A good teacher remains a student, for when a person ceases to learn he becomes stagnant and stale. At Fairmont, most of our teachers gain more knowledge by attending special work- shops and meetings and by reading periodicals dealing with their subiects, while many attend night school and summer sessions at various colleges and universities throughout the country. It is no wonder that our teachers have inspiring new ideas. Miss Leah Funck, East unit speech teacher, helps Jack Willis with his speech. - M -1-ifi.: -izisaasi:sgasfc1 .m S 4

For a teacher can do so much more than lust to present his subiect matter to the students. He can give a part of himself to his students, a part of his own philoso- phy, something to live by. ln doing this, the teacher goes beyond the four walls of the classroom and becomes a part of his students.
