Two Forsyth Central High
School graphic design students
created winning designs in a
contest held by the school and
In-Depth Wraps to create a car
wrap design for the Forsyth
County Humane Society Thrift
Store.
The designs of freshman
Jennifer Bautista and senior Jacy
Shepard were the final ones chosen
for the thrift store. Their designs
were selected out of 79 entries by
Central students who entered the
contest.
“We loved many of the 79
designs the students submitted, and
the quality of the designs definitely
made it tough to choose,” Humane
Society Thrift Store Executive
Director Debbie Bertsch said. “We
enjoyed working with In-Depth
through this process and appreciate
being in a community that works
together.”
The winners received prize
money as well as the display of
their designs and names on a box
truck advertising the thrift store.
The box trck featured a combi
nation of the designs by Bautista
and Shepard. Bautista chose a
typeface for her design that was

Marjorie Reeves said.
“By the time I got down
to the altar, I had mascara
everywhere. The first
thing John did when
Daddy gave me to him at
the altar was wipe my
cheeks, and I thought that
was the kindest thing.”
After the wedding, the
Reeveses soon built a life
together and had two
children, Robert and
Bethe.
Due to the traveling
required of John Reeves’s
business career, many of
their anniversaries and
Father’s Days over the
years were celebrated
apart, with John Reeves
alone on the road.
“Being on the road is a
lonesome job. Don’t ever
let anybody tell you it’s
not because it is,” John
Reeves said. “We cele
brated a lot apart.”
For the last several
years, however, the cou

and cried all the way
down.”
Beginning with their
Father’s Day wedding,
celebrations of both
fatherhood and marriage
have often been inter
twined for the Reeveses.
Marjorie Reeves, in
particular, has special
memories of her father
from her wedding day,
including the moment
before the ceremony
when he asked her to take
off her high-heels as he
walked her down the aisle
to ensure that she
wouldn’t be taller than he
was.
“My daddy, after he
made me take those heels
off, he was so sweet. He
looked at me and said,
‘Honey, you’ve given me

Continental Congress in
1775 and was appointed
Major General and
Commander-in-Chief of
the colonial forces against
Great Britain.
All accounts of
Washington during the
war talk about his bravery,
courage, integrity and
honesty. It is hard to imag
ine the colonists would
have achieved what they
did without such strong
leadership. When
Americans won their inde
pendence, Washington
resigned his commission
and returned to Mount
Vernon. He immediately
returned to his love of
farming and restoring his
lands and estate to good
working order.
Meanwhile, our young
republic was anything but
unified. Chaos and angst
were building and
Washington, along with
other leaders. could see
some changes needed to
be made. Congress
approved a convention in
Philadelphia to make
some major changes. In
1789, Washington
received unanimous votes
from every elector in the
electoral college.
Washington was well
aware of how important
his presidency was — and
he didn’t want it to look
anything like a European
royal office. It was
Washington who wanted
to be called “Mr.
President” and not some
grandiose title. He also
didn’t want the $25.000
salary since he didn’t
need the money.
Congress. however, per

coupled with an image created by
Shepard to compose the wrap.
“Being able to have this oppor
tunity so early in my design career
was the biggest blessing
I could have received,” Shepard
said. “Many designers don’t come
in contact with a car wrap until the
senior stages of their career or per
haps never, so having this experi
ence under my belt is invaluable.”

In-Depth wraps has partnered with

the first year that Stick2lt students
have designed a wrap for a non

crucial advice for people
who are married or who
will marry is to stay
together and accept one

how difficult marriage
or a spouse can become.
“Just don’t try to

I can try to change him

never change anybody,”
Marjorie Reeves said.
“You have to come to

that question about me,

For John Reeves,
acceptance is just as
valuable in fatherhood as
in marriage. Along with
teaching children to face
duties and decisions in
life, he said support is a
key trait in a good father.
