Dedication Makes For Wonderful Surprises First it was a classroom, then a science building and library, next came the beloved air- conditioning, and finally a new kindergarten building. All of these could be credited to Mr. John Allen Blitch, better known as “Uncle Johnny”. When Miss Marguerite’s closed, three year olds “didn’t have a place to go.” The need was there, but the money wasn’t. So, “Uncle Johnny” sur- prised the Board with enough money to start work on the Developement Center. Where did the money come from? How did he do it? “I just ask my friends,” he said. There were many contributors, as well as fund-raisers. The auctions and magazine sales added to the thou- sands of dollars that were col- lected to finance the project. “Uncle Johnny” not only raised money for the school; he was al- ways a willing participant in school activities. He trekked to St. Augustine with the fourth grade, Washington D.C. with the eighth, and the Jacksonville Zoo with the kindergarten’s 5 yr. olds. When asked why he did it, he said, “I do it for the school and for the kids.” He added, “It makes it worthwhile to walk down the hall and have the kids say, ‘Hey Uncle Johnny’.” He has been featured in the Tallahassee Democrat and other publications for all of his work with the Quincy Music Theatre on the Leaf at Centenary Meth- odist Church, and at Munroe. Recognition and appreciation, for his ideas and boundless energy could never be fully expressed. He affected the lives of countless Gadsden Countians, and won the hearts of each group he touched. Anytime someone needed, or wanted something, they knew who to call. They knew that John- ny Blitch would get the job done. Another of his countless fundraisers; for this one Mr. Biitch must raise $400 to bail out of the March of Dimes jail. Blitch Center 83

Our School Our school is very specical. It provides people with many op- portunities. We have many sports. If you don’t want to do one sport there are many others to choose from. Munroe has clubs that you can be in. You can learn many things in the Brain Brawl. The Spelling Bee is a battle down to the last. I’m very proud of our school. I’ve learned many things in Munroe. I know I will learn much more. Polly Bohannon Lara Leigh Williams What Easter Means To Me DRUGS Drugs! Drugs! Drugs! I warn you if you take drugs because it’s dan- gerous to me and probly to you. O.K. everybody probly has seen crack on t.v. commercials and all I’m asking is for you not to take drugs but if you do your going to re- gret it! Joey Spooner Some people think that Eas- ter is just the Easter Bunny. But is really Jesus dying on the cross and rising from the dead. I like Easter because Jesus showed he loved us by dying on the cross. Jesus could have saved himself, but instead he decided to suffer on the cross. Jesus also showed that he wanted to suffer to save our sins. Spring Spring has sprung; So has fun, it has yet begun, fun for everyone, Spring has sprung! Katie Suber Boblaies 85
