Teacher Feature Mr. Collins You may be one of the many that think Mr. Collins (shown at right) is only a school teacher. In reality he also has a farm and hunts. On his 300 acre farm he grows tobacco and corn, along with raising cattle. His help comes from his own family con- sisting of his wife, one son and six daughters. Together they put up approximately 5.000 lbs. of to- bacco. When it comes to hunting, it's not deer he’s after, it’s ginseng. One might ask. What in the world is ginseng?” Believe it or not ginseng is a herb that has a long fleshy root used as medi- cine. It has 3 leaves, each con- sisting of 5 leaflets. It is identi- fied by its greenish yellow flower on top which sometimes pro- duces scarlet berries. The name of this plant comes from Chinese words meaning likeness of a man because of the shape of its root. Those shaped like a human body are most valuable. Ginseng is found in such isolated places as the mountains, and the only part of the herb that is kept is the root. It is then dried and sold for $8.00 an ounce. Mr. Collins is able to find about a couple pounds a year. He has been farming for TO years and teaching for 11 years. As anyone can see. he’s doing a great job in both fields. r:i I.

Teacher Feature Mrs. Hudson Mrs. Hudson, a science and Spanish teacher, has nothing less than a wonderful and exciting life that has turned out to be very rewarding. She is the proud mother of 6 children and has been teaching at Conner for 12 years. Mrs. Hudson (shown at left) got her start collecting shells through assisting Mr. Norman in a Biology class. From that point on, she states that she became utterly enthused with them and has been looking for special ones ever since. She has even gone so far as to go snorkling near Mexico off an island called Cosmel. She informed us that shell smuggling has become common in smaller countries because it is a big market and a quick profit. While in Mexico, after experiencing walking 300 steps up a pyramid, she remarked that it was enchanting to go back to Mexico. It was just like ancient times.” She plans to take one of her classes this year again to Mexico. During one recent visit she witnessed a wedding where the groom was thrown into a swimming pool, and she was given a package of fudge after the wedding meal that was made with goat's milk. Mrs. Hudson was curiously asked the question as to whether she was able to talk with the Mexicans with success. She laughingly states. I converse very slowly and hope they will do likewise.” Faculty ■ '3
