Thank God It's Teachers could be as human as everyone else. Mondays weren’t on the top of their Most Favorite I.ist cither. Contrary to widely-held notions, they didn't spend every waking moment plotting how much homework they could pile on hapless pupils before the weekend. They also looked forward to being liberated on Friday afternoons. Students weren’t the only ones with big plans for the weekend. I love Fridays. exclaimed Miss Raetzch. But I hate thinking about them on Mondays, it's just too depressing. Some teachers enjoy their students so much that they wanted to spend time with them on weekends. Ms. Joan Vallee always wanted her biochemistry class to go camping one weekend, but she decided to have a crawfish boil instead. Other teachers supervised clubs. Mrs. Gloria and Edna Wegener accompanied the Latin club to convention at L.S.U. I always enjoy chaperoning my students at convention, explained Mrs. G. Wegener. Each year I always say ’Never again,' but I manage to do it anyway. It’s definitely with the family,” declared business teacher Mrs. Cynthia Bertrand about her weekends. Last year we got a camper so we were able to spend time in Galveston and Natchitoches.” Do I like weekends? asked Mrs. Jean Marnien. Certainly! When I’m through grading papers my husband and I like to work in the yard or travel. We sold our ski boat and now we want to buy a pontoon. Then we can float lazily down the river doing absolutely nothing. ONE LAST SWEEP. Mary Duhon tidies up a table just before quilling time. FRIDAY LUNCHEON.

Thank God It's FRIDmY (con’t....) Oh I really like Fridays! Mrs. Sara Toro, the Spanish teacher, thrilled. jMc gusto mucho! El dia mas mijorde la semana! (Translation: It's the best day of the week.) I love Fridays because they're the day before the weekend, stated P.E. coach, Ms. Fay Conner. I play ball on the weekends. I enjoy doing outdoor activities on my weekends, confided drafting instructor Mrs. Janet Paulk,. I enjoy crabbing, fishing, or watching the horses at the race track.” Mrs. Connie MacDonald enjoyed playing with her children in the back yard. Mrs. Sister Ezell usually sat by the pool getting sun, but she was planning a new experience. I'm taking my kids to see Van Halen in Baton Rouge. she explained. We'll be sitting in the front row. I've never been to a concert like it'll be. I might bring earplugs. The faculty spent as much time as possible enjoying the great outdoors. Mr. East liked to spend his weekends fishing, boating, and hunting. I like to shoot fish, he joked about the two-day respites. The school secretaries were equally enthusiastic about the weekends. I play any kind of card game, answered Mrs. Lucille Gauthreaux. Sometimes I go fishing with my husband. I like to work in my yard and I have some pretty rose bushes. I go to New Orleans to visit my sister during Mardi Gras every year. Sometimes we go to Houston to visit my husband's sister. The faculty's favorite pastimes seemed to be centered around the family and being outdoors. They could get into the swing of the weekend as easily as students. So although teachers and pupils sometimes were struggling in battles of the wills, they could still be in agreement on one fact: Thank God it's Friday! — MARSHALL THE TRUE SPONSOR. Diane Goodacrc collapses after a draining day of supervising the preparations for Prom. TWIDDLING HER THUMBS. Teachers were required to stay on campus until 3:50 despite the earlier time for first hour. Phyllis Wilson anxiously awaits the hell to go home. CHECKING THE TIME. Margaret Lundy synchronises her watch w ith the school clock so she won't lose any time in getting home. Faculty — 171
