Mr. Eliades, algebra teacher and coach, shows the most enthusiasm ever compiled into one person. He loves his profession. He enjoys working with stu- dents and being able to contribute to each individual's education, but he en- joys coaching more. -QS. You develop closer relationships with the kids. You can help the youngsters more with individual problems while coaching than you can in the class- room,', he said. The classroom and coaching bring about new and strange experiences everyday. That's probably why he en- joys his work so much. He hopes to help young people who come into his class to prepare for what will happen in college and the future. Those of us who have braved the yell- ing, swift kicks, or broken rulers, have been able to see one of the finest teach- ers ever, perform in front of a chalk- board, giving his all for our well-being.

This is but one type of question that former stu- dents ask him as they quote one of his well-known quips while encountering him years later. This witty yet learned teacher regularly used humor to emphasize the impor- tance of politeness and responsibility. For example, on one occasion he jok- ingly fyet seriouslyj told a student to raise his lunch hook instead of inter- rupting a discussion or speaking out of turn. He hopes that his young student drivers will drive with care to reduce their chances of being stopped by the gen- darmesf' - still another of his funny sayings that activated the giggles of his female students. CBy the way, 'gen- darmes' is French for policemenj Through his actions, Mr. Grainger has indeed proved that what he likes best about teaching is in fact just being here with the kids and trying to help them to be more responsible. With both hands in action, Mr. Walt Grainger uses the left to call on a student while the right keeps a record of the responses. i ny.. .- ,.- I --5
