 §- S)V vyrv. MR. ani) % » Now you see that Joseph Kershaw Academy is a story that changes with you. But the story's history is special -- special because it has originated and been guided by people who care a- bout how it turns out; people who are working to see that it becomes what it dreams to be. Among these are Mr. and Mrs. Dan Lovett . . . both of whom have filled prominent posts and exerted tremendous influence in our school. In their own words: 1 'We see that J.K. A. fills a need in this area because we see the quality of education the children are getting.'' ' 'Any time the school has any kind of crisis, that's the very time that all the parents pull together; they want the school; they love the school; and they get to work. The students love the school. We have one of the most dedicated faculties possible. Joseph Kershaw Academy has a bright future.'' Because of people like the Lovetts, the dream is coming true. 14

 I like my job. Mr. Zemp And now ... we go behind the scenes for some off-the-camera, candid interviews with the cast of ' 'The Guiding Light.'' The first character we interview is Mr. Lachicotte Zemp, who recently assumed the role of J.K. A. 's headmaster. Mr. Zemp: At J.K.A., the students have impressed me most. Their values are right and basically they are looking at things in the right manner.1' 1 'Probably the best quality of the school is the relationship between students and teachers. There's a very healthy respect on both sides. We're limited to some extent because of our size, lack of money, and limited course offerings. On the other hand, it's great because there are so many things a school this size can do. 1 like my job. 1 like the activity of it, the variety, and the feeling that the school is growing and improving and that 1 can help.'' Mr. Hunkier, assistant headmaster, anatomy teacher, and coach: It's been a real challenge over the summer with my change of job. It means more responsibilities in the total aspect of school. 1 feel this is a step toward my future-the involvement as assistant headmaster here at school. I've found that 1 like Camden, and in five years, 1 hope to still be in Camden and working in the educational field in one way or another. There's no doubt in my mind that J.K.A. has survived an awful lot of derogatory happenings, and 1 can see nothing but a bigger and brighter future for the school.''
