c cf Capo ' s faculty and staff consists of a weird blend of individuals. We have among us a Teacher of the Year (Mr. Victor), two Ranns ' cheerleaders (Ms. Avetta and Ms. Faeta), a Colonel (Mr, Frost), and a Lord (Mr. Gipe). But despite all of their differences and diversity, they all share one common trait - DEDICATION. While most of us were enjoying sweet dreams, our teachers were battling Southern California ' s freeways, arriving at school as early as 6:30. And while most of them left the school by 3:30, they went home to high stacks of ungraded papers, spending an average of ten hours a week grading them. And if you ' re an English teacher, you can count on slaving over muddled com- positions for even longer. Preparing lesson plans takes up to another ten hours, but some of the teachers wisely did them during sum- mer vacation. And don ' t forget teachers who also act as club advi- sors or coach sports. During their season coaches spend up to 40 hours a week working with their teams, and 10-12 during the off-season. And when our teachers weren ' t teaching, they were learning. Some of them have obtained or are currently working on an advanced degree. Others regularly at- tend workshops and seminars to get new ideas. Still others give workshops and seminars — all of that amounts to more time spent bettering themselves as teachers and as people. Oh, wait, don ' t forget to count the time teachers spend calling parents, attending meetings, giving extra help, or fiddling with the xerox machine. Oh, and doesn ' t someone have to proctor Saturday school and teach summer school? (By the way, what do teachers like to do in their spare time? WHAT SPARE TIME?) Faculty
