FFII1 LTY Mr. Harold Slipp, graduate of Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, has taught mathematics in Fort Fairfield High School for 12 years. He was one of the first coaches for the Golf Team and served several years as advisor for the Student Council. lt was within his teaching career that an independent math-study program was estab- lished and which has proved to be a help to many college-bound students. He has been extremely conscientious in his efforts to seek perfection in his work and in the achievements of his students. Mr. Kenneth Clark received his Bachelor and Masters' degrees from the University of Maine in Orono. He has taught in Easton High School for five years and served as an agricul- ture teacher for thirty-five years here at Fort Fairfield High School. His nickname of COACH is a well-deserved one as scores of young men in our community and many who have moved away boast of having played bas- ketball under his able direction. The Frontier Chapter of FFA has done extremely well with Mr. Clark as the advisor. Coach has encour- aged teenagers to aim for high ideals in their future and to excell in whatever they may try. These two faculty members are planning to retire this year. We, on behalf of both faculty and student body, wish these teachers our best for their leisurely retirement years. We will miss both of you! 5

Mr, Thib., We Think You Are Great! lf anyone is deserving of being the recipient of an hon- orable tribute, it is Mr. Larry Thibodeau. A high school teacher is one who helps students to learn, but when this skill is combined with such qualities as: friendship, loy- alty, fairness, and a sense of warm humor that enlightens all, you have much more than an ordinary teacher. You have one who is working at his maximum to prepare the immature students of today for transformation into the young adults of tomorrow. Mr. Thibodeau emphasizes individuality and works to strenghten the egos and per- sonalities of his students so that they may realize confi- dence and learning go hand in hand. This one is for you, Mr. Thib from the Class of '79! We are finally at the end of the beginning, and as we look to the possibility of a strong future, we have you and oth- ers like you to be grateful to. Many thanks, Mr. Thibo- deau. ll fWritten by Kate Moirsj - li In His Younger Days I
