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
