egging Rudyard Kipling's pardon, teaching is 60 seconds worth of distance run, and when you iced the minute with sponsoring a club, it was no rose garden, but not all Processing.

It's really fun being around them, she said. John Cummings, sponsor of Key Club, admitted there had been time when the going got rough. It's not always easy to sponsor a club, he said.

Helping, sharing and being with kids were the main reasons for sponsoring clubs. And teachers also enjoyed the atmosphere and all the excitement that went along with the club activities. I chose teaching as a career because it is the most noble profession one can aspire to. To take a young mind and introduce that young mind to the great ideas and thoughts that are already in its possession is quite simply the finest thing a man or woman can do. -John Cummings, English 302, Alpine Club, Key Club, Backgammon Club.
