Personalities Who doesn't have a childhood hero? A football player, a beauty queen, or even a student-teacher. And all of a sudden, our childhood dreams become true. We have a chance to act out that beauty pageant we dreamed about, to direct a meeting, to score a touchdown, to get our picture in the Chanticleer, or to receive the professional award we have been working for since we were in junior high. The Mimosa records in its pages the dreams-come-true of many students who may leave Jacksonville shortly, but who will always look back to the day when they were recognized for their individual achievement, their beauty, their talent. Miss Homecoming 1981, Teresa Jones represents the limelight That each student achieves as each task is finished and each honor bestowed. 20

Dedication Mrs. Linda Chandler represents a rare combination of qualities found in a teacher. By reputation, she demands quality performance in the classroom and maintains high academic standards, and at the same time, is able to create a pleasant atmosphere which makes her classes fun to be in. Students consider her approachable and appreciate her because she always gets to know and remembers each one. Even though she expects near perfection in her clothing classes, students trained by her are willing to work long hard hours on each garment or design because they respect her knowledge and expertise. She never requires an assignment which she herself has not completed. Her easy going manner, her patience, and her bubbly personality help the most inexperienced student to feel comfortable and confident. The University must feel proud to claim her as an alumnae, as well as a former Marching Ballerina. Indeed, it is with pride and enthusiasm that the staff, on behalf of the student body, dedicates the 1982 Mimosa to Linda N. Chandler.
