How many people can say they graduated from the same school where they started first grade? Four. Lee Tompkins, Joanna Carter, Pam Massey and Marty Hamaker will leave P.A. with some very special memories. From first grade in l97l through their senior year, they looked back and remembered the people and events that made every year individual and different. From the lower school days they still remembered a lot of funny things like Carter Brown, who in third grade always sang while he was in the bathroom. Or looking for tadpoles in the creek during recess ane throwing dead flies on the girls. Marty's nickname came from an incident with Jeremy Lowery in third grade. Marty hid in the breezeway and jumped on Lowery when he passed by. From that time on Marty was called Maddog. They also remembered Grant Fortson's collection of Frito Man erasers which he lined up on his desk. The lower school days were days of fun in an open atmosphere where it was easy to learn. l remember all the field trips, like going to the capitol and the planetarium, said Joanna. lt was so much funl Several years were dominated by construction projects. In those years IOOX People Rector Field was built. lt was a real exciting event, although we had no bleachers and our football team was just starting, said Pam. While they were in middle school the parking lot and the gym were built and bleachers were added to Rector Field. The students became more involved in extra curricular and social activities, like dances and Pep Club. A lot ofthings changed in those 12 years. The students also knew four different administrations. Lee remembered Mr. Shumate the best. Mr. Shumate was fair and could take jokes, he said. He knew everybody by name. I liked him! Some teachers also had a special influence on the four students. Pam said that she would never forget John Berryhill, from eighth grade, because he was always so nice. All four of them said they liked P.A. because of its size, the teachers, the people and the programs. But most important of all were the friends they made. That P.A. was the place to be, was confirmed by all four of them. To the question, Would you come back if you could start over again? Joanna, Pam, Lee and Marty answered unanimously, Definitely! Loyal. Pam Massey is glad that she spent l2ycars at P.A. She said that although she had plenty of opportunities to go to another school. there was just no reason to leave. 'K . Know how. l've changed a whole lot. I learned more about myself, especially about my strengths and my faults. said Marty Hamaker.

Someori to ook up to One way for seniors to escape the pressure of college applications, ACT tests, essays for John Edgell's English class or raising money for the senior trip was to spend some time in the lower school. They did so by participating in the Big Brother!Big Sister program. Seniors were introduced to their lower school classes in a school-wide assembly in the fall. From that day on, they visited their little brothers' and sisters' classrooms one day a month. Using special themes, the seniors tried to add an educational flavor to their visits. At Thanksgiving Shawn Camp, Jeanne Vogel and Edith Croux performed a little skit telling their sixth graders about the first Thanksgiving. Besides that, the Big Brothers and Sisters played lots ofgames, told stories, provided treats, laughed and had loads of fun with their classes. Organzied by their Big Brothers and Sisters Kara Seay. Graham Smith. Catherine Bellingrath, Cindy Thomas and Jason VieBrooks, Mrs. Jen Oliver's fifth grade class challenged Miss Joan Bassett's class to an exciting soccer game. I really liked it when we played outside and especially when we played soccer, said Alex Irwin. The classes enjoyed the company of their Big Brothers and Sisters and often showed their appreciation. At Christmas Katherine Ann Knapp and Marty Hamaker got bowls full of candy canes from their sixth graders. In order to spend time with their kids, the seniors had to give up a part of their off- campus lunch. But for most of them this was not much of a sacrifice. lt's worth it because the kids are so cute, said Jaime Sundell. In general, the seniors liked the program. Gary Gingrich said, I like it because I get to know lots of lower school people and they Iook up to me. lt gives the seniors more responsibilities, added Kris Whitson. That the tradition should continue seemed clear. As Graham said, l like to see the enjoyment expressed by the kids. They look forward to the program, and it's rewarding for us too. lidith Croux: I-'CA IIZIL Yflcens IIZJL Yearbook H211 AFS II2I. l'aulCrow:FCAH0-Ill:KeyCluh1Itl,Ill:lfnuth:tllI9Al2I:Baskethttlltl2I: Ilasehall II I.
