Miss Patsy King shows Roma Sutphin how to correct her lay-out. The 1973 Maple Leaves Staff wishes to honor three “true” educators for giving so freely of their time and themselves to this publication and to D.H.S. The headaches, ulcers, and frus- trations of publishing a yearbook so often fall upon the advisors. No one feels the crushing weight of a deadline, or the horror of not fin- ishing sixty-five pages, as does an advisor. After a full day of teaching, working with harried editors until midnight required dedication. Miss King not only checked in- formation to obtain the best design and photography, but also “ar- gued with yearbook companies to obtain the best possible book for D.H.S. She is the backbone of the 73 Maple Leaves. Collecting bills from advertizers and being responsible for all the money in an eight-thousand dollar operation demanded a great dpal of extra time and effort from an un- derstanding Mrs. Campbell. An unlimited supply of patience and imagination developed head- lines and captions and proofed copy for every two pages. Mr. Newberry was an invaluable critic for copy writers and editors. Editing each lay-out, budgeting money, and planning and sup- plying all the background for the yearbook created many sleepless and hectic nights for our advisors. The Maple Leaves 1973 is for Miss Patsy King, Mrs. Mary Lea Campbell, and Mr. John Newberry. n

Maple Leaves Spotlights Campbell, King, and Newberry In 1973, Dublin High School had fifty-five faculty members and over forty extra-curricular clubs, sports, and activities. The conception of a five-hour “schoolmarm is gone— a teacher ' s work is never done. In addition to those late-night hours of grading papers and planning lessons, most D.H.S. teachers sponsored after-school clubs or ac- tivities on their own time. Extra-curricular activities are a vi- tal part of the learning process, and an “educator is called upon to be- come involved in many commu- nity as well as school projects. MRS.

Few students realized the impor- tance of the D.H.S. Administration. It was necessary to catch the smokers in the restrooms and dis- cipline the kids that skipped classes. Someone had to open the gates at six o ' clock for football games and patrol with walkie-talk- ies to prevent fans from sneaking over the fences. It was mandatory for the gym to be open at five- thirty for basketball games, and thirteen hundred and fifty people had to be molded into a school. With the enrollment jumping by almost a hundred students, the Ad- ministrative Department was faced with a swamping workload. Senior scheduling helped, but there were simply too many people for two men to handle. To help alleviate the problem, Mr. Carl Lindstrom, a science teacher at D.H.S. became Assistant Principal in charge of dis- cipline. Mr. Robert Young moved to Assistant Principal of instruction, and Mr. Charles Davis remained as Principal. Miss Helen Cecil, secretary, and Mrs. Mabel McCleod, bookkeeper, had to bear the burden of extra students. They were buried under late requisitions and monthly re- ports waiting to be completed. Ab- sentee lists had to be typed every morning, and substitute teachers had to be found— sometimes at the last moment. Student office aides offered un- limited assistance by collecting ab- sentee cards and lunch counts from the clips on the doors, and by delivering “office requests to all ends of the school. The problems of growing are perhaps most felt in the Adminis- trative Department. Mr. Charles B. Davis and Mr. Kenneth Dobson, Superintendent of Schools, discuss some of the Administration MR.
