Dr. Henry C. Evans is director of college admissions and teacher of Western Civilizations. Even though he instructs mainly about ancient foreign cultures, he felt a need to see more of his own country. So last summer he and Mrs. Evans set out in a V.W. camper on an 8,600 mile trip to the Rockies. They crossed the Continental Divide twelve times from Colorado Springs to the Columbian Ice Fields in Alberta, Canada. From his reading and teaching he has acquired a curiosity to visit some of the places in the textbooks. He hopes his next excursion can be a cruise up the Nile River, followed by trips to Rome and Greece. g y i pAg 1 ff l gif? 22

Mr. John Gore, the only bachelor on Coastal Academy's staff, teaches English, history and art. Being senior class sponsor, he has supervised several class trips, but he found Nassau to be especially to his liking for snorkling and visiting casinos. He discovered it to be a good place to relax and forget everything. Although Mr. Gore scoots about town in his M.G. Midget in keeping with his swinging image, he turns to his bike and iogging in pursuit of physical fitness. The beach often draws him, either to sun or to paint seascapes. Science department head Mrs Gaul Palmer has been introduced to sucba diving and camping by her husband Neil. The Florida Keys offer excellent diving conditions and the Palmers return at every opportunity to explore the watery-world. Mrs. Palmer has recently completed a 1 10- hour course to become an emergency medical technician with the North Myrtle Beach Rescue Squad. As a volunteer, she often has her evening meal, night's sleep, or weekend plans interrupted by an emergency call, and fund-raising calls for cleaning 3200 pounds of fish or making 400 pounds of slaw for fish fries. 23
