Miss Sally-Anne Teale graced the halls of our Alma Mater and left some never-to-be-forgotten memories. Sally- Anne is from Birmingham, England, but while she was here, she was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Van Landingham. Sally-Anne graduated from high school in England and plans to attend college there in the fall of 1965. Although we shall have other foreign exchange students here at ESHE, none will compare to Sally-Anne, our first. 64 STUDENT COUNCIL FRONT ROW, Left to Right: Allen Stephens, Sergeant-of-Arms; Jack O'Dell, Treas- urer; Sally-Ann Teale, Exchange Student; Truddie Collet, Vice-President; Helen Du- vall, President; Bob Walsh, Parliamentarian.
