He is quite active in many things at Fort Ashby. He is spon- sor of the Student Council, coach of the track team, and sponsor of the Senior Class. In fact, he has sponsored our class for the past four years. He is the recipient of the ''Teacher of the Year'' Award. Besides accomplishing all these material things, he has won a place in all our hearts; he has achieved a lasting friendship with each and everyone of us. Our way of giving thanks is by dedicating the 1974 Fortress to you, Dedication This is his 20th year of teaching and coaching at Fort Ashby without missing a single day. He has taught many of us to drive, and all of us know how much patience and understanding he must have to endure that! Besides being a coach and teacher, he has substituted as our prin- cipal many times. Also, this year Coach Sayers is the only teacher without a lunch period - he teaches eight periods everyday, and he still keeps smiling! Coach, we want you to know that we appreciate all your time, talent, and devotion. Thank you! Quentin Sayers ADMINISTRATION Our Principal This is Mr. Holsberry's second year at Fort Ashby. The Senior Class of 1974 would like to take this opportunity to thank him for making our Junior and Senior years complete. He has been very understanding, and we know he has taught us things that we will use the rest of our lives. Thank you! John L. Holsberry MR. MILLER - Thank goodness it's Friday! TLL AY . ‘ $ a MRS.

McKENZIE - How about deuces wild? MRS. PATTERSON - Who said I don't have a pleasant disposition? We come to school to learn about a truth we can meet and witness. And in searching for it, we find a common bond which ties us together with more strength. Our teachers help us to discover these truths through gentle persuasion and guidance, but most of all, we help each other by caring enough to give our time. MRS. ALKIRE - Happy days are here again! 13 Service Staff Our ''clean-up'’ men are Clyde Barnes, Asst. Custodian, and Mr. William Shook, Custodian. Our friends who keep us ''well- nourished'' are our cooks, Kay Llewelyn and Edith Thompson. Those men who carry us safely to and from school are (1. to r.)
