HISTCRY AIN 'sw ,4.II! Ji- iig, K, ,ti I 'I N1 Mary Ann Allison David Bryant Carole BifChfiEId I see history as part of the foundation an ar- chitect might use. An architect must choose the best foundation available for what he is building, just as students must have the very best founda- tions on which to build their lives. The study of history will give students insight into types of government, religions, ways of life, customs, morals, and values. By wise use of what they learn, students will be able to choose the best blueprints for themselves. - Mary Ann Allison 'AAn architect must use his resources to creatively design a workable space. Teachers are rarely in a 'design' situation. We are more like the conductor who must take that which is already designed and, using what materials he can afford or those which are available, attempt to carry out the design. We have been given a 'design' and must try to use what raw materials we can scavenge to creatively build something in the empty spaces between our students' ears. - Cliff Morrison g DRIVER EDLICATIGN M u Wynton Benefield An architect tries to build a building that is safe and usable.

An architect looks for areas of stress in buildings and reinforces these areas with extra support, We, as teachers, look for those areas in our students' lives that may need a little extra support and try to give them that support through our teaching. An architect knows a building will last longer and be more sound if it has a good foundation. We, as teachers, try to give our students a good founda- tion, so they can be sound for their future. - Emmett Gaskin SCIENCE Emmett Gaskin MATHEMATICS An architect and a teacher are alike in that both plan and design things. An architect creates objects that are useful and some objects that are things of beauty. A teacher must do the same job. He has to take an individual and try to make a person who will serve a purpose in society. - Glenn Elmore Martha Weeks LIBRARY . si .4 Joyce Stolle An architect needs a general knowledge of struc- tural engineering. As the construction of a building grows in complexity and technology, howeverg specialists are required to supply detailed information and background knowledge. That's the work of the librarian - to supplement what is not already accessi- ble, to answer questions concerning research materials, and to coordinate the employed specialists knowledge. - Joyce Stolle

your ,ww VOCATIQNAL EDCICATICJN .li .,..,,..Q, 5 X ' A p-Q Gail Davidson ' 1 Kathy Erwin fl There are parts of my job that are similar to that of an architect. One of the many things that I do is to shape the students and to make them good citizens. l try to develop character in my students, also. My point of view is that an ar- chitect shapes a building and I shape the students that l teach. - Clyde Mitchell l 4 .

There are several tools which are common but essential in every vocation of life. The first is education. The learning process is a continuous endeavor from formal courses of study and from the school of experience. A second tool is will power or determina- tion. The life that is void of determination doesn't go very far, A third tool is friendliness. Friends or lack of them play an impor- tant part in success or failure of a person's undertakings. A sense of humor creates good will and better understanding between peo- ple. One must be able to laugh at his own mistakes and laugh with others. Understanding is a tool that views your fellow man with his strengths as well as his faults. - Gail Davidson it J' Clyde Mitchell
