Faculty works together to provide complete puzzle Working together provides many in- teresting pieces of the puzzle for the facul- ty. The give and take of everyday life in running a school can cause stress but can also create valuable learning experiences. Teaching is a demanding, but most rewarding profession and Taylor County High School is very fortunate to have a good staff. Working isn’t the only thing that these teachers do. Day in and day out they work constantly with students and parents, but they also find time to visit and have food, fun and fellowship. Often, when the oppor- tunity arises, members of the staff will get together and have a covered dish luncheon or a cookout. Judging from the array of food on the tables, one can clearly see that there are some good cooks and definitely some good eaters. At times such as this, faculty members have a chance to discuss profes- sional concerns and look for some of the lighter moments in the school year. “I can certainly say we have some good cooks in this school.” was a comment made by Math teacher Malcolm Page. The ef- forts that everyone contributes are most worthwhile. Whether it is working together or play- ing together, these faculty members are an invaluable piece of the puzzle. Above Malcolm Page samples some of the Christmas Punch and pronounces it delightful. The line up for the Thanksgiving luncheon took time to sample all the dif- ferent dishes. 29

Her ambition hasn’t slowed the least bit since her graduation as an honor student from T.C.H.S. in 1961. Presently she is not only teaching Senior Honors English, Freshman English, and Yearbook at T.C.H.S., but she also works as the coordinator for all inservice programs for instruc- tional and noninstructional personnel in the school district. Mrs. Hamby’s joy in working with young people is obvious because of the organizations she is involved with. She is a sponsor for the Seniors and Little Women.

He has effectively woven his knowledge of foreign countries gained when he was an army officer with the textbooks his students use in the courses he teaches. Teaching has become a second career for Mr. Franklin, for he is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel.
