L- V I b . ANGOTT by Elissa Sard Although Barbara Angott and Carol Wilson both attended the University of Detroit, they met because of their teach- ing jobs and their families ' rivalries in the dairy busi- ness. (The Angotts own Farm Maid and the Wilsons owned Wilson Dairy Com- pany). When Angott, who ma- jored in philosophy, first met Wilson, who majored in languages, she inquired as to whether or not Wilson had encountered the same hard teachers and profs as had Angott. Wilson ' s re- sponse was, No, I ma- jored in Floats. And thus, the rivalry which so greatly amuses their students be- gan. VS. WILSON She always seems to catch me in the hall when I ' m carrying balloons or posters, Wilson said of Angott. Wilson went on to explain that Angott ' s seri- ous teaching style is simply different, not better or worse, than her own. 1 believe that high school is a time to grow up, to have fun. You ' re still a kid in high school. You can deal with the hardships of the adult world when that time comes. Angott, displaying her typical indifference to- wards non-academic activi- ties stated, We were both educated in the same place, but I don ' t know what happened. Flashing a smile. Mrs. Wilson whole- heartedly supports Foreign Lan- guage Week. With confidence in her knowledge of theme. Miss Angott explains the intracacies of Creek tragedy. Junior Adam Ziegelman races to class while his Mrs. Crenshaw smiles at the prospect of hearing mind races to make up a feasible excuse for his yet another lame excuse for tardiness from one of tardiness. pholo by Paul Doner her students. pholo by Doug Engle William Schmidt — Math John Schuster — Dean Charlie Scott — Dean Peter Shaheen — English Mary Stefano — Foreign Language William Stiles — Foreign Language Lisa Sutherland — Aide Edward Taras — Social Studies Mary Ryan Taras — Social Studies Marjorie Taylor — English Mary Theisen — Math Richard Tincu — Ind.

Innovation or Agg rovotion? Imagine this . . . you ' re a new teacher standing in front of an English class of strangers at 7:40 a.m. Thirty pairs of eyes are looking everywhere except at you. Some students are sleeping, some are gazing aimlessly out the window, and others are facing the back wall with only their backs visible. As the first words barely squeak out of your mouth, these preoccu- pied adolescents slowly wake up, turn around, and place an illuminating stare on you as if they ' ve never seen a teacher before. You ' re a foreigner, an outsider, a stranger! Trying to get the attention of a class full of uninterested high school students is a bold challenge even for the most experienced instructor. Nevertheless, many of the new teachers at Seaholm met this challenge with undoubted success by presenting to their classes fresh ideas, new dimensions, and stimulating techniques. Whether straight out of college or trans- ferred from a previous school, all the new teachers have to deal with the attitudes and concepts of our students, along with their by Heather Burch fellow staff members. Junior Alan Nealley, a student in John Prisciandaro ' s pre-engineering drafting class, states that his teacher brings new depth to the class because of his wide knowledge and experience in the trade. Alan also pointed ou t, Mr. Prisciandaro went to Seaholm when he was in high school and this helps him relate to the expectations that Bir- mingham students have of their teachers. A new counselor in our building, recently from Berkshire Middle School, is Judith Kalter. She believes that being new to Seaholm is advantageous because of the numerous course selec- tions which create a variety of electives available. Mrs. Kalter added, Seaholm has given me the opportunity to meet with a large spectrum of the school ' s population and also to work more with teachers. The majority of Seaholm ' s students realize the difficulty in approaching a class full of strangers and give their new teachers credit for their bravery and hard work. My first day in this building was thrilling. I ' m honored to teach here and be o port of the Seaholm faculty. -Linda Perronek Michael O ' Donnell — Social Studies Carl Pendracki — Phys. Ed.

' Excuses, Excuses: Some Comic Relief Q: What makes a teacher laugh the loudest? A: The outlandish excuses students give for tardiness and incomplete home- work. When a teacher is feeling slightly down or blue, all that ' s needed to bring a smile to his face is a student with some outrageous excuse as to why the day ' s homework is not in the student ' s possession. From the beginning of time stu- dents have offered as ex- cuses for tardiness and missing homework a wide range of explanations, some of which are more than humorous. But, stu- dents beware. Don ' t think all teachers are naive. They ' ve heard most of these stories from paper-eating dogs to burning houses and just when you think you ' ve pulled it off, the teacher gets the last laugh. When in desperate need of a good excuse there is always the old standby of the dog ate my paper . But nowadays it seems as though students are becoming more inventive in their story-telling. Math teacher Joe Ponczocha said with a chuckle, The best excuse for missing homework came from by C. Lamarche senior Buffy Martin. Evidently, her car, contain- ing her pre-calculus books, was stolen and naturally she couldn ' t turn in her work. I got a big kick out of that one. Junior Wendy Broughton also gave an amusing excuse to her Algebra II teacher, Sam Morgan. After a basketball game at Farmington, 1 rushed to the bus, explained Broughton, and suddenly we were half way home and I realized my Algebra was still in the Farmington gym. Car trouble seems to be a major cause of legitimate excuses. Senior Kristin Fitzpatrick was late to Kathy Young ' s Spanish class because I locked the keys in my car at Burger King and was stranded there. Next time you walk up to a teacher with a prepared excuse as to why your homework is missing, remember that teachers have heard them all. Better yet, why not break the bad habits of being late for class or not having homework completed on time so that you will never be put in that awkward position of weaving a fool-proof tale that may begin, A funny thing happened to me ... Moking up q good ex- cuse rhot c teacher will believe is on art in itself. It takes o very creative or weird mind. - Tom Freydl NOT PICTURED: Ann Angelocci Barbara Angott Marilyn Arner Sue Babb Cheryl Baldrce Jeanette Behm Chrystyna Benford Marie Bond Lee Bostwick Ernest Cooper Arthur Delvero Sally Dikeman Betty Elkins Gail Greene Thomas Hammel Virgil Harris Michael Harvey Rosemary Herman Veda Kennedy Elaine Knapp Steve Larsen Debbie Loupee Sybil Lucken Jo Mason Karl Meade Betty McColl Lois Owen Helen Pappas Linda Petranek Celia Ransom Ron Reid James Schachem Georgiana Scott Charles Skinner James Stephen Penelope Sloner Mildred Swart William Tall Sherman Tarrant James Taylor Tom Weesies Ken Wright Kathy Young James Wallendorf — Principal Ceraldine Walter — Social Studies Gerard Wardach — Social Studies Carol Warner — Secretary Helene Weiss — Special Ed.
