I Among the teachers at Woodlawn, we have found sympathetic friends who will listen to us and absorb themselves with our problems. They have been pa¬ tient to explain again and again anything that we did not readily understand. They have exhibited a sense of humor, enthusiasm, character and a deep love for their work and their students. And we discovered that teachers are not confined to classrooms. We learned by experience that they can be an interesting conversationalist while serving as a class sponsor, dance chaperone or a field-trip guide. Mary Lynn Odum HERALD EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Alton McKnight SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT Teachers putting their hearts and minds into their work, give encouragement and inspiration as they stand daily before us—their pupils. It is their task to set our standards and objectives. It is their un¬ ending duty to guide the destiny of those who sit in their classrooms. We will remember our teachers, for they have done these things and more. 12
