'wi 5 , at Laughing, .loking With Students Keeps Mr. Fanning Young The relationship between teacher and student was much more than simply the giving out and taking in of information. For Mr. Dick Fanning, a teacher and coach at Air Academy, the exper- ience of being an educator keeps him young. To a certain degree, a coach relives his youth through his team. Seeing kids play under pressure, testing themselves: 961 Faculty sports provide that kind of oppor- tunity, he commented. Mr. Fanning has taught biology and coached baseball at Air Academy for seven years. Teaching is such a positive job. Laughing and joking around with kids helps me to retain my youth. I teach for enjoyment, but the va- cations aren't bad either! Reminiscing about the baseball season, Mr. Dick Fanning tells an antecdote to his biology class Caboveb. lntently watching over his class's activities, Mr. Fanning makes sure that all of the microscopes are returned to the cabinet Ctopj.

Mr. Marshall has been a teach- er at Air Academy for 11 years, and has also coached boys' soccer and hockey. Recently he took on the job of coaching girls' soccer as well.

Teaching is more a joint effort whereas with coach- ing I can get to know the kids personally and make a difference in them. The relationship between coach and player is a very unique one, and Mr. Marshall definitely enjoyed his role as a coach. l don't know if l'd be a teacher if l couldn't coach. Coach- ing is a big part of why l got into teaching. lt's asuper experience. Making sure that no one in his Rocky Mountain High class touches the volley- ball net, Mr. Wayne Marshall takes a break from his busy hockey schedule Caboveb. Using the hockey team's last game as a guideline, Mr. Wayne Mar- shall decides the strategy of the Kadet's next match-up Ctopb.
