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 Miss Edwards I could now qualify for the Grand Prix,” is the way Miss Shirley Edwards of the English Department felt after driving through Europe at 100 rnph. I found it hard to keep a 55 mph speed limit after arriving home. This past summer Miss Ed- wards (shown at right) spent 37 days visiting Germany. Austria. Italy, France. Switzerland, Bel- gium, Elolland and Denmark. While there she had the chance to add to her collection of art paintings and glassware which she enjoys displaying in her home. Of all the variety of foods she was able to try. she found wien- erschmitzel to be her favorite. She was especially impressed with the architectural design and artwork in the old structures. Miss Edwards would have loved to have brought home a clay planter like the ones she saw in the Roman ruins. However, it wouldn’t fit in her suitcase which was already filled with the many books she had purchased along the way. We gain experience from many things, but none of life’s experiences are as memorable as that of visiting a foreign country for the first time as Miss Ed- wards has discovered. I.
