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

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.

Before the teacher's or architect's plans can be carried out, both must have a buyer for their work, must consider their clients' needs and wishes, and must work closely with their clients throughout the entire development of the design. Just as architects must work with many types of contractors and supervise the building of the structure, teachers must work with parents and the community to supervise the building of students' minds. Architects may design beautiful structures, but, if the people cannot work comfortably and efficiently in them, the structure fail architecturally. lt is also true of teachers who design the perfect cur- riculum. lf the graduates cannot perform com- fortably or efficiently in society, the educa- tional system has failed. lt is, therefore, the peo- ple served who determine the designs and suc- cesses of both architects and teachers. - Linda Raughton mf' , J -S Ronnie White ...
