Metzler stimulates profound thinking An Oxford Scholar at Douglas County High School? Such preposterous claim can be legitimately made by this school reference to one of its most distinguished educators, Ms. osemary Metzler. Ms. Metzler, whose undergraduate and 'aduate work was done at University of Denver, pursued her udies in British Literature at Oxford, England's oldest iiversity, and, indeed, one of the world's cultural meccas. Ms. Metzler was prompted to teach due to her interest in orking with young adults in a field she thoroughly enjoys, lritish literature. Described Ms. Metzler, I enjoy teaching id I am very dedicated to it. In addition to enjoying orking with young adults, Ms. Metzler explained that her mily always emphasized reading which sparked her :dication to literature. This, in addition to her love of travel, vmbined to form a dynamic drive which Ms. Metzler offered her students. Ms. Metzler's dedication to her students was made evident I her objectives. Summarized Ms. Metzler, My objective as teacher is to have my students be their best, and to have em use all the potential they have. Fulfilling experiences for a teacher such as Ms. Metzler ere abundant, including Le'a Kentls acceptance to Stanford niversity. Le'a was the valedictorian of 1985 and one of Ms. ietzler's A.P. English students. I enjoy seeing my students cceed at what they want to do, beamed Ms. Metzler. Besides teaching at Douglas County, Ms. Metzler has aveled and taught in such far off lands as the Middle East nd Africa, where she taught teachers how to teach English. Expressed Junior Timothy Owens, I think that it's lcouraging to have a teacher whose main interest is working th high school students and offers personal experiences from xford and travel abroad. She's great and offers nothing but e best. It was apparent that Ms. Metzler's efforts and dedication ere well received by her students. Commented Kathy cLimans, senior, I think she is a unique and very amusing acher who uses outstanding teaching methods. t +1 QQ is sfgiw L Matt Wigdahl Not Pictured: Steve Ball Cathy Johnson Paula Reed Mark Voorhies Jerry Bley Edna Doherty Kate Fields Fran Henry Rosemary Metzler Gretchen Nagel Lee Patton Paulette Resling
