WE DEDICATE A BOOK The 1966 Torch Staff dedicates our year- book to Mr. R, A. Ginn - teacher, advisor, friend, Mr. Ginn attended Birmingham-Southern, David Lipscomb, Howard, and the University of Alabama. He has a B.A. degree in English and Speech and an M.A. in secondary educa- tion. He combines this excellent training with genuine respect for his students. He teaches classes in speech, dramatics, and Latin. His warm attitude toward his job is re- flected in the answer he gave when asked if he liked teaching. He said, Well, there are good days and bad days. Most of them good. The picture at the right was taken as Mr. Ginn enjoyed a moment with his study hall group. Students and teachers know him as a modest man who is always willing to help. Each year he serves as Latin and Drama Club advisor. He sponsors senior plays and assemblies. In ad- dition to this, he has a senior home- room and teaches as many as four different subjects. H.imiJiaM iay.BJimj.iM ' Jiiiai!mm m

The youth who come into con- tact with Mr. Ginn will always remember his friendship as a treas- ured part of life at Jordan.
