Familiar Faces Some Subs Have Become Almost As Familiar To Students As The Faculty ubstitutes. Since junior high school, this word could strike fear or joy into the hearts of thsoe who heard it. In some circumstances, it could mean tak- ing it easy that school day. But for oth- ers, it meant working just as hard or even harder than when the teacher was there. Even though there are 20 to 30 sub- stitutes available, 7 regulars have be- come as familiar as many faculty mem- bers, in fact so familiar that students have affectionately given nicknames to these Usubsf' Mrs. Lucy Ray has earned the name Sarge because she believes in enforcing the rules and students obeying her orders. Mrs. Stovie Mc- Clure affectionately became known as Mrs Mac. Mrs. Paulette Long be- came used to the Red because of her eye-catching red hair. Not all subs have been here long enough to earn a nickname, but some have become well known by other spe- cial traits. Mr. Richard Mimms has a degree in elementary education and is certified as a curriculum specialist. Mrs. Vickie Cotton, a former student, decid- ed that she wanted to return to the classroom but not as a student. I was tired of sitting around the house. I've enjoyed being a substitute, at lease most of the time. Although many students enjoy the 1: .1-1. .eggs . S - ESHHL substitutes, the extra work assigned by teachers was not too popular. Many substitutes have no say-so about the work assigned, but they do have to en- sure the teachers that the students car- ry out the assignment. As senior Lana Hunecker said, The substitutes are real friendly and fun. I just don't like all the busy work.

You Are Our Sun hine The Best Of The West Earns A Well Deserved Rest n the eighteen year history of our school, many students and teachers have passed through these halls. One familiar person often seen in A-wing was that of Miss Susie West. A legend in her own time, Miss West has taught students and children of former stu- dents. Miss West, whose career has spanned over 32 years, has maintained many high standards for her students. Al- though she has strict rules and tough standards, she has gained many friends and admirers that will always remem- ber her. In addition to being an excellent teacher, she has been helpful outside the classroom. She has given of herself by helping students to obtain jobs and scholarships to walking with 1983 gra- duate Charles Jackson whose mother could not attend the basketball Home- coming game. She developed the concept of depart- mental heads, positions which were later created in all of the Pulaski coun- ty schools. Besides giving 110'Zi of her- self as a teacher, she also takes time to recognize the high achievers in her classes and the athletes who excelled on the court and field. Miss West has had many student teachers under her supervision, includ- ing senior English teacher Mrs. Martha Humbard and junior English teacher Mrs. Nancy Jones. Mrs. Jones com- mented on Miss West's legendary orga- nization: Miss West lost her keys, and she found them in the filing cabinet under 'K'. As anyone knows who has walked into her classroom, Miss West is a col- lector of suns. She also has twenty- three sun necklaces from all over the world which she has added to her sun paraphenalia. Of course, her favorite color is yellow. She has become one of the most en- during traditions of our school's histo- ry, and we will miss her as she retires to her home in Russellville. Representing all of the past and pre- sent mighty Lions, we wish to pay tri- bute to this master teacher. As a dutiful teacher, Miss Susie West reads the morning announcements. Surrounded by a few of her sunshines is Miss Susie West. 2l4fS11Sl6 3'l1llwr ,,,WV if
