McBride gives leofures on Arizona history Besides being a department chairman here at Corona, social studies teacher James McBride is also a leading authority on Ari- zona history. McBride has written and had published several articles concerning state history and has spoken at the Arizona Historical Society. He has also been asked to speak at several different colleges due to his background in certain areas ot the state. McBride said he first became interested in Arizona history when he was stationed at Wil- liams Air Force Base in 1967. After ending a 20 year career as a mechanic and ground crewman with the Air Force, McBride decided to return and make his home here. Deciding he wanted to be a teacher after holding a training position in the service, McBride earned a Masters degree in history. Arizona has a vitalness you don't see in many states, McBride said. VVe're still a young state. You can see the direct results of things that have happened and might still be going on. O..

McMannon crucial fc smccfh runnin office Scheduling appointments, distrib- uting keys and sorting mail are only a few of the jobs done by Mrs. Cindy McMannon, principaI's secretary. Without her, my office couldn't function, said Eldon Mailes, princi- pal. According to Mrs. McMannon, who has served as secretary to Cor- ona's principal since the school began, starting the school was a fun and challenging experience. Before the actual school opened, we worked in the ware- house. Everyday we started out with a bug sweep, Mrs. McMannon said. Mrs. McMannon said helping start the school has given her a special feeling about Corona. lt's ours. We were here even before it was a school and I think that's why it's so special to us, McMannon said. According to Mrs. McMannon, working with students is the most enjoyable part of her job. I like working with the students and try to treat them as adults, Mrs. McMannon said. Mrs. McMannon said she also enjoys needlepoint, drawing and has written two cookbooks. l've had some of my work exhib- ited at the Firebird Art Exhibit and the state fair, Mrs. McMannon said. l've sold some things and won first place at the fair for one of my draw- ings, she said.
