tudent-teacher relations had changed from the golden days, when teachers towered over their classes with hickory sticks in their hands. Today teachers even enjoyed being friends with students. Mrs. Jackie Dyer said that the main reason she got along with her students was that she taught an elective. They took the course on their own will, so there is usually no hesitation to question the teacher, she said. Mrs. Lois Tyler liked working with her students on an individual basis and tried to provide an atmosphere where students felt wanted. Teachers should try to remember what it was like when they were in school, said Miss Paullette Landers. Miss Landers also believed that teachers should consider the student's problems away from school. Most teachers agreed what there was a need for respect between students and teachers. In fact, Miss Angela Students and teachers should treat each other in the same way. -Mrs. Debbie Fulbright, Resource. Sears said that the main reason she liked to teach kindergarten was because younger students look up to the teacher. Mrs. Debbie Fulbright and Mrs. Georgia Wells said that respect was the main way student-teacher relations has changed. There is less respect for authority today, said Mrs. Wells. Students and teachers should treat each other with the same amount of respect, added Miss Carolyn Carpenter. Dr. Robert Sullenger said that since teachers couldn't adjust to every student's personality, students should adjust to the teacher's personality. Teachers used to be up on a pedestal, he said. Now they are just another person. ln today's schools there is a much more relaxed atmosphere in the classroom. -Miss Carolyn Carpenter, Practical Government. As a counselor it is a lot easier to cope with the students' problems than it was when I was a teacher. -Miss Paulette Landers, guidance counselor. The main thing that could improve student- teacher relations in today's schools is improved mutual respect. -Mrs. Georgia Wells, English 201, English 202. Teachers should treat students like human beings They should also try to understand the students' problems. -Dr. Robert Sullenger, vice-principal. School hours! 147 'N

he 3:20 bell didn't mean the end of school work for most teachers who took home tests and homework to grade and lessons to prepare. I spend a lot of time grading daily work and tests. My other time is spent preparing for my lessons, said Mrs. Joanna Parker, who taught biology and sponsored Interclub Council. Mrs. Parker spent 10 hours a week on school work, most of it grading tests. Naval science teacher Clifford Burks worked with the drill team, rifle team and color guard. I spend around 15 hours a week after school on school work, Burks said. English teacher Mrs. Mary Bass worked from two hours each night to six hours a week on tests and grading daily work. I enjoy learning new information or discovering more that I didn't know and trying to make, show or prove it useful and practical, said Mrs. Bass. Trying to make minds active and alert is exciting. Mrs. Susan Crawford, American history teacher, spent in one day from 30 minutes to two or three hours and around 12 hours a week grading papers and preparing lessons. Physical science teacher Mrs. I like working with Idds in class as well as in sports. but I don't like having to take disciplinary action upon students. -Clarence Finley, Physical Education, Football, Basketball. Ruthie Gray worked two hours a night on school work, while Coach Woody .Iolley's schedule changed daily. Monday through Thursday I work from 3-5:30 after school on football and 6-9 on cross country, he said. On Friday from 4:30-11:30, Saturday from 8-1 and Sunday from 2:30-3:30, I also work with athletes. Spending extra time outside of school went hand in hand with being a coach. Coach Eddie Choate, who also taught business law and typing, and Coach Clarence Finley, who taught three physical education classes, each averaged 30 extra hours a week. During athletic seasons I stay busy regularly, said Coach Danny Black, who taught physical education. Whether coaching athletes or grading papers, teachers found that homework was a requirement of their I like working with kids, getting knowledge across to the students who care and want to learn. I chose teaching because I felt that this was what I could do best. I wanted to work with kids and influence them to do their best and to care. -Mrs. Joanna profession- Parker, Biology, Science Club, Interclub Council. School Hours! 149
