Meet The Teacher
of the Year
Glenridge's
Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Mary Stebbins, has also been elected
Teacher of the Year for Winter Park, she will be competing with
teachers throughout Florida for the Teacher of Florida.
Mrs. Stebbins has had twenty-two years of teaching
experience; four years at Avon Park, twelve years at Cherokee,
three years at Howard, and three at Glenridge.
Mrs. Stebbins was motivated toward a teaching
career by both her grandmother and mother, who were teachers.
And also by her desire to help young people and prepare them for
their future.
College training for Mrs. Stebbins includes
work at the University of Georgia and Florida State.
In this day of teacher shortages it is interesting
to know what prompted this outstanding teacher toward a career
in teaching. Mrs. Stebbins says, "I consider teaching a profession
providing the greatest satisfaction through helping others."
"To me, it is not enough to merely present
subject material to the best of my ability. The greatest satisfaction
derives from aiding young people to establish a sound set of standards,
to assume the responsibility of living, and to approach all areas
of life in the spirit of service. It is just as important for
teenagers to learn about the ways to live as it is for them to
absorb subject material."
These students who have been privileged to study
with Mrs. Stebbins will agree that her personal attitude toward
life has been an inspiration to them.

"The
Sunbonnet Girl" is coming April 29! Save the date, save
the dough, and see our first school musical show!
Perhaps you have heard the glee club practicing
the lilting tunes during sixth period, or watch the orchestra
launching into the rousing overture that will begin the play.
Maybe you had a chance to make one of the sunbonnets the girls
in the cast will wear, or worked late at night painting the
scenery. That's the fun of a dramatic performance -- so many
people have a hand in the preparations.
The story of the operetta revolves around
the trials and tribulations of a talented orphan, played by
Sharon Sindad, who has been left in the guardianship of a miserly
and crotchety old couple, played by Paula Banzhaf and George
Newton. These two are determined to thwart the girl's one desire
-- a theatrical and musical career.
The play opens with music auditions being
given to the young people of the town in order to determine
which one deserves the prize -- a music scholarship. The Sunbonnet
Girl, aided by the towns most eligible young man, not only wins
the scholarship but the heart of the fellow, too.
The supporting cast include Sally Lovett,
Gary Ford, Melodie Eddy, Bill Benner, Carol Parkman, Patricia
Dowling, Fred Marshall, Pam Fetrow, Susan Goetzen, Judy Garren,
and Verne Kowalke.
The entire production is under the direction
of Mrs. Richard Weidley.
