Here is to You Mr. Vohsen . . . And Thanks! A teacher respected for his advice and coun- sel; a well traveled man of kindness and under- standing; an unpretentious example of candor and justice, who scorns hypocrisy, a solid rock of consistency and high idealism; a man who be- lieves teaching is an exchange of knowledge from teacher to student and from student to teacher; for 10 years a mentor to his chil- dren — To you Mr. Vohsen, we dedicate this book. Born and raised in the industrial, fi- nancial, and transportation center of Montreal, Canada, Mr. Vohsen amassed his evidently splendid educa- tion from schools located not only in the United States, but abroad as well, studying in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Belgium. Leaving his position with the United States Postal system, his desire was to relocate in Michigan's Thumb area. He secured a position with the Kings- ton School system in 1971; function- ing as an English, French and Govern- ment teacher. Mr. Vohsen is a teacher in the real sense of the word, believing the pri- mary purpose of a school is to edu- cate and mentally prepare the stu- dents for the world they must face upon graduation. One of his strong beliefs in education, is the mainte- nance of discipline in the classroom, knowing that this is one of the neces- sities for success in life itself. Government became his favorite class to teach, but now he enters his retirement. He feels that he can look back at his time spent at Kingston High School and say he believes he has been a fair and qualified teacher. For this, he would like to be remem- bered, and so he will. Here's to you Mr. Vohsen! 4 Dedication

'No thanks! I'm full, says Lisa Roberson to the worm offered her. Education itself is changing as evidenced here in group work lead by senior. Dale Sullins. Changing: Compact Efficient and Intelligent Everything around us is changing; days, people, the economy and most of all, our way of life. The world that we're living in now is made up of 14.5% unemployment, and $1.40 or more gas prices with daily threats of even more. The prime lending rate con- tinues to fluctuate around the 19% level. These are things that students, parents, and teachers must all adjust to in order to keep changing for the times. Teachers are human too, shown here by Miss Lehman and Marcie Kelly. Ron Wolak thinks physics problems sure beat counting bricks on the walls of study hall. Theme 3
