And of a life that’s lots of fun! 5 We’d like to translate our song into a thousand songs that themselves would increase and become a joyous new tongue, a soul expression and cheerful voice for mankind to hear, to feel, to speak, to share, and by which the whole world could become a new living miracle and the celebration of it. We’d like to share with it . . . and keep it company And wed like to . . . And to hove fun, to enjoy our great outdoors, its full days, and to fill them ourselves, with satis- faction . . . And we say to every- one, Leave TV and other gim- micks behind, join the beauty and inherent value of our wonderful outdoors and all its offerings . . . Know the feel of deeply-breathed fresh air . . . Walk with us, jog with us, ride with us, and sing with us! . . . Pleasures await one at every turn, and at any time of year, and as we share them, the desire deep down within us is to create a new psalm of hooe, joy and thanksgiving for all who love to celebrate life... life. 8 We’d like to see all the world walk hand in hand.......... ... I give you my hand! I give you my love more precise than money .... myself before preaching or law ... Will you give me yourself? Will you come travel with me? — Walt Whitman And hear echoing through the hills a song of peace ana love for every man 11 Student Life f Homecoming midst tall stand- ards of autumns beautiful chry- santhemums started the list of Student Council activities on a thrilling note. And who else but the Student Council prexy, Chris Leibrock, became Homecoming queen. Then came the highly successful White Christmas project, when DHSers shared “the good Christmas with many needy families. The council began trying to find another exchange school, remem- bering the benefits of the Kiel exchange. Members enjoyed putting together a float, too, for the Livestock Show parade. And there was the Stuttgart exchange assembly — and many other ac- tivities which keep us involved, busy. COUNCIL OFFICERS this year are just about DHS’ busiest people. From the left: V. 0.

Next left photo shows thrilled SC prexy greeting former Razorback Bill Bur- nett. The other pictures depict sophomores decor- ating school for Christmas season. Homecoming . . . a vivid world of splendor Tingling excitement and re- gal magnificence — they were ingredients for a mem- orable Homecoming in Drag- on land Friday, Oct. IB. Alumni and parents and friends of queen candidates were there along with DHS- ers, and at 2:30 p.m. candi- dates and escorts marched to the stage and soon Prin. Harold Hudson was crowning Chris Leibrock queen (at right) and Asst. Prin. Earl Kirtlev was presenting flowers to Maid-of-Honor Joyce Vansandt (in photos below.)

The boys, of course, made up the royalty and the cheerlines, and volunteer girl players battled it out with the Senior-Freshman “Wortham's Wonders” team winning 8-0. Margaret Anderson, senior, did the scoring. New feature this year was a all-boy “girl” band that got as much attention as the players and royalty. THESE DARLINGS, “Maid of Honor” Tommy Smith and “Queen” Billy Freeman reigned over the fun event. Powderpuff game among year’s big moments POWDERPUFF ROYALTY, a bunch of shaggy-headed “make-believe girls, included, I. to r., Allen Mooney, Tommy Jacobs, Maid of Honor Tommy Smith, Queen Billy Freeman, Wade Currie, Steve Vos, Eddie Carter and David McMaster.

Sammy had such a good time, he hopes to be in sport competition in the Olympics again this year. Local Coach Don Johnston congratulates him. 33 MAKING AMERICAN WHO’S WHO among high school seniors this year are Mitch” AufderHeide, left, seated, Jane Luckie, Carroll Eason, and standing, Tommy Jacobs, Needra Elrod, Mike Tiefenback, Chris Leibrock and Gary Sherwood.

Miller, vice president, and Joyce Vansandt, president 37 38 Beta signifies achievement Following the motto, “Let us lead by serving others ' Beta Club members stress character, good mentality and a commendable attitude toward oth- ers. They sponsor worthy projects throughout the year, chief of which is annual Career Night especially for juniors and seniors who arc looking ahead to college and careers. THIS YEAR’S Beta officers have been Tommy Jacobs, president; Gary Sherwood, vice president; Nancy Kestner, secretary, and Elaine DuMond, treasurer (pictured above). At left the “elderly lady being assisted on stage by Mitch AufderHeide during Beta initiation ceremonies is none other than sponsor Gerald Whitcomb, science teacher, man of many talents who makes a good actor, too. WHEEL OF CHAR- ACTER is central attraction In Beta's initiation of new members. Future Teachers’ change name— Now it’s United Students Association Maybe it is United Students Association — but most of them still tbink of their organization as Future Teachers of America, anyway, because that, after all, is their goal. Their organization affords students the chance to look into the teaching pro- fession, to learn about the opportunities and responsibilities associated with teaching and to cultivate qualities that make a good teacher. UNITED STUDENTS Association’s 1972-1973 officers have been, from left to right, Sandra Vanderford, parlia- mentarian; Patti Woods, president; Patti Thigpen, secretary; Donna Sanders, treasurer, and Melinda Lawson, vice president. School is big business bv anyone’s scale, and it is an industry which affects both present and future facets of life not only in the local community, but in the state and nation as DeWitt prod- ucts move out from local schools into the world. So the superintendent’s task is a tremendous one. Mr. East not only works very hard to maintain excellence in De- Witt’s system but wants to see local educational pro- grams advance toward new goals and a new day. The system has progressed well under his guidance. A re- cent pride and joy has been bringing the Middle School into the North Central As- sociation fold. SUPT. DAVID EAST Superintendent aspires to higher goals in DeWitt school system's progress SUPT. EAST likes to hunt, and once in a while he is able to get out from under office pressures for a little while at a time to scan the skies for some ducks, or the woods for a deer. ■4 1 40 Administration FAITHFUL TO the administrative tasks of this big school district are our school board members who voluntarily spend many hours and days during a year's time to keep the system operating efficiently and in seeking out ways to continue to better its growth as a commendable educational institution. Here they are at a recent board meeting — Dr. John Hestir; Ed Coit, vice pres.; Stewart Jessup, pres.; Webster Hillman, sec; Calvin AufderHeide, and Supt. David East. Board strives to meet educational challenges AT LEFT is Joe F. Chambers, the school's special assistant in charge of the Title I program. He serves and aids many students and makes attending school easier for them. A principal's job is an around-the-clock one, facets of which reach out like an octopus with sometimes all its arms calling for some- thing at the same time. And as a rule it is a thankless job. But Mr. Hudson is dedicated to his task. Ilis main interest is the educa- tional enrichment of every student here, and at the same time, he works with the faculty to try to estab- lish an atmosphere where students will enjoy learn- ing. I Ie maintains that happy medium and the re- spect of all. PR1N. HAROLD HUDSON Principal sees that school maintains fine image MR. HUDSON doesn’t have much time for relaxation, because the many ball games and other night activities at school require his con- stant attention. But the family dog Rusty makes the most of the time he can give him attention at home. 42 ASST. PRIN . EARL KIRTLEY MR. KIRTLEY should lose weight the way he gets around DHS. He works with both the principal and the counselor, helps to main- tain a happy medium throughout DHS and talks things over with students needing assistance. Assistant principal, Counselor, guide students with concern, understanding interest KINDNESS, PA- TIENCE and a real desire to be helpful describe DHS' busy counselor, Mrs. Margaret Anderson. Stu- dents find answers to many of their problems in her of- fice. She also is a great assistance in helping the unde- cided to determine “which way to go after graduation — whether to college — and sometimes which college — or into vocational training in fields students may be interested. The goal in all her counseling is a happy, profitable, stable life. 43 School can’t run without efficient office personnel A very vital part of the wheel is a school’s office personnel. Practically every program is touched in some way by the duties of good secretaries, bookkeepers, record keepers, recep- tionists, and these same persons stop many times during the day to ac- commodate teachers and students in need of various types of assistance. Our schools’ efficient operations de- pend greatly upon their work. DEWITT HIGH’S secretaries. Mrs. Louise Mannis and Mrs. Marjorie Hornbeck tick like clock work in keeping files, records and daily routine run- ning smoothly and efficiently. SCHOOL SYSTEM’S bookkeeper, Mrs. Rose Ellen George has a big job. because DeWitt schools are big business requiring utmost com- petency. RECEPTIONIST MRS. Shirley Dil- lion has an ever-ready smile for every office visitor, makes them feel comfortable and helps many a telephone inquirer, as well. MRS. MONA Hagan efficiently handles records, correspondence and other matters coming before the Title I office. 44 Nurse, dietitian provide schools vital services YUM, YUM — When those hot rolls can be smelled cooking in the lunchroom, and on days when rice dressing is served, the school’s dietitian, Mrs. Gwen Alter, is really appre- ciated. Hers is a big task, keeping nutritional menus, food balance within the bud- get and trying to please those who lunch at school. She’s been at the job a long time and really knows her busi- ness. Every school has special services that are often taken for granted — but which are most vital to the health and well being of all con- cerned. One such service is that of the schools health coordinator who has a lot of tracking to jdo between all of the schools. The other is the dietitian who has a tough and constant job of pre- paring menus, keeping up with food purchases, costs, bill-paying, and the like. What would we do without these services? Well, we couldn’t! NURSE MRS. Aileen Shep- herd explains record chart to Michael Butcher. She talks with many students and par- ents throughout the school year with regard to health needs and inquiries. 45 Candid camera catches teachers, other personnel HOME EC TEACHER Mrs. Doris Goodwin finds few moments to re- lax and sip coffee in teachers’ lounge. JUST ONE jerk would mean a cloudburst. Kids have tried all year to get science teacher Gerald Whitcomb to pull that ring TAKING QUICK glance at morning paper before going to classes are Co-op Ed instructor David Magness, math teacher Joe Shackelford and work- study program instructor Don Johnson. WATCHING OUT of cor- ner of his eyes — he never misses anything — is Prin. Harold Hudson JACK OF ALL trades is Asst. Prin. Earl Kirtley, seen here fixing hall clock COACH KEN New- som speaks at good- will exchange as- sembly MRS. ELLEN WEST, librarian, often seen at shelves looking up special book someone desires CHATTING IN HALL before school are senior English teacher Mrs. Johnnie Leibrock and Counselor Mrs. Margaret Anderson BAND DIR. John Prothro finds moment to go over some music himself before morning bell rings. SCIENCE TEACHER, Sophomore sponsor Mrs. Linda Lepine opens box of surprise roses from class. Informal moments usually find them more relaxed MISS BOBBIE Burton, business ed teacher, finds school patrol’s in- spection ticket on her car wind- shield. MRS. PAT BOSMA, business ed teacher, gives Mrs. Nancy Lott some knitting hints during their off-period in teachers lounge. NOTHING LIKE a cup of coffee or a cold drink to pep one up in the middle of a long, long day. Here Mrs. Jane Davis and Mrs. Carolyn Turner, English teachers, enjoy few moments in lounge. FAMILY LIVING teacher Miss Sally Jeffries divides her time with high school and the junior high. 49 Camera lens records faculty on, off duty WE REALLY think these people are the teachers’ lounge officers. They keep it In a cheerful mood, anyway: Math teacher Mrs. Johnette Parham, English teacher Mrs. Johnny Leibrock, science teacher Sterling Love and basketball coach Tom Davis. NOW THIS is sculpture. Art teacher Marshall Gravette admires work of student Mitch Aufder- Heide. MRS. BOBBIE Bennett, in social studies department, checks over lesson. AGRI TEACHER Wallace Wortham has lots of machinery around the shop, and he kinda likes to try it out. 50 DAVID MAGNESS, co-op ed in- structor, is also teachers’ lounge business manager. DRIVER ED Instructor Homer Horton is often seen showing teenagers the art of driving a car. CHORAL DIRECTOR Charles Parham perhaps looking over a it bright new song. SPECIAL ED teacher Don Johnson must have felt need to read happy-faced sign. HEAD FOOTBALL Coach Sam Cook talks sportsmanship at ex- change assembly. SOCIAL STUDIES teacher Tommy Griffith finds ways of encouraging students to read good books. HEALTH NURSES catch Coach Tom Davis at needle-pricking health test time. 51 Library — busy workshop for sought-after knowledge That big storehouse of knowledge, the school’s educational services center which we commonly call the library is far more than a reference service. Books to meet every type readers needs are there, as are films, tapes and records, magazines and newspapers. And when former Presidents Truman and John- son died many went to the library to watch the various memorial services for them and to share special moments of the nation’s his- tory. PARTITIONED TABLES are helpful in students' private study. mm LIBRARIAN MRS. Ellen West explains card filing system to student Librarian Mable Lene King. 52 REAL HELPERS are these Library Club officers. Elaine Dumond Ieft, is president; D'Anne Derrick, vice pres.; 1’Lisa Vansandt, sec.; Bobby Edmondson treas., and Marsha Wood, reporter. STUDENT LIBRARIAN assists another student in choice of book. Library Club members valuable aides to center Library Club members do lots of chores around the library during their non-study periods, and are much help to the librarian, Mrs. West, who is also club sponsor. They grow in leadership and re- sponsibility through their pro- grams and projects, among which is the annual Book Fair, and take active interest in regional and state student librarians’ affairs. 53 MRS. TURNER'S bulletin board hints that peo- ple, especially teen people, need to read more. Communication relies on language study Language, especially English, lights a candle that teaches people they need not curse the darkness. DHSers strive for a workable knowledge of their native tongue, which they realize they will need more than ever in today’s and tomorrow’s world. College-bound youths who master high school grammar and literature will find English study easier as they go into higher education. PERHAPS Carroll wants to become an English teacher. 54 LOOKING FOR flight, or some- thing or other to come in are French Club offi- cers, to r, Lou Ann Burnett, pres.; Mike Tief- enback, v. pres.; Clara Perry, sec.. and Timmy Green treas. Modern lab makes French study interesting French room’s modern language lab helps students move much faster in study of the language, and the French way of life is brought closer through films, taped recording, magazines and other interesting materials the course provides. French Club helps the group to further explore the French life and customs. NOW, WHEN you go to Paris, you’ll have a better time if you can speak the language. 55 DRAMATIC CLUB’S officers have been, I to r, Jane Luckie, treas.; Scottie Ricketts, sec.; Cathy Green, vice pres.; Danny Howe, parlia- mentarian, and D'- Anne Derrick, pres. Club adds stimulus to drama, speech classes “A cue in time saves nine, drama and speech students well know. Memorizing play parts and learning to speak isn't always easy, but it teaches poise, helps one lose cold feet” when one gets up in front of an audi- ence and helps one learn how to effectively make use of language. SCENE OF play drama students enacted during DHS Christmas program. 56 TILE MAKING ex- plained by art teacher Marshall Gravette, is fasci- nating to Diane Franks and Valerie Inman. SCULPTURE BEGINS with an idea, too, and students have learned new creativeness through their efforts. Visual perception broadened by art study DeVVitt High has one of the finest art programs in Arkansas and is turning out many talented young artists and craftsmen who discovered their abilities right in art classes. The thrill of cre- ativeness on their own — their own expressionism — is an im- pressive story all its own. And the program continues to ad- vance. 57 MRS. LOTT makes study a bit easier for student in business math Future scientists, businessmen intrigued by math problem Math and Science plot the dis- covered as well as search out the un- explained, and the closely-related subjects always provide a challenge to probing young minds. The sub- jects cover limitless territory and thinking students realize the all- importance of a knowledge of math and science in almost every facet of life. DHS offers an excel- lent basic program to prepare young people not only for deeper mind- probing in this space age, but for practical everyday living. MR. SHACKELFORD stands by to assist Kay Freeman with problem if she needs assistance. 58 Ageless values of science, math play more vital role today than ever MR. LOVE aids students with ex- periment. STUDENTS OBSERVE work closely as Mrs. Lepine explains a for- mula. 59 Every year is a busy one for home ec students, and this one has been no ex- ception. Learning to make one’s own clothes out of today’s beautiful materi- als is exciting. So are practicing the culinary arts, home planning, buying and decorating and learning about family living. These and many more skills and crafts are acquired in this fine program which will benefit those who take it all their lives. MRS. GOODWIN and Vickie Ruffin talk over Federation meeting plans. Home economics expands coeds’ horizons LEARNING TO properly wash clothes is important part of home- making learning. The how-to” of other household tasks help them to become skilled, also. 60 FUTURE HOME- MAKER officers this year have been, I to r, Robin Patil- lo, 3rd v.p.; Rhon- da MeGraw, 2nd v.p.; Kim Boyd, 1st v.p.; Vickie Ruffin, pres, who accepts gavel from former pres. Cathy Ruf- fin; Dana Porter, sec.; Brenda Revils, treas.; Annette Coit, historian, and Patti Thigpen, re- porter. Future Flomemakers gain from group projects Future Homemakers pave the way for stronger homes as through their programs they prepare themselves for roles of feminine leadership and usefulness in com- munity life. They conduct worthwhile projects, and one of their happy moments of the year was their visit to the Nursing I Iome, where they found their kindness was repaid a thousandfold. FHA MEMBERS are always busy, and bulletin board at left has required talent. Photo at right below is of FHA members with Nursing Home patients, to whom they sang carols and other- wise entertained at Christmas. Many skills, trades included in DHS’ agri program MANY TRADES are important to agri-busi- ness, and schools’ agri departments recog- nize their value both to the individual and to the economy. Immediately below instruc- tor Wallace Wortham teaches Gary West and Dennis Nowell some painting tricks. At right, Perry Stroh and Crosby Stephens try their hands at repairing truck fender, and be- low, several agri students measure lumber during carpentry demonstration. 62 FFA CHAPTER chiefs this year have been, I to r, Billy Freeman, stu- dent advisor; Tommy Jacobs, reporter; John Ahrens, sec.; Wesley Staton, pres.; Mark Spharler, vice pres.; Per- ry Stroh, treas., and Michael Meins, senti- nel. FFAs active in contests, perform many services Never a dull moment with DeWitt High’s Future Farmers, who partic- ipate in parliamentary procedure contests and numerous judging con- tests and usually come out well. Mem- bers experience leadership and re- sponsible citizenship roles in their or- ganization, also, which will be helpful to them all their lives. Their projects take a lot of time, but they’re valu- able training and usually economical- ly profitable, also. ONE OF HIGHLIGHTS of the year was a visit to the local chapter by the national FFA secretary Jerry Goolsby, third from left in photo at left, talking with FFA prexy Wesley Staton during an assembly as FFA sponsor Wallace Wortham and Mr. Latimore of the State Dept, look on. In bottom left photo Staton and Billy Koen do a bit of carpentry work. The pretty girl be- low is, of course, this year's FFA sweetheart, Dorothy Case. 63 THEE FAMILIAR tune of clicking typewriters can be heard almost any time of day down the south hall. Business study expands vocational opportunities Emphasis of the business world is skill, and the same emphasis is placed on commercial studies at DUS, where students are trained not only in typing, shorthand and bookkeeping but in the use of all of today’s major business machines. Many of those now taking business courses will follow professions they are training for in this course. Others will own and operate their own businesses and will also be thankful for having acquired business knowledge while in high school. BELOW, students work with calcu- lators. At right, Miss Burton helps student get started on typing routine. 35) U MRS. BOSMA gives helpful hints to short- hand students. FBLA Stimulates career interests FBLA further en- courages knowl- edge of the busi- ness world and stresses character development, re- sponsibility, gain- ing confidence, personality and oth- er vital personal factors. Officers this year have been Henrietta Ransom, pari.; Mable Lene King, pres.; Gracie Jemerson, sec.; Linda Ransom, treas.; Margaret Ticey, reptr., and Rudy Belford, vice pres.. 65 MR. MAGNESS watches Kay Spharl- er prepare interest- ing bulletin on im- portant factors and reminders for work- ing students. Vocational study raises students’ job potential The vocational-educational program at DHS helps students work toward more satisfying vocations than they may have had without the program. Businesses throughout town co- operate splendidly by helping to train-with-pay the students in the program, and they gain both in studies and at work. TERESA NEUKAM finds working in church office part time a satisfying occupation. 66 New perspective seen in work-study program Many teenagers are acquiring new skills also through a special education work-study program taught by Don Johnston. Students seek to acquire skills in fields in which they are best suited, which will be of value to them as they step out of high school into the world. AT LEFT Mr. Johnston goes over lesson work with student. Below is section of work-study students in class. STUDENTS LEARN in geography that this world is a big, yet small place. Social studies take lown-to- veryday learns Iping a he im- hin up STUDENTS “FEED'' their driving practice into computer which in turn tells them how well or how poorly they are doing. Computer guides would-be drivers accurately Driver education has been a valu- able program at DHS, and use of one of the Department of Educa- tion’s mobile units which is equip- ped with actual car dashboards and steering wheels, with a com- puter recording students’ driv- ing,” helps teenagers learn faster and learn how to be better drivers at the same time. The course also includes learning the mechanics of an automobile and how to do minor repairing. 69 MR. HORTON explains workings of simulated auto panel to would-be driver. 70 That Dragon band!

Hi-Times staffers close to today’s issues LOOKING OVER finished product are Jamie Pollock, Har- vey Edwards, Tressa Tower, Marsha Wood and Cathy Ruf- fin. At right Ed. Diana Denman and Assoc. Ed. Margaret Anderson sort papers on arrival from printer. 78 PAPER DAY sends staffers like Cathy Green, seen here, in every direction on deliveries. They keep readers informed, work on school, community projects Hi-Times staff members are always evaluat- ing local and world events as to their news- worthiness in a high school student publica- tion. They try to give teenagers, parents, grandparents, everyone a worthwhile paper and to uphold the Hi-Times’ reputation as a leader among high school publications. Among their chief school-community projects was a strong Youth Traffic Safety Campaign during the winter when roads were at their worst. Another year-long campaign has been waged against illicit drugs. The paper won 10th place nationally for last year's safety ef- fort. JOURNALISM CENTER is set up in DHS library when Hi-Times adviser, Mrs. Mary Louise Wright, named by The Newspaper Fund among na- tion’s top 30 journalism instructors, gets $100 award for that purpose. Stuttgart Daily Leader, who nomi- nated her, added another $100. Here Prin. Harold Hudson, left, presents check to Mrs. Wright, right, who in turn presents it to Mrs. Ellen West, librarian.

Tuneful Freshmen keep DHS halls sparkling True, high school opened a new world for Freshmen, but after the first-of-school mix-ups and confusion died down, they began to shine all over the place, enter activities with gusto, and make themselves known and heard. And they are such a lovable bunch — we couldn't spin with- out ’em. CLASS FAVORITES are Jan Briggs and Mike Wright. Run- ners-up were Susan Anderson and Eddie Carter, and Sandra Hobson and (tie), Mike Hornbcck and Sammuel Lockhart. 82 STEVE ALLEN SUSAN ANDERSON KATHY ASHBROOK BRYAN AYCOCK BOBBY BALLENTINE DAVID BELL DOROTHY BENTON CARLA BISSWANGER RENETHA BRADFORD JAN BRIGGS MONTA SUE BULLOCK JIMMY BUTCHER MICHAEL BUTCHER BILLY CARMACK EDDIE CARTER DEBORAH CARVER MARIAN CHAMBERS JERRY CHANEYWORTH RONNIE CHILDERS CURTIS COOK DENISE COPE STEPHEN COX MIKE CROSS DOLORES CUMMINGS TWYLA CUMMINGS RUSSELL DANIEL JOHN W.

They become active in Student Council, and their big project is decorating the school for Christmas — and they did a whiz-bang job of it, too. WHAT SOPHOMORE BOYS like best is Sophomore girls.

Vigor personified by highly volatile cheerleaders 146 You see them jumping and screaming their heads off at the games — but that is just one of the cheerleaders jobs. They plan assemblies, and plan yells for every one of them. They prepare skits, practice, practice practice, and then perform their hearts out for the Dragons. Their throats often get pretty sore, but they live through it and enjoy their work. WRAPPING GOAL posts was one of many chores to be done. TYPICAL SCENE at any game. Cheerleaders play big role as Dragon boosters. Airways resound as Dragon yells are called CHEERING JUN- IOR Dragon were Babbie Young, Cin- dy Hobson, mascot Relvea.

Dragon cindermen had a full schedule and at yearbook press time were just getting started with hopes of breaking some old records. Trampoline provides fun as well as exercise in girls’ PE TRAMPOLINE helps girls' physical educational program to be fun. Director Mrs. Linda Bohannon looks on as student practices. Part of their program included volleyball. MANY NIGHTS were spent around tables tossing ideas, planning, working, working, work- ing .. . Editor Chris Leibrock, with bubble gum In her mouth, looks at photo and thinks, as ideas also pop into heads of associate eds. Margaret Anderson and Lou Ann Burnett and Student Adviser Diana Denman, who was also chief photographer. Dragon staff records 1972-73 version of life around DHS Because we feel that DHSers would really like to help this old world to sing a new, brighter and more cheerful song, this years staff chose a theme along that line, and it worked hard through long, dreary months to combine all the data possible for the 192 pages that make up this year’s book. Hope you like it. IR4 DHSers want that yearbook and keep salesmen like Cathy Ruffin and Tressa Tower (center of photo at left, quite busy. In photo above, '‘Ching” Burnett and Chris Leibrock check copy one more time before it goes to printer. May it have added sweet song to your memories HELPING THEME along was artist Cathy Green. Admiring her work are Marsha Wood and Joyce Vansandt.
