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. Mrs. .IoAnna Parker, Human Phys- iology and Biology, like to read, go to movies, spend time at her cabin, swim and water ski at Lake Ouachita. Mrs. Parker said that she enjoyed hearing that students do well in later years because of something they learned in her class. If given an alternative to teaching, Mrs. Parker said she really didn't know what she'd do, but that it definitely wouldn't require home- work! 172!For friends

A99 3 Qc-'W QA his., J sf - ' I 4, 5 5 ,sr O nspiration Inspirotion comes from mony sources ll t's been a life-long dream, said Mrs. Susanna Smith. Many PV teachers shared her feelings toward teaching, a job that required an abundance of patience with a few measures of inspiration thrown in. That inspiration came from many sources. I had a teacher in high school who encouraged me a lot, said Irving Seager, I also like to work with young people. I guess I was inspired to become a teacher by my grandmother who was also a teacher, said Mrs. Dorothy Smith. The people or things which en- couraged PV teachers to teach ranged from relatives and former teachers to personal ambitions and dreams. For as long as I can remember that's what l've wanted to be, said Miss Angela Sears, At first I wanted to teach Home Ec, but when I got out of college, I took a job as an elementary school teacher and found I liked the younger kids. Some, like Moses Smith were inspired by their love of kids or even their hobbies, I like working with kids, said Smith, I like to work witli my hands. Other kept their hobbies as sideline. Gary rolf spent his free tim , playing tennis or riding his bike while Miss Sears enjoyed photo! graphy, reading and walking. Mrs Susanna Smith also enjoyed readini along with skating and horsebac riding. 1 Mrs. Dorothy Smith spent her tim away from school sewing and doin crewel work and needlepoint. X Whatever the source of inspiratior in the lives of PV teachers, most were glad they chose their very importan jobs, as their choices gave them tha opportunity to inspire and make a impression on the adults and perhap: teachers of tomorrow. 174!For friends
