Mr. Allen explained that he tries helping his stu- dents discover their Creative talents and then allows them to apply that basic knowl- edge to new projects. Congruently, he said, I am pleased with the attitude of my stu- dents. Their wanting to have new exper- iences-the positive attitude- is what makes their projects work. As a teacher, Mr. Allen most appreciates ' the recognition and the awards (his) stu- dents have received-the recognition of the students ' quality work, he said. And as an artist-which place seemingly is not separate from his teaching- he was especially excited about projects which, until recently, he was not able to concentrate on due to involve- ment with students. Me named his most profitable experience as an artist to be an event which took place this year. ' A year ago Mr. Allen said, I was approached by Jarvis Christian College to do a one-man art Show. That gave me the incentive to com¬ plete personaI projects which I began work- ing on in front of my students, so that they were inspired. That experience has paid off. It gave me a sense of accomplishment. Eor Mr, Allen, this event began a chain of new opportunities including an invitation to Show his works at a Marjqrie Lyons exhibit. ‘Tve become very excited because I never thought about doing this much or getting this type exposure, Mr. Allen said, and again hoped that his students would be in¬ spired to explore on their own. DRAW WHAT YOU SEE Mr. Edward Allen telis his Fundamenta! Design students and stands an example in recent art shows. 164 • PERSONAL MARKS

Mrs. Webb may have been flab¬ bergasted but her students and colleagues weren t. The award, a scholarship to the Smithsonian this summer, heads a long list. In the last two years she has won two outstanding teacher awards, one from the Caddo Association of Cducation in the Senior High division, and one from the D.A.R. for American History teacher of the year. In correlation with her interest in history she has worked at Stratford Hali, R.E. Lee s horne, and at Monticello in an archealogical dig. Away from her historical re- search and teaching, she also lends herself to many school ac- tivities, the foremost being a ju¬ nior class sponsor. Removing her completely from the school atmosphere, she goes horne to spend time with her husband, Jerry Webb, and two children, Jennifer and Jar- rett. THERE SHE IS. MS. AMERICA!
