Not Only a Teacher. A teacher is one who strives to instill a desire to learn in her students, is patient beyond all limits, and never stops learning herself. This perfectly describes Miss Wilhemina Kathryn McKenzie. Always unfailing- ly interested in her students, in school and out, Miss McKenzie can usually be seen in the stands at a foot- ball game. An avid baseball fan, she has a full crowd at the T.V. in her room during the World Series each year. A native of Ehrhardt, Miss McKenzie received her A.B. from Newberry College; she was the recipient of the History Honor Award. Her graduate work was done at Winthrop College and the University of South Carolina. She also attended three Driver Training Clinics at Furman University and Erskine College. Before coming here, Miss McKenzie taught at Ehrhardt. She has been at St. Matthews High School for twenty years. When she first began teaching here, she taught only eighth grade subjects; she now teach- es algebra, business arithmetic, and modern math II. Until this year, Miss McKenzie taught Driver Training. She was responsible for the Driver Training Program being installed in our school, which was one of the first schools in the state to have it. In addition to teaching, Miss McKenzie has been sponsor of the Student Council for many years. She can be seen at the ballfield helping to decorate for Homecoming in October or getting the King’s and Queen’s court ready for May Day. These are but two of the many activities she is in charge of as sponsor of the Student Council. Traveling is one of Miss McKenzie’s favorite pas- times. She also reads, knits, crochets, and sews. When Miss McKenzie leaves us, our school will surely miss her. We salute a very great teacher.and a very great lady. Miss McKenzie takes a moment out from watching the basketball game.

A Time for Laughter, “Different” can describe the way Debbie Walling, Buttons Inabinet, Marsha Feryus, and Bobbie Ann Rucker look as they participate in FHA initiation. Life at S. M. H. S. varies from day to day. A football game, an initiation, a discussion with friends, a moment of quiet thoughtfulness—all of these things break the monotony of school. Not only are minds open to knowledge, but hearts are open to friendships. Last- ing memories are made as jokes, thoughts, and ideas are shared by friends. The ever- lasting bustle enfolds even the loneliest of people. We, at St. Matthews High, not only live to learn, but learn to live. Something astonishing caught Stcphie Dean’s eye. 6
