Teacher Today! he job as a member of the SHS faculty is not an easy one. Their pay is steady but their requirements change every- day. They have to deal with stu- dent's headaches, stomach aches, complaints and excuses as well as their academic strengths and weaknesses. In an eight hour day teachers try to cope with approximately 150 students and a 150 different personalities. But for most, eight hours is not long enough to get all the work that is needed to be done out of the way. About 7596 of SHS teachers spend hours after school grading papers, plan- ning lessons and studying materi- al. Many things teachers do are overlooked. For instance, they help chaperone all school activi- ties and sponsor all school clubs. Then there are the teachers! coaches - the ones who govern our athletic programs, the ones with amazing school pride and dedication, the ones who suffer through hours of before and after school workouts. Some students try to take ad- vantage of their teachers. They try to monopolize the conversa- tions during class and pretend that they know it all. But here at SHS the teachers have a way of dealing with these things besides D As shown here Mrs. S. Beree and Mr. R. Bokles are delighted to be members of the L.l.F.T. program. The Loving Intervention For Teens was set up to bring young peo- ple closer together. V All Work - No Play Th Life Of A A teacher could easily work 10-15 extra hours a week grading essays and preparing for the next lesson. April Icsman sending students with referrals to the principal's office. They have discovered patience and self-con- trol. They have learned to accept the responsibility of their stu- dents and begin each day on a new note knowing they are help- ing mold them into mature young men and women. Mrs. P. Cook says, When a student achieves to the fullest extent of hisfher ability, I feel I have accomplished my part in their lives. Although the job appears easy to some, the task is a difficult one. The SHS faculty worked hard to make the year successful for ev- eryone. So the next time you de- cide to criticize a teacher, think about what you would do if you were in their shoes. 5 Work never ends at 3:45 for Trainer T.

You Deserve A Break This Year . Belng an alde gives you a break from the everyday routine of school work Shanna Corley Q Chad Oakley looks up a students schedule before delivering a yellow slip. Sometimes the room number the principal puts on it is incorrect, so double-checking is always necessary. 'While Mrs. K. Harris is at lunch, Matt Barnes handles all of her duties which in- cludes answering Jennifer Dill's questions. Matt was a counselor's aide fourth period. As An Aide eing an office and library aide is a privilege reserved for seniors. Aides get the opportunity to help in the office and library and get a taste of what it's like being a secretary and li- brarian. All day long principals and coun- selors call students out of class and books and magazines have to be put back on the shelves. The secretaries and librarians already have their hands full answering telephones and taking book in- ventory so the aides are valuable help to them. Everyday the aides deliver yellow slips, collect and re- cord the daily attendance, check out books to students and check them back in. There is no credit given for be- ing an aide. It's just something ex- tra a student can do for a semes- ter during his or her senior year. Some aides think a credit should be given for the work, but others just like helping the secretaries and librarians for free. I got to work with all the peo- ple in the office and saw a side of them not many students see, said Matt Barnes. Working in the office is fun and relaxing, said Joanna Krawitz. C Joanna Krawitz and Stanley Carver re- cord the fifth period daily attendance while Mrs. S. Graves takes a parent's phone message. All three keep busy throughout the hour.
