or Mrs. Kathy Beaumont school seldom ended with the 3:20 bell. Every other week brought newspaper deadlines plus the constant yearbook deadlines. Being the publications adviser meant staying after school. Traveling to games, marching, contests and learning new routines always swamped Sterling Ingram, Band director and sponsor of Instrumental Music Club. I enjoy Instrumental Music Club because there is excitement in playing in a quartet or trio, said Ingram. The football games were attended by Miss Vida Day, vice-principal. Miss Day attended the games and other school- sponsored activities because she enjoyed being around the students. Working with Chapel Club for Mrs. Gayle Washam meant lining up speakers for the monthly meetings and sponsoring such projects as a one day no-smoking clinic. Mrs. Washam believed she held a common spiritual interest with the members. I have been planning cruises and trips for Parkview students since 1971, and I enjoy it thoroughly, explained Donald Bratton, cruise sponsor. Bratton believed the cruises were educational and that they provided an enriching environment. Co-sponsor of Student Council, Mrs. Carolyn Richesin, was also highly involved in creating a better school environment. As a social studies teacher I . naturally participate in the extra- curricular activities which help promote social growth, she said. I think it is part of the job of a teacher to extend beyond the classroom. Two teachers at Parkview sponsored clubs because they taught the related classes. Gary Rolf, German teacher, sponsored German Club, and Mrs. Sybil Bunn, Coordinated Career Education teacher, sponsored CCE. Mrs. Claudia Watson, sponsor of Black Culture, said, I enjoy sponsoring Black Culture. We make a contribution to a memorial scholarship awarded to a senior. No matter how teachers came about sponsoring clubs and activities, they all agreed that it was worth the extra time and work. I feel l get to know my students a class where something tangible is being produced. -Mrs. Kathy Beaumont, Constitution, Splrlt of 80, Photography, Quill and Scroll. We 3 ef 1 When one works with the kids who care enough about their lives to carry their school work just one step more and go out to work for their school and the other kids, one can't help feeling that the future can't , be nearly so black as it is forecast-not while we have these kinds of people still around. - Mrs. Carolyn Richesin, American History, American Minorities, Student Council, Barrow Road Gang. I thoroughly enjoy sponsoring the cruise. Although l've seen the things numerous times, I enjoy seeing them through the eyes of someone who has never seen them before. -Donald Bratton, American History, Latin I and II, Economics, Student Council. Black Culture helps inform students of outstanding contributions of many renowned black Americans. -Mrs. Claudia Watson, Accounting, Junior Executive Training, Black Culture, FBLA. School hours! 153

hen the last bell rang at 3:20, helping students, teaching class and sponsoring clubs came to an end and the activities of the Parkview faculty took on a new light. On Tuesdays one could have found Miss Dean Price on the golf course in Burns Park. Miss Price, who played golf for the exercise, said that she really should have played more often. Mrs. Dilcy Bankston enjoyed quilting during holidays and the summer because it was relaxing. After taking a trip to Tijuana and purchasing a huge wooden chess set, Mrs. Marcelline Carr and her family taught themselves how to play. They all enjoyed playing chess in their spare time. Ron Hesselschwerdt, who had taught drafting since PV opened, said that fishing was his favorite pastime because there was so much solitude while fishing. He felt he could get away from it all. When there weren't papers to grade or any of the other drudgeries that went along with teaching, Mrs. Sarah Kready enjoyed doing crewel embroidery during her preparation period. The finished products give colorful, personal touches to my home, she said. In addition to teaching orchestra Mrs. Ferrol Hicks played the violin Leslie ls truly the joy of our lives. She is the answer to many years of prayer. -Mrs. Sandy Munday, Typing I, FBLA. I played with the Des Moines Civic Symphony in college. When I got married and moved here I started playing with a Little Rock Chamber Orchestra, which later became the nucleus for the Arkansas Symphony. -Mrs. Ferrol Hicks, Orchestra. or the viola with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. When you are in a classroom all day it's really nice to get out in the open, said Mrs. Virginia Neill. Mrs. Neill, who enjoyed working with flowers. got interested when she and her husband bought a new home and some landscaping needed to be done. Mrs. Nita Cross enjoyed doing embroidery in her spare time. She liked the sense of accomplishment she felt after completing a picture of a sampler. After adopting a baby in July of 1978, Mrs. Sandy Munday said that most of her spare time was spent with her. Leslie, her daughter, was a major time consumer. Even though all teachers had to spend some of their time after 3:20 on school work, most of them remained productive in their spare time. Quilting relaxes me. It also gets rid of old scraps of material. I do most of my quilting around holidays and during the summer. -Mrs. Dilcy Bankston, Biology, Human Physiology, Science Club.
