While adding a modern look to the lah campus, they were also liked by most teachers. Chalk dust was a main culprit of chalkboards, leading teachers to favor white boards. I love them! I don't get chalk dust all over me, my clothes or in my lungs. Also, I can be creative with many different colors, said English teacher, Virginia Garner. English teacher, Judy Dunbridge, added, I am allergic to chalk dust, so I was really pleased to come here and find white boards. Of. course, an instant student at- tention grabber, employed by teachers, disappeared. Biology teacher Rick Valencia noted You can't run your fingernails down a white board! Mini Mag 199

Iggy, who measured about four feet long, was owned by Biology teacher Rick Valencia. Iggy answered questions about life as an iguana in this exclusive interview for Taurus. Taurus: How did you come to live with Mr. Valencia? Iggy: A student bought me at a pet store for a few dollars when I was only about five inces long. I-Ie couldn't keep me, so Coach Schaf- ferta friend of Mr. Valencia'sl got me and even- tually l came here to live. Its's like having two dads responsible for my moral upbringing. Taurus: What do you like to do when everyone leaves DBHS for the night? Iggy: Since the cage is unlocked, I can play around the room and do some extra studying before the next day. Taurus: What's it like living at school? Iggy: I love it. I get to be around the best high school students in 'the United States, and it's a thrill to see thebest students at work. IGUANA Mini Mag 2
