p JL ersonnel “I don’t want to grow old. JVhy’s everybody pushing me sof” One reason that working in modern schools is a discipline—far more difficult than any academic discipline—lies in the fine line that teachers and administrators must draw between what students are capable of doing and what they want the students to achieve. Teachers must at one time accept the child for what he is and yet force him to be different and mold his own identity. Members of the faculty must shape attitudes, instill values, and correct misapprehensions. Being a teacher is being a part time parent only on a broader level. Here in our town, school personnel maintain a firm relationship with the student body by always stressing that students should be pleased with their successes but never satisfied that they have reached their potential. MAKING repairs on the school building a workman ascends a scaffold to inspect the work already done on the smokestack. IVELDERS add the finishing touches to part of the gas heat system installed during Christmas vacation. 16
