E lilwillli A TRIBUTE T0 THE FLAME TAFE 'The Flame' represents our first successful attempt to publish a year book. lt is a monumental tribute to the hard- working year book staff that was willing to burn the midnight oil, in order to accomplish a cherished dream. Great praise is due our faculty spon- sor, Mrs, Margaret B, Duncan, whose daily consecrated devotion to her task not only provided the necessary drive to in- itiate such an undertaking but also furn- ished the sustained enthusiasm neces- sary to complete it. Students and teach- ers, inspired by her leadership, lost themselves in their work and tasted of the higher joys of successful accomplish- ment. Dean Watson assisted Mrs, Duncan while Mr. Goulbourne served as business manager. Elder A. V. Pinkney was staff photographer. The origin of the SPARKS dates back to the beginning of the school it- self. lt was designed to recapture the happenings of life led here at Pine Forge. Maintaining a school paper such as this requires funds, The SPARKS campaign is launched annually to get subscribers. These campaigns prove successful and the paper circulates in all parts of the country. Since the SPARKS began, there have been numerous staffs, each doing its best to promote the growth of the paper.
