After a day' of school some teachers had the luxury of going home. But often their responsibilities didn tend at 2:55. Many teachers ended up spending at least a few late afternoons and evenings at the school for one obligation or another, sponsor- ing class activities ehaperoning dances working with students for contests and PTA open house were responsibilities that no one escaped completely. Other teachers involved in such areas as drama music and ath- letics worked with students before and after school almost daily. But choir director Vicki Davis and drama teacher Russell Sanders said the final product was worth the time and effort. Common problems for all teachers involved in these activities were finding enough time to work with every one, working around students' schedules, and their own family lives. Teachers didn't necessarily have to remain in the school build- ing to carry out all of their responsibilities. Grading papers was an obligation they could not escape but that could go home with them. 8 hours - dream on Q 182 Faculty cv Above: As a class sponsor in charge of the Junior Follies, business teacher Ann Plummer clears up plans before tht- dress rehearsal with senior Angela Wiley and freshmen Jerry Fcllt-rs and Ricky Huerta.
