Frustra- tion and exaltation were both integral emotions in this complex relationship, but the majority of the time the rewards outweighed the trials.

'fl enjoy the students most of all, and it excites me to know that an exchange has taken place and some- one has learned something new, Mrs. Knight said.

The majority probably turned their noses up. Teachers? Yuck! Homework, tests, schoolg it's all a waste of time. There were a few teachers, though, who had found their way into their student's hearts. Either way, we had to remember that teachers were human. And be- lieve it or not, they enjoyed some of the same things we did. Most teach- ers dreaded homework and tests as much as their students. After all, teachers had to grade papers. When they had spare time, most teachers had other things they enjoyed doing. Mrs. Betty McBride, Intermediate Algebra and Calculus, enjoyed sew- ing playing the piano, cooking and tennis. Many teachers enjoyed reading. Lucious Powell, guidance counsel- or, golfed, fished and worked in his garden and yard for enjoyment. One of Mrs. Carolyn Richesin's extra-curricular activities was selling Shaklee products. Mrs. Richesin, American History and American Minoritorities, described the products as in harmony with nature and good health. Shaklee is basically a line of vit- amins and health supplements.
