We are unusually fortunate in our excellent faculty - student relationship. A small faculty turnover, a consistant attitude of helpfulness and friendliness, and the maintenance of a high stan¬ dard for conduct and work--all these build mutual respect, liking and a good atmosphere for ex¬ panding horizons. All MAHS teachers hold degrees and A cer¬ tificates. Six have advanced degrees; nine are currently working on MA ' s; one is nearing the end of his work on a Ph. D. Principal H. M. Finch rv y-i WE HOPE YOU like us! Principal H. M. Finch welcomes two new teachers to M. A. H.S. Mrs. Geral¬ dine Cloninger replaces Mrs. Shuford in the home economics department and Miss Willie Lou McGee is added to the math department for the only faculty changes. COFFEE, COOKIES, A SOCIAL get- together, and new books mix well as teachers come by the library after school to preview new materials. Mr. Ramey, Mr. Atkins, and Mrs. Bar¬ ringer look over additions in the social sciences.
