Mr. and Mrs. Page R. Pendleton have dedi- cated 20 years of their life to serving Ash- land—both the school and the community. During their years at Ashland, Mr. Pendle- ton has been superintendent of schools while Mrs. Pendleton has served as book- keeper, first for the entire school and la- ter, as the system grew, for the junior high and senior high. During their first year here, Mrs. Pendleton was also a classroom teacher for half a day. Soon after the Pendletons came to Ashland the elementary building was constructed. Several years later an addition was added, bringing the building to its present size. Were it not for Mr. Pendleton, the new sen- ior high building, of which we are all so proud, might still be in the planning stage. Under his guidance the school has more than tripled its size since 1950. Any time a student enters the senior high office, a friendly greeting from Mrs. Pen- dleton awaits him. Her job has not been easy and it is one that many people tend to overlook. Now after 20 years of service, Mr. and Mrs. Pendleton are going to retire from the Ashland School system. We hope they will take with them many fond memories of their years at AHS. Jn Appreciation John Pauley, on behalf of the student body, proudly presents the Pendeltons with a nlao,1P

Picture Of Ohe Present Reflection Of Past Each year it becomes the responsibility of a new EAGLE staff to compile a yearbook which will capture those special moments that occur only once but are not soon to be forgotten. It's a tremendous responsibility—but the efforts exerted now will in the future help bring to mind a memory, help someone to recall a name, or illuminate a face that through the years has changed. In this publication, it is our intention to arrange pictures of all those who have been enrolled, employed, or closely associated with our school, as well as illustrate and explain the many events which embodied our 1968-69 school year. The co-operation received by the staff has been excellent. The size of our yearbook has in- creased due to the generous response of our advertisers and subscribers. We appreciate their confidence. We also wish to acknowledge the services of Mrs. Susan Curtman, who gave of her time to proofread each page of this publication. We have faithfully completed our task, and we hope that the '69 EAGLE meets with your ap- proval . The EAGLE Staff

Three years ago a pert, little brunette entered the teaching profession at Ashland. Her abili- ty as both a teacher and friend has endeared her to all who have known her and worked with her. Although she is our friend, she is still our teacher and because of this she earns and receives the respect of both students and facul- ty. As the sponsor of the yearbook, she has given up many hours of her time to work with us. She is always willing to write body copy, type copy sheets or do any other job that needs to be done. Many times she has taken staff mem- bers to Columbia or Jefferson City to get ad- vertisements, take pictures, or talk with our studio photographer. No matter how busy she is, she can always find time to listen to the staff's problems and to offer advice. We have often failed to thank her for all she has done for us, but we hope that this, in some small way, helps to tell her how we feel. Thank you, Miss Lenzini, for everything. Ju Appreciation One of the most dedicated teachers at Ashland is a member of our elementary faculty. As a second grade teacher, Mrs. Ward works pa- tiently and diligently with her pupils, helping them learn the many subjects they must mas- ter. Not only are her pupils fond of her, but she has gained a special place in the hearts of many of the high school students as well. Mrs. Ward is a very enthusiastic follower of athletics at AHS, rarely missing a game either at home or away. For her dedicated support of AHS sports, the Lettermen's Club presented her a plaque at their annual Athletic Banquet this spring. Mrs. Ward always has a ready smile and a cheery hello for everyone she meets. We hope that our appreciation for Mrs. Ward and all that she has done for us is in some way realized by giving her this recognition which she truly de- serves. 10
