Emerson This saying certainly applies to Mr. James Akers, the one to whom the 1967 TALISMAN is dedicated, for he has done a “thing well!” in moulding our school. Two years ago Emma Sansom students welcomed a new principal to their midst. A new principal only—for two years previous, he had served as Assistant Prtncipal and a teacher of chemistry and physics.
