Mrs. Marie Davis, iust married in December of 1976, finds the West a very appealing section of the country, mainly because her husband-to-be Jim was attending a national guard training school in Lawton, Oklahoma, for the six months before their marriage. However, the beauty of the land with its little mountains from which one can see for miles, the prairie dogs, and the buffalo lshe almost touched onell added to the pleasure of her visits. She also liked the beautiful lakes and the very low humidity, so unlike Myrtle Beach. When she leaves her classroom where she teaches math, science, and health to fifth and sixth graders, Mrs. Davis spends most of her time being a wife and keeping her new husband well-fed and happy.

Having lived in the metropolitan area of Washington, D.C., Mrs. Lyn- ette Harris and her husband Bob still enioy visiting their many friends who still live there. The shopping centers and many cultural events also appeal to them. Mrs. Harris espe- cially likes the Smithsonian Institute. When Mrs. Harris is not teaching fifth and sixth grade English, social studies, and reading, she fills her time teaching piano, cooking spicy Mexican dishes from her native New Mexico, or tending to her numerous plants. She admits that her patio looks like a iungle during the sum- mer when she addsl to her stock of greenery. Miss Jean Duckett, fourth grade instructor, readily admits to being an outdoors person. She loves to ride her bike on the beach at low tide and to play tennis. She climbed to the highest spot in Virginia in the Peaks of Otter last summer. When bad weather forces her to remain inside, Miss Duckett enioys reading, eating, and creating macrame wall hangings. She shares her apartment with her toy French poodle which she keeps well goomed and cared for.

Double Trouble As the population of this country grows, so does that of Coastal Academy. This year our school dou- bled its trouble by adding an addi- tional section of the first grade. Now instead of twenty-two wiggling and noisy youngsters, there are thirty- nine, all waiting on the very first day of school for those little curly things to take the form of words. Then the world of their new friends, Dan and Fran, is opened to them through reading.
