,--1, .ffl :Z - fncuuu You ha fe been asked the question, What is our school? Maybe it is the faculty. There certainly is no question about their academic training. All our teachers have their Bachelor's degrees, and sixteen of them have their Master's degrees. Besides teaching, the teachers have other interests. Some would be described as a hobby and others would be necessary duties. Many of the students never picture a teacher doing any- thing but teaching. In the following pages we have tried to illustrate as nearly as possible the ways the teachers occupy their time out of school. These pictures we consider unusual and reveal- ing. We have enjoyed visiting the teachers in their homes, and hope that you will enjoy learning more of their personalities and ways of living. 359' MISS DONNA CRAWFORD, on the left, and MISS ALICE SCHAFMAN, on the right are secretaries in the business office of Community Unit School District 100.
