Everyone here performs an important duty and the cooking staff and custodians may very well be said to have the most important duties. The cooks are responsible for providing a nutritional and well-balanced meal. This isn’t easy and very seldom do they satisfy everyone. But ... The custodians are held responsible for keeping our school clean and attractive looking. They are always on the j ob striving to keep A.C.H‘S. “looking good”. These members are reliable and devoted, and they do a fine job at helping to run the school. You can bet your bottom dollar that Mr. Scott is as friendly as he looks. ne BETTER FUIURE Cafeteria Staff; Shirley Dillard, Doris Harvey, Pearl Hamilton, Ruth Trent, Marian Carter, Mrs. Trent and Mrs. Coleman are ready to serve.

For a teacher to like sports cars and drag-racing is very unusual, especially when that teacher teaches agricultural science mechanics II. James L. Burcher is your man and the only ex- planation for his hobby is “different strokes for different folks.” Bobby Waddell, co-sponsor of the FFA, is the ag. production IV and V instructor which often involves getting into coveralls and slopping around with the FFA pigs. A man of the field, stream, and fairway, Mr. Waddell enjoys hunting, fishing, and golfing. One of the many ag. teachers here is William Perrow who most enjoys teaching seniors. Mr. Perrow has been teaching ag. for 7 years. His outside activities include woodworking, in which he makes a lot of furniture. Albert Carter, whose name seems to automatically bring to mind agriculture, teaches just that along with ornamental hor- ticulture. Having been associated with ag. since high school, one could say that it is definitely his “thing”. In talking to Calhoun Moore, the new mechanics teacher, one soon finds that although teaching has not been his life-long profes- sion, he possesses a true interest in his students and considers it a challenge. Although his new job requires much of his time, fishing “is still the one” on the top of the list of hobbies. Pete Almond instructs his students in the masonry course. Very dedicated to his work, he enjoys bricklaying, especially because it involves being out in the fresh air. Whenver he has the chance, Mr. Almond likes to take his family camping and fishing. An instructor in the challenging area of distributive education, Lorraine Burgess works with the student whose interests lie in employment after high school. This is Mrs. Burgess’ first year here at ACHS. A graduate of E. Ca. University, William Rouse is the newest addition to the electronics dept. Mr. Rouse feels that the best part of teaching electronics, is seeing the expressions on the faces of his students when they discover they're learning a combination of physics, chemistry, and math. “Who’s the new teacher with the shining white teeth under that dark mustache?” Well if you haven’t heard by now, he’s Harold Brizendine. Mr. Brizendine teaches drafting I and II and sponsors the VICA club. And he doesn’t make a bad sub sandwich either! Mr. Hudson joins in on a discussion in Chemistry class. A daily inspection of brick-laying is made by Pete Almond. eS Saas ee EE erg per es 2S ER eo oe 7 pcersar
