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. Teaching business courses is fun and exciting, and it always keeps me busy. -Mrs. Carol Ann Jennings, Machine Ofiice Practice, Simulated Oflice Practice, FBLA. School hours! 151
