After Twenty Years Service W. G. Nunn, superintendent of Valdosta Schools, retired thfs year. While he put aside his administra- tive duties, he left behind an everpresent image of one who was for twenty years a friend and sup- porter of Valdosta High School. Mr. Nunn received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Auburn University and did extra graduate work at The University of Georgia and Southern Methodist University. After beginning his teaching career as a coach at Daviston, Alabama, he moved to Nelson, Georgia, to become coach there. Two years later he accepted the job of principal at Canton, Georgia, where he served nine years. Mr. Nunn was then promoted to the job of superintendent of Jesup Schools. He served eleven years in Jesup before moving to Val- dosta, where he served the school system as superin- tendent. Besides being an avid Wildcat fan, Mr. Nunn found time for these hobbies: golf, bridge, hunting and “kidding James Dewar.” Memories of this educator will remain as a testament to the “W. G. Nunn era at Valdosta. II

Jana Davis, April Wetherington, Elsie Rehberg, Peggy Myddelton, Judy Welch, and Scarlet Caldwell “keep their cool” for the camera, )frs. Will Burgsteiner and Mrs. L. P. Thomas share a private joke. MISS MARGUERITE FORD MRS. L. P. THOMAS Guidance Counselor Records Secrelary MRS. SAMMY CLASSMAN MRS. WILL BURGSTEINER Guidance Secretary Financial Secretary To add to the administrative staff this year, Val'dosta High School acquired an assistant super- intendent, Mr. James Foster Goolsby, and a new li- brarian, Mrs. James Foster. Mr. Goolsby will replace retiring Mr. W. G. Nunn as acting superintendent of all Valdosta schools at the beginning of next year. Mrs. Foster replaced Mrs. Bryan Mathis, who retired after serv- ing as librarian for many years. These new staff members accentuated the young look at VHS, where emphasis is placed on students and their problems. Responsibility for dealing with these school problems was given to Mr. Howard Bridges, principal, whose job dubbed him police- man, teacher, and friend. Counseling was Miss Ford’s primary duty. She helped students determine schedules and decide on colleges and careers. 13
