neither rain nor snow nor . . . Beyond the brain molding-and-washing classroom processes, ladies of the office tend to the technicalities of keeping school in control. Look! See Mrs. Huebner successfully an- swer the phone, respond to a question, write a pass and locate a truant teacher at the same time. See Mr. Wittmer and his assist- ants manage a library of 30 rowdys. Watch girls deliver slips and run errands; these are office helpers — they last about 50 min- utes each. Three A-V men scurry about delivering projectors, film and strange machines to teachers in need of visual aid. That smiling Dutchman, Mr. Mueller, fits right into the ecology age by flying about polishing campus and repairing the damage of overactive children. The annex puts out delightfully mimeo- graphed puzzles known as tests along with many other chores, the business women prove that they can maneuver the Ameri- can dollar. See them trudging home with a swal- lowed the canary smile? Deep inside they realize they ' re the backbone of our ability to keep on truckin ' .

Detour to a Cutback) Ronald Clawson Advanced Bible Study Shifting administrative responsibility resulted in some teachers being unable to teach the classes assigned to them. In mid-summer some of these classes still needed an instructor. This problem was coped with in a way unique in the history of Lutheran High. Someone scrounged around the neighborhood churches and found pastors who ' d come and teach only one period every day. Not all of them had ever taught high school students be- fore and those who hadn ' t ran their classrooms in a very original way. Differing from the common procedures felt kind of uncomfortable for students during the first few weeks. Adapting to the changes helped students to look at things from a whole new viewpoint. This expansion of in- sight and awareness seldom occurs in the usual classroom situation. A man who teaches one class puts his best effort into it because it ' s the only one he has. He won ' t settle so easily for a dead-beat class as the instructor handling six courses. It ' s important to the one-period teacher that his students be caught up in the enthusiasm he feels. Having someone teach only one class makes that class a sampling of what Lutheran High is like. Realizing this en- courages students to work harder in that class. There are many advantages to having one-period teachers, and per- haps this phenomenon bears repeating in future years.
