Busdrivers—Lawrence Wienges, Dargan Etheridge, and Jake Summers—do an excellent job of transporting students to and from school. Working many hard hours, custodian Rol ert Jamison makes sure our school is in top-notch shape. People Generation (lap? Calhoun Academy offers an extensive link among teachers, students, parents, and directors. A connect- ing chain of common concern rivets people and their opin- ions. Long hours of tedious toil have been shared by young and old alike. Learning to live together is one of the most solid, authentic attributes of our school. Bogged down in the malignant depths of academics, how- ever, some students seem to find Calhoun Academy’s chal- lenge more than they can handle. Day after day, to them life does no more than present a harder algebra problem, another history test, or that impossible science exam. For some, report cards carry an ominous cloud of disappoint- ment. “I don’t understand; I hate this place!” Such are the feelings of a few, not many, but enough to influence others. Youth- timepieces of perplexity are searching. Where are the an- swers? Are they found only in time’s book of knowledge? Calhoun Academy still stands for some to merely accept, others to despise, but more than these, for most to admire with a living sense of responsibility and sincere appreciation. 26

Administration Leads School to Prosperity Winston Churchill, Alexander the Great, Napoleon—our Board of Trustees can readily be compared to these ener- getic, perceptive men. Building a school takes never-ending patience, prudence, and the helping hands of everyone. Our directors have made a dream a reality; in January, Calhoun Academy was a mere sheet of paper; in August, not just a building, but people working together. Another helping hand under our roof was Mrs. Shirley Cul- elasure. Filing, typing, keeping records, trying to track down us crazy kids—all these tasks occupied her day and made her a popular personality in our school. Always busy at something, Mr. Gregorie Calhoun added to the liveliment of each school day. His job began long before September the eighth, with painting, mopping, l ook- keeping—you name it! Although his duties were innumer- able, they were performed with excellence. Algebra, physics, and college analysis seemed to be his thing” and took three periods of his day. Mr. Calhoun also shared the sweat, scrapes, and aching bones of the soccer team as their coach. Better known as Gregg, our Headmaster was the nucleus of leadership at Calhoun Academy. Mrs. Culdasure and her trusty copying machine spent manv trying hours together. Headmaster Gregorie Calhoun demonstrates his artistic talent while paint- ing the library.
