► ' In transit. SuzyCohune talks with Mark Ransdell in between classes. Often the only opportunity to catch up with people came during the five minutes found passing in the halls. Of course learning about the Battle of Bull Run or how to do integration problems was important, but from 8:05 to 3:05 we learned something more. We learned how to relate to people and how to see school as a whole — not as just a sports-place or a study-place. We found that the time spent talking with friends : during lunch was equally important as the recitation of a Spanish II dialogue.

At first he scared us — ' If you don ' t think you can handle it he said, ' then you had better drop the class now. ' That was only a challenge to make us prove to him that we could do the work. Even if you were ready to quit — give up math all together, he would take you aside and inspire you to get back in there and keep trying. When we began the task of studying for the AP test he was right there to help us. If we had a problem with related rates or integration he ' d help us before school, after school or anytime in between. He tried to make math something exciting. I remember the time we had to figure out how many gifts ' my true love ' gave in the Twelve Days o f Christmas. It was little extras like that that made his class interesting. We saw him at the chalkboard, we saw him as a starter for the afterschool track meets, we saw him clad in his leather jacket seated atop his motorcycle. But most of all we saw Duane Fee as an individual dedicated to helping us learn. DEDICATION
