De- spite the fact that she faces a mob of freshman English novices every day. she manages to work with the Cheer- leaders, Pom Pons, and the Mascot (probably as an anti- dote). When she is not busy being in three places at once, she enjoys sewing, reading, and playing violent volleyball with vicious English students. Miss Carole Dement is another of those poor souls who has to face the freshmen in English. To make it worse, she is a new teacher and hasn't had the time to prepare herself for this impossible task. As she finds the time, she sews, travels, reads, and listens to music. Mrs. Joan Sternberg is another first-year teacher here, al- though she substituted a bit last year. A graduate of the Dominican College in Wisconsin, she majored in English and minored in Spanish. Although faced with sophomore Eng- lish, she feels that it is just another fact of life and takes it in stride. Such are the makings of great teachers! Mrs. Sternberg, sophomore English instructor, enjoys the creative fields such as reading and writing. A graduate of Marquette University in Wisconsin. Miss Rausch ma- jored in History and minored in English. Miss Dement loves English. French, and kids. She has to. While in college she studied the first two. and now teaches the third.
