I would have been a good start to- wards home. Ever wonder if you had the opportunity to star in a soap opera? Career specialist, Mrs. Wilson, would have been the one to confide in. When help was to be found involving health or ca- reers, both Ms. Hopfer and Mrs. Wilson were on hand to assist stu- dents in need. Health specialist, Ms. Hopfer, worked as a nurse for seven years. Her job included emergency first really enjoyed the age group I dealt with. I enjoyed the students and faculty and I was never bored with this position. It was really surpris- ing how many amazing injuries oc- curred. Ms. Hopfer commented. Ms. Hopfer worked as a psychiat- ric nurse during the summer. Career specialist, Mrs. Wilson, has been working in the career center since January, 1978. Start- ing at Rhodes Jr. High, she moved to Dobson when it first opened.

I liked the student contact and all of the con- tacts I made from the communi- ty, Mrs. Wilson said. Both Ms. Hopfer from the nurses office and Mrs. Wilson from the career center provided help to the students in need. They were always there to make life a little easier.

People? On campus, teachers may have seemed like un- feeling, heartless robots programmed to work, work, work, but once out of the classroom and off school grounds they became people too. Teachers, like their students, also liked to have fun. Popular weekend activities ranged from ASU foot- ball games, to the shopping malls, to their own back yard gardens. Dinner and the movies were also very common. Others had jobs on the side such as teach- ing classes at Mesa Community College, working part-time in restaurants, and last but not least, play- ing the roles of mothers and fathers. So, when students saw their teachers out in public, they shouldn’t have acted so surprised. Their lives didn’t stop at three o’clock! Floating downstream, Mr. Wiley takes a relaxing trip away from the frustrations of school. Mrs. Shrode and Mr. Turley break the rapids on the Green River in Utah during their hard earned summer vacation with no desire to ever return to school. staff 190 People
