The institute will focus on the philosophy, content, and application of Georgia's new English curriculum in sec ondary schools. It is also de signed to acquaint partici pants with recent research Jonesboro High School Grads Os the 300 graduates from Jonesboro, more than 60 had been accepted by the college of their choice before grad uation. Undoubtedly more of these young people will be finding their paths to ad vanced learning during the Summer months. Enough has never and will never be said of these young people who grasp at the opportun ity of learning, or of the teachers who are dedicated to their task, or of the Su perintendents and Principals to whom it is more than just a iob. It is “A Way of Life.” Just as a plane crash or car wreck draws unlimited attention, so does the teen ager who steps beyond the line drawn by society and/or the law. earn our censure. We hear little or nothing of the many planes which complete their flights safely, or of the thousands of cars that are never involved in a wreck So it is with the greatest of confidence we view the influx of the Grad uating Class of 1968 May they always walk in the sun shine that their shadows may fall behind. in the areas of language, literature, and composition. The 1968 English institute will be directed by Dr. Paul H. Bowdre, Jr., professor of English and head of the De partment of English at West Georgia College. A total of 34 high school teachers have been selected for participa tion. The institute is supported by the United States Office of Education as authorized under Title XI of the Na tional Defense Education Act, as amended. f I ■«■!■!.!■ — ■ III.H ■ I I fcjycxS?®^® Xs^toOUrGRADS ll« ill KmKUI nAi IF p *w 1 A'AKI SSB Brlli' mH ^lw CARTERS CLEANERS & LAUNDRY 954 Main St., Forest Park 366-5750 BEST WISHES for your / jw H CONTINUED ; \ J SUCCESS!

Fountain High in Retrospect As we approach the end of another school year, we boast proudly of the many outstanding achievements, accomplished by our stu dents and teachers. Our progressive minded teachers play a major role in all these accomplish ments. First, we ourselves believe in education. Three fourths of the staff attended summer school, workshops, or are presently enrolled in graduate work in order to improve themselves. Stu dents are encouraged by the principal and teachers to strive hard to meet competi tion wherever they face it, whether in education or in extra curricular activities. We are proud of the fact that we have three students. Virginia Arnold, John Ho gan and Annie Lockhart who participated in the Gov ernor's Honor program. An nie Delores Lockhart and Virginia Arnold competed nationally for scholarships. As a result of their applica tion to academic work, they received a Summer Session Scholarship, with all ex penses paid, including trans portation to Phillips Acad emy in Andover. Mass. Phillips Academy is among the top “prep” schools in the country. There are several students in various areas and depart ments who won high honors and recognition for the school and themselves, namely. Harriette Sims, a two time winner in science. She won first place in the Region VI Science Fair, and third place in the State fair held at the University of Georgia in Athens. Virginia Arnold won sec ond p’ace honors in the Elks Regional Oratorical Contest in Atlanta, competing against eight other schools in the Atlanta area. Burma Searcy won second place in the Fire Prevention Orator ical Contest which was held at Babb Junior High recent ly. The athletic program at Fountain did not lag. even though we did not win in the district. There are many individuals however, who were outstanding to the ex tent of having received ath letic scholarships. The Federal Bureau of In vestigation Training Center has found a happy hunting ground at Fountain, in that several students are re cruited each year to work for a good salary in the na tion’s capital. Last year eleven students accepted a position with this depart ment in Washington. This year. Jerry Gibson. Jim Slaughter, and Harriette Knight have been accepted, while others are awaiting communications. The Rotary Club of Forest Park has been very influen tial in encouraging good cit izenship and leadership among our students. The fol lowing students were guests of this club for several weeks, Aaron Carter, Frances War ner. Carol Williams and Ad die Joe Mitchell. As a result of their cooperation and dedication, and personal in terest, they were awarded certificates of merit The principal, Mr. M. D. Roberts, was the guest speaker of the Rotary Club in March. This was far reaching in its im plication in helping to bring about mutual understanding and good will. Frances Warner was voted the Student of the Month for November. Carol Ann Al len has been awarded a scholarship to study in prep aration for a laboratory technician. Other seniors have received scholarships to study in various colleges and technical schools. They are Addie Joe Mitchell, Carol : Williams, George Shy, Oc tavia Clemmons and Samuel Meadows. M w x ■ A Jr *B IP h ia^^ja ® ‘MI/ Z* wB here w you, Grads!! THE BEST OF LUCK!
