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

Watching You Watching Me Traditionally school was a time away from parents, and the only exposure parents received was from conferences, Booster Club meetings, and dinner ta- ble talk. But, for several parents on campus this was not so — mainly because they were also teachers. However, among the many apparent disadvan- tages some benefits were evident. Counselors ap- pointments and schedule changes are made quickly and easily, and papers needing last minute parental signatures were just a few enjoyed by an elite group of students whose parents were also members of the staff. Watching each other were: Mr. Merlene, Greg and Laurie: Mrs. Atchinson, and Donna: Mr. Vasquez and Mario: and Mr. Sebring, and Sarah. Nancy Cheryl Ron Wylie Yates Zirker Special Ed. Home Ec.
