l lwa in ur Hearts! Bill Sargo has an associa- tion with Fountain Lake School that has spanned fourty-four years as a teach- er and a student. During the fall of 1938, he began his days as a Cobra, graduating in 1950. While a student he was a charter member of the FFA and served on a judging team that won the bronze plaque at the National Gen- eral Livestock Judging Competition. he was also ac- tive in 4-H and held several county and state offices as well as being an award-win- ning livestock producer and showman. In the fall of 1956, he re- turned to FL as a fifth grade teacher after attending Hendrix College and Hen- derson State Teacher's Col- lege where he obtained his degree. The following year he began teaching social studies, a position he has held ever since. His social studies classes have made twenty state legislature and capitol tours. During Mr. Sargo's thirty- two years at FL, he has served under four superin- tendents: Roscoe Davis, Roy Rowe, Glenn Ford, and Irvin Bass. He has also worked for seven different principals: John Doster, Gilbert Davis, Lynn Gaston, Howard May- berry, Robbie Hancock, Jerry Clay, and Larry Beck- ham. For twenty years Mr. Sargo served as either Ju- nior or Senior sponsor. Un- der his direction those clas- ses staged twenty class plays. They also held many chicken suppers to raise money for proms and class trips, resulting in the cook- ing of one ton of chicken. As a Senior sponsor he has tak- en twelve class trips, travel- ing 13,300 miles with the students. He has also direct- ed three all-school pro- grams. The last one was an American Bicentennial cele- bration that coincided with his 20th year of teaching. Four hundred students par- ticipated in the program. It is not surprising that Mr. Sargo entered the teach- ing profession. His mother, Vay B. Sargo, was also a teacher at FL in its early days. His love for the FL community has been reflect- ed by the hard work and ef- fort he has put in on behalf of its young people. Mr. Sargo has always been a very giving and caring in- dividual who truly had the welfare and success of his students at heart. On cam- pus Mr. Bill could always be counted on for a winning smile and a friendly greet- ing, as well as a sense of pride and determination that he tried to instill in his students. On April 1, 1988, Mr. Sargo retired from teaching. He will be truly missed by all at Fountain Lake, but after his many years of influence as teacher, friend, and col- league, he will be remem- bered for years to come by all those whose lives he tou- ched. Bill Sargo will always be a part of Fountain Lake School. copy by Mary Thompson
