FLEMING " | can be a good friend to students —a friend in the sense that takes it beyond just the normal role of the high school counselor,” said Dave Fleming summing up his job. Fleming feels that he can have a better relationship with students if he gets to Know them in their own environment, instead of limiting contact to his office. Fleming’s activities, Student Council sponsor, Pep Club advisor, and Bicycling Club advisor, have helped to give him the direct student exposure which he strives toward. Fleming attended lowa State on a basketball scholarship. While working as a graduate assistant, he coached basketball and tennis at lowa State. Fleming’s athletic interest did not end when he left lowa State. His enthusiasm for sports has continued in his eight years at Ames High. In past years he has worked out with the basketball team. However, a knee condition has hampered his participation lately. Substitute teaching is another activity that takes Fleming outside the normal counseling realm. Having received his college degree in math, Fleming often helps the math department. He also assists the physical education department, teaching a unit on bicycle maintenance. Fleming spends much time outside of school with past and present students. ‘‘Many of my counseling relationships have become very strong friendships.’ Faculty 157 i A d 4 7 A 1 3 = e EE " - IF سا عو ور مت فز‎ A سے مر ے‎ uacua “ee ae u ww

ee HARTAN Ken Hartman, an Ames High chemistry teacher for 11 years, didn't want to make scientists out of high school students, but instead wanted the kids to see the fun in chemistry. Hartman always held an interest in science, but he never anticipated a teaching career. He always liked the Navy and thought that if he hadn't gone into teaching he might've been a naval officer. " One of the funniest things that ever nappened to me at Ames High was when ۱ went to point at the periodic chart my pointer went right through the chart.” He added, ''It took the class one-half of the period to recover from that one.’ Hartman liked to spend his summers taking it easy. He was involved in a Bible school program and loved to sail and camp. One of Hartman's goals as a teacher was to improve the public's general knowledge of chemistry. Hartman thought that all teachers should be on the look out for new methods to improve education. Hartman said, ‘‘People sometimes get a mad scientist image of chemistry teachers and | try hard to dispel that. We're normal human beings.” 158 Faculty ۳ 1 Lj LU ۳ ۰ L 2 مت‎ ۳ P a4 ke H e " e . i P: us d Se n Me? si ee? um 1 LS é nn ®© 4 D t ê = Top Right: Jean Hagert, 2-D, drawing, commercial design.
