Recently Joyce (Chisholm) Pound, '52, reflected on her days at USA. She recalls: "I was not a typical student of the class of 1952 but my needs were met by USA. Besides the basic education, I was given a good start in music USA THE which has been such an important part of my life and a means of release from my shyness. "My husband started his teaching career at USA and we have many lifelong friends from both students and staff.

Today students continue to have rewarding experiences at USA. As a WITH A senior, Anthony Daherty describes what USA means to him: "Union Springs Lcademy for me was a place to start over. I was in a fairly largepublic school prior to being here. At that time I was really 'sloping' as far as my grades were concerned. USA gave me an opportunity MISSION AT to change that around and now I'm doing much better. Also, USA has been a spiritual highlight since I'm not a Seventh-day Adventist but plan to be one in the future. I have made lots of friends and the faculty are easy to talk to. I keep very busy and am hardly ever bored because of the activities and HOME events that areplanned." What is it that enables Union Springs Academy to maintain this rich tradition of excellence? Those associated with the school believe that its spiritual emphasis and commitment to high academics are part of the secret. Other contributing factors are the continuity of a strong faculty retention rate and sti, Wive alumni. Last year alone, USA Alumni contributed more than ',31,200 just in unrestricted gifts. As USA passes this 70th ste pping-stone with pride, an even greater anniversary can be seen ahead in five years. In human terms, 75 years is IN MEXICO a ripe life span. For Union Springs Academy, 75 years has barely brought us out of infancy. We have a promising future as God continues to bless us until He returns.
