We deeply appreciate your allowing us to interrupt classes, snap pictures, flash bulbs, and ask questions. An extra special thanks to Marsha Sease for helping us with the art work. We have worked hard to record the happenings at Andrew Jackson Academy during the past year, and we hope this annual will serve well in the years to come as a reminder of the good times we have had here with our friends. Thanks for your help and support. Linda, Wanda, Jo Ann, Tammy, Bobbie and Gina, Editor's Thanks Being able to work and create an annual that you will always remember has been a fascinating experience for me. We had a remarkable and ideal staff to help make this possible. The ' '79 annual has been an exhilarating challenge for all of us, It has had its difficult and pleasing times, but we think it was worth it. Not just for ourselves but for all of Andrew Jackson to look at, enjoy, and remember the Last of the 70's, we have worked. Thank you for all of the things you have done for us — your help, opinions and most of all your support. Thank you, Donna 114 AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS josravs msmqm y R13QOC com ny 9 ii’W’
