c lassrooms provide good training for teachers Hf really enjoy teaching at Canyon Springs. The A Staff and administration are great and always ready to help, said Mr. Tim Knapp, a social studies student teacher. Knapp, who taught classes under the guidance of Canyon Springs teacher Mr. Frank Russell, had high praise for his peer. Mr. Russell is a terrific teacher, he said. He gave advice on everything from classroom behavior to organizational skills; he has helped me in many different ways. A belief in the importance of his subject led Knapp to choose the social sciences. Political Science is my big favorite, stated Knapp. I really want the students of today to understand that they are the leaders of tomorrow, and what a big responsibility that is.

His long-term plans were to be a teacher of math or science, to perhaps become an administrator, and eventually to teach overseas. In some cases, a teacher may face the possibility of teaching a son or daughter, and this was the case with Maciboba. There was a o- ' o chance that I would be placed at the same school as my daughter, and with my daughter ' s luck, I was placed at Canyon Springs, Maciboba joked. His daughter, Teri Maciboba, arranged to have her classes changed to avoid being placed in her father ' s class. Maciboba also got experience in extra-curricular activities by helping coach the freshman baseball team. 98 Staff, M.llei

B ehind the scenes works a special effects man Visiting the head custodian ' s office, one might see a severed hand or a rotted skull lying around. No, it isn ' t the real thing. It ' s the work of a makeup-special effects artist, daytime custodian Brook Adams. What IS a makeup special effects artist? He is the one who makes movies like Friday the 1 3th seem real and makes characters like the wolfman come alive. That kind of work is what Adams does. He does makeup special effects and creates some me- chanical effects, such as moving body parts for props. He first became interested in makeup special ef- fects in his TV production class in high school. A group of his friends got together and needed a special effects man for their class project. He volun- teered to be that man, and he found he liked the challenges special effects presented. That started a hobby he hopes to someday make into a full-time career. He has not yet participated in a motion picture, but there is always the future. Does he think he will work someday in major motion pictures? Yes, he answered. Yes, I really do. I hope someday I ' ll have the opportunity to work with the professionals in Hollywood. He has made several i6-mm clips, including The Invocation, which will be appearing on cable television. It is a short clip in which Bloody Mary comes to life in front of three children. It ' s really gory, Adams said. Some people have seen some of his work already. For Halloween he did a display at Rancho Cinema for the movie Friday The 1 th-Part IV. He worked on the display with his friend and helper. Ken Banks. Ken Banks really helps me a lot, Adams said. Another friend and teacher was Rick Baker, who did all the make-up special effects for the movie An American Werewolf In London and for Michael Jackson ' s Thriller video. Through knowing Banks and Baker, Adams has had the opportunity to meet other Hollywood professionals. His experiences have included attend- ing a Hollywood special effects party. It was fun, he said. I got to meet a lot of people that do what I like to do. Adams really enjoys doing special effects as a hobby. He points out, though, that working in the trade is a harder activity than you may think. Most special effects men work 1 2 hour days, and the work IS very expensive. For example, to make a cast of someone ' s head could cost between 400 and ?6oo and take up to one full day. This makes it an expensive skill to learn, since Adams either gives away or sells most of his cre- ations. He really enjoys special effects as a hobby now and hopes, one day, to scare people for a living. Sue Lacoste S.; dance. phvSK.il education; pep squ.id adviser, assistant ath- letic direitor Dana T.
