Y, Y, 7, ' Are A Competent Teecher' This Logo Could Be Seen Around Campus After The Arkansas Special Session ne of the most disputed issues this year was not who would win the Superbowl or the upcoming Olympics, but what would result from the special session and Bill Clinton's educational proposal. The proposed bill would require the teachers of Arkansas to take and pass a general competency exam. An alterna- tive to this national exam was to take six hours of high school level courses or above in their field. This special session brought on oppo- sition not only on Capitol hill, but also in the teacheris lounge. In response to the teacher testing recommendations Coach Marth Cothren replied, HI think itls great. I don't resent the test. I want to see Arkansas grow! In opposition to this view were math teachers Mrs. Mary Jane Beard and Mr. Mike Anderson. I think attention should be brought to education in Ar- kansas but I'm insulted because I have to take the test, commented Mr. An- derson. Although some teachers may have re- sented the test, most agreed that the state was working towards a better to- morrow. Expressing their views about the teacher testing bill tojunior yearbook staff member Mari lyn Shelton, are Mrs. Heard and Mr. Anderson Facultyf209

You may persuade a friend to go with you, but that could mean double troublef' Getting yelled at by a teacher or even possibly getting sent to the office can all be the result of a craving for a Coke or a bag of chips. Obviously, the lounge was meant to be a refuge. A place to relax and enjoy what little time teachers have to them- selves. Most teachers could be found just lounging around drinking a cup of coffee or smoking a cigarette and read- ing the newspaper. A few stood about and talked about their students and their problems. But some, such as Mr. Ken Willis, took advantage of the quiet time to have an afternoon nap. Looking over her daily schedule before school is Coach Martha Cothren. Faculty! 211
