilson James Jr., feels that every day should be treated as if it were the first day of your life. Well-liked by his students. Coach James often comes close to giving them writers cramp from his notes which he gives out daily. Coach James also coaches the Girls ' Basketball team. He received his B.S. from the University of Mon- tevallo in administration and a M.S. from the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Mr. Hand Mrs. Heard
