f ,i 5 C...,,v Eff 5 if -31 4 l A rs Y. A L' rr' N ve , Simon Patrick takes advantage of a free moment and grades Class 5 tests. simon PATRICK Math, Soccer, and an English accent all mean one thing, Patrick makes his grand debut. The first thing you notice about Mr. Patrick is his Eng- lish accent. It really isn't English, however, since he was born in Toronto, Canada. He lived there only a short time, as he and his family moved to Pennsylvania and then to St. Louis. He went to Washington University and was training to play soccer un- til a head injury cut his career short. After graduating from Washington University, he at- tended Purdue. That's the basics, here's the rest. To begin with, his rela- tionship with his wife is far from usual. Although he mar- ried in 1979, he and his wife have seen very little of each other. She works as a systems analyst in Dallas while he teaches at Country Day. They see each other on weekends. In addition, he and his wife have a finch collection. What start- ed out as just a couple birds has grown to forty-two, and at one time, there were as many as seventy. After teaching class 6 and class 5 algebra for a year, Mr. Patrick said he likes the atmo- sphere of the school. He also said he enjoyed helping Doc Kalmar coach varsity soccer. What impresses most people about Mr. Patrick is his friendliness and positive atti- tude. Not only does he have a sense of humor, but he also of- fers special help to students during and after class. He's flexible, so kids can learn what he's teaching. As Kevin Kerber aptly put it, He teaches the way kids want to learn. by Bob McKelvey Faculty!2.27
