An hour of exercise and recreation each day helps to promote coordination and cooperation between students and pro- vides a break from the daily classroom routine. Most phases of games and exercises are taught, fully supervised in the two hours ofjunior high and the hve hours of senior high P.E., by coaches Jack Purdom, Hayden Trigg, Al Houscr, and Jamey Parks.

A brief shining moment . . . when a teacher recognizes that first sudden gleam of awareness in the eye of a student. A teacheris career is only a moment in history, but the knowledge and the character he now imparts will be a last- ing influence on the generations to come. We owe a tremendous debt to our administration and faculty. They give to us the benefits of their knowledge and experience. For this, we should be forever grateful, for without them we would lack one of our most priceless pos- sessions, an education. ADMINISTRATION EDITOR: Theresa Higgins ADMINISTRATION RESOLVES TO Mr. J. D. Smith. formerly of Southwest High of Wash- burn, is serving his first year as Superintendent at Marion- ville.

When not devoting time to his work, Mr. Redus enjoys hunting as well as other sports. Returning after seven years. Mr. Jack Purdom is serving his third year as Elementary Principal.

It is their re- sponsibility to prepare a sound educa- tional foundation for the young people they instruct. Elementary teachers also assist the student in adjusting to new activities, cooperating with others, and forming profitable work habits. Under the capable direction of ju- nior high school teachers, the student is given a preview of the demands of high school curricula, with assurance of gaining further knowledge in the field of education.

AND SO THE SCHOOL YEAR ENDS I A For some the year was filled with fun packed moments, for others it consisted of many hours of concentration and studying. Whether these times were good or bad, 1969 was made up of many 'gbrief shining moments . The COMET Staff would like to thank everyone who made the publica- tion ofthis annual possible. First of all, the staff would like to present a very special acknowledgement to Mrs. Judy Askins, our advisor. Without the helpfulness, understand- ing, and generosity of her time, patience, and ability this 1969 COMET would never have come off the press. We would like to thank those who went out of their way to help a struggling yearbook staff hold its own. We are in- debted to several students who were ready and willing whenever needed for oddjobs, and to those who volunteer- ed their typing skills. And last, but certainly not least, to the members of the COMET Staff who went beyond the call of duty and remained until the last deadline when the job has become a chore instead of an exciting new activity. For all these people we have no words-just feelings. 'tThanks isn't enough. 52 2 5135 3 if? Q ESQ gimw iii? Eiga?
