Mrs. Millie Adamson, M.S. Spanish, English A year spent with Mrs. Adamson is one that is not easily forgotten. Her classes are always a lot of fun and the in- dividual attention that she shows to each student is greatly appreciated. Janet Valois William A. Davis, B.A. industrial Arts, M.C.C. Mr. Davis is a man of many abilities. His friendly nature is always displayed whether he is drilling M.C.C., teaching P.E., or repairing a bus. Lee Giddings Miss Beverly Dolan, B.A. English, Speech, Art When you walk into Miss Dolan's Eng- lish class, you begin to feel your way into a whole new world. lt is a world where you learn the art of self-expres- sion, and gain the satisfaction and sur- ety that comes from knowing you're speaking correctly. Betty Shetler Mervin York, M.S. Science, Math Mr. York is an understanding and quiet- natured person. He has a sense of humor that gives a lift to the class. We are happy to have Mr. York on the faculty this year. Bob Wright Allen Wiegardt, M.Ed. Principal, American History Our big man on the campus is Mr. Wiegardt, principal, teacher, friend.

Harry C. Mattison, B.A., M.A., D.D.S. Chairman, Board of Trustees The needs of young men and women are not very different from the needs of their parents, and indeed from the needs of all men and women everywhere. They need God. Man cannot live without God, for He is the source of all life. Indeed death - both temporal and eternal - is the result of man separating himself from the source of life. Jesus said: Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11:26. This is because through believing one becomes forever united with the source of all life. They need each other. No man lives unto himself. No man is an island. A major part of life is learning how dependent we are upon our fellows, how dependent they are upon us, and learning that almost all real growth and progress results from teamwork. We can neither speak nor act without affecting someone else. They need themselves-and faith in themselves. Every person needs to know himself- his capacities, his limitations, his strengths, his weaknesses. One must know himself in order to possess faith, and in turn self-confidence, in himself-and without faith and self-confidence, personal growth, development, maturity, and progress are impossible. To provide a context, an environment, in which these needs will be maximally satisfied is the task, the challenge, and the purpose of the Board of Trustees of this school.

William Forrest, B.A. Bible To make students think must be one of Mr. Forrest's aims, as he certainly does iust that. He is always interested in youth activities ,and has many good ideas on ways to have fun. Sharri Jeffrey Dwight Miller, B.A. Business Office, Bookkeeping As a teacher, Mr. Miller is very under- standing and very good-natured. His willingness to help people in need would make him welcome on any cam- pus. Judy Sanders Mrs. Georgia Thomas Library, P.E. We have appreciated Mrs. Thomas' pa- tience in the library this year. She has certainly done a good iob keeping some of the more exuberant students quiet so we would have a nice place to study. Leona Head Laverne Driver, B.A. Science, Math, History It has been a privilege having Mr. Driver with us this year. l am sure his Algebra students won't forget their signs, nor his History students their dates. Amelia Dyson Mrs. Bess Williams, B.S. Typing, Shorthand, Home Arts We are glad to have Mrs. Williams back at our school. We like the neatness and simplicity of her appearance, and her serene ways of teaching make her clas- ses very enioyable. Lydia Aguinaldo 9
