Miss Gaines balanced the freshman year. English, a root of our knowledge, is implanted into growing gardens, into minds. playing the role of a field, nourished by drops of facts and words. Fertilized by a helping hand encouraging growth. gardens develop by established rules, as in those of nature. Warmed by satisfaction and success. the garden flourishes . roots become a plant, reaching, reaching, to the top. Finally, harvest time arrives: some plants will wilt in a process, others will go on to nourish a world. still a few remain to fertilize those gardens who do not yet know. Upon discovering a new role in life, Mrs. Georgia Stumpf reluctantly decided that she should depart from her family of freshmen English and literature classes to travel home and there, raise a family of her own. Communications and its mediums are a concern to this pen- sive man. Coaching English, tennis, and Pilot Flashes are the pressing concerns and tasks of Mr. William Bankston. Quick to the aid of Eddie Karch and Paul Hilton, Mrs. Gayle Heath instructs with warmth, wisdom, and wit. Very much a part of Generation ' 70, she guides society ' s future leaders to profitable knowledge.

Singing a favorite ballad are minstrels Roberta Carlson, Sara Miller, Susie Peek, Emmons Berry and Paul McBee. Contemplating which gourmet dish to sample first are Peggy Schmidt and Tim Smith. The menu included such delicacies as roast pig and carrots wrapped in cabbage leaves.

Greek gods and goddesses materialized as many unknown talents were discovered.
