Perhaps Dr. Robert Dowda, headmaster, said it best, I can't think of anything I don't like lat Pulaski Academyl. We've got a great faculty, student body and adminis- tration. I see us realizing the potential for this school.

It was found through research that teachers did more than just grade papers. I like to cook the best, revealed Mrs. Debbie Berry, history teacher. Desserts are the most fun. I also like to try new dishes. Playing Bridge was also a good way for teachers to pass the time. They played not only Bridge, but other card games such as Contract Rummy and Spades. 5 The group that I play Bridge with probably does more eating and talking than Bridge playing, said Mrs. Kathy Beaumont.

Such a costume was required for admission to the dance. stage crew. My favorite thing to do though, is to just sit and fantasize, said Mrs. Kit Faulk, art teacher. Besides backing the Bruins, Mrs. Becky Bailey, math teacher, liked to work with her hands doing craft projects. From cooking to fanta- sizing, there was still an abundance of secrets yet to be revealed about the faculty and their lives outside of school. 1 420People
