Augusta Christian School - Sword Yearbook (Martinez, GA)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1977 volume:

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to tear down, and a time to build 4 5 For eight years students of Augusta Christian have learned to love “critters” because of one special teacher. When asked what she thought was the reason for the interest which the students show in animals, she replied, “I love critters. I guess that’s why the children do.” Some have been heard to say, “She was born to be a teacher.” Another remarked that “Hers is the only room in which the children learn by osmosis.” What ever her secret of success we praise the Lord for blessing all of us with her presence in our school. The third grade is a time which is looked forward to for two years and then looked back upon for many years afterward as a very special time. It is not the room, or the animals that are remembered, but the teacher, for she is one who expects and receives much from her students. And so our first Elementary Staff Dedication is made to Mrs. Lucy Cooper. 6 In the dedication of the 1976-77 high school section of the SWORD, we go once again to one of our faculty members. This woman has been teaching at Augusta Christian for four years, and has gained love and respect from students as well as the other faculty members. She is a firm believer in quality education and puts forth a very successful effort in teaching eighth and eleventh grades American History, and the ninth grade Civics class. Aside from this, she is also a very fluent French teacher. Without her we may not have ever known why this is a great country in which to live, or why, even we as students, also play a role in government and society today. When we go out into the world on our own, in just a few years, we know she will be praying for us always. We the students, staff, faculty, parents and Board of Directors dedicate our 1976-77 SWORD to Mrs. Ruth M. Lewis. 7 Headmaster Is there hope for the American system of education? Can the lack of discipline, poor methods, and weak standards produce the quality of educa- tion that parents desire for their children? Children who need to be taught academic skills, patriotism and hard work are growing up in an educational system which says that the whole of education is “life adjustment”. God has raised up Augusta Christian School and other Christian schools through-out this great country of ours. Many factors have affected the growth of these schools: poor academics, drugs, busing, the taking of prayer out of the public school, lax morals, and no discipline. However, the underlying basis for the Christian school is not found in these weaknesses but based on the Bible — the absolute Truth. We need your prayers, support and encouragement. Without Jesus Christ and you dear parents, our school would not be where it is today. In Christ, Richard A. Machovec Headmaster 8 Vice-Principal, Elementary The Lord has blessed our Kindergarten program until our “cup runneth over”. Our Kindergarten classes for 3 and 4 year olds are in the new Wee Care building. Kindergarten 5 and grades one thru five in the elementary building with the sixth grade in the high school building. Each day is begun with a Bible story and verses, choruses and hymns following the Bible theme. Kindergartners learn a verse for each letter of the alphabet. Each grade has various passages for monthly learning. These verses are ones that can prove meaningful in daily living. We encourage our students to achieve to their potential by following a structured academic curriculum. This gives opportunity for in-depth drill in the basic areas of reading, writing and arithmetic. Surely God provided us a real opportunity to serve Him by leading these students in their search for knowledge. Praise His Name! Glenda McMahan Vice Principal Board of Directors FRONT ROW: Mr. W.
