New Faces For the first time in several years the faculty here at Pinson Valley underwent some minor alterations and as a result, new faces abound. Early in the school year we wel- comed Mrs. Bingham, who is filling in for Mrs. Plott, who is on maternity leave. Mrs. Bingham is teaching Spanish and the Valley was for- tunate to find a replacement with much experience in the area. Mrs. Turner, also coming to the Valley early in the school year, filled in teaching math for Mrs. Elkins, who also took a brief maternity leave. In addition, we would like to welcome several other new faces to Pinson this year: Mrs. Betty Bettis, teaching English, Mrs. Barbara Quinn who teaches science, Miss Susan Spencer and Mrs. Marien Hig- ginbotham who teaches math and Mr. Gene Grimes who teaches science, Don Little who teaches science and Mary Ellen Saxon, Of- fice Aid. Pinson Valley extends a warm welcome to these new faces and wishes for a successful and reward- ing school year. Mrs. Galloway nRWER EO«c.Mio»» Mrs. Garrett 158 ., in Hoovet Coach Hand

Mrs. Hill Baby Boom Pinson Valley ' s relatively young faculty is considered to be an asset due to a variety of reasons. Some aspects to con- sider as a result of their youth, are their abilities to relate bet- ter to their students, their un- bounding enthusiasm and general good humor. However, there is still another characteristic to be con- sidered, the phenomenon of the Baby Boom. This year we would like to take time to welcome the new additions to the Elkins and Plott families. In the fall of the ' 85 school year Matthew Ryan Elkins was born. Weighing in at 7 lb. 5 oz.. Matt is the son of Mrs. Miki Elkins, a veteran teacher of math here at Pinson Valley. The second addition, Lindsey Laird Plott was happily re- ceived by the Plott family. Mrs. Gayla Plott taught Spanish. Pictured here are the happy babies, dressed up in their Christmas finery: (Left) Lind- sey Laird Plott (Right) Matthew Elkins. - ' Vn Mrs. Hollins Mr. Keith Mr. Little 160
