FACULTY Memories of past years That was then, this is now. Fads and fashions come and go but memories last a lifetime. From the past to the present, teachers have experienced many memorable changes. What was I going to say? — Mr. Ger- shon is on center circle as the coach of the Academic Decathlon. Leadership sponsored a rally for the team to send them off to victory. Mr. Gershon worked long and tireless hours with the team including a weekend retreat. Another V Notice — Mr. Jones, high school science teacher always give his students plenty of notice if their grades are slipping. Think back to 1978, one dec- ade ago. During this particular year Jimmy Carter was the President of the United States. Disco was not yet dead. The punk movement was very much alive. Fads and fashions of ' 78 were made up of a variety of clothing textures and an exten- sive variety of colors. Inclusive of ' 78 ' s fashion was bright, shiny clothing, platform shoes, and bellbottoms. Black Ameri- cans sought to return to their African heritage and imitate the culture. This movement was the revival of the Afro hair- style. Aside from politics, music and fashion, there are other ele- ments which contribute to the remembrance of the past — a teacher ' s memory. While some of today ' s teach- ers were graduating from col- lege, others had already begun their careers. Ten years ago? Ten years ago I was teaching at McKin- ley, said Mrs. Richter. H Hk ' rv 9 % ■V : Teachers are people too! As a person and a teacher one ' s life changes through the years. I ' ve gotten more busy; more responsibility; two children. Ten years ago I didn ' t have any, said Mr. Delahoussaye. Memories are within a per- son but appearance is external and constantly changing. One ' s appearance has changed in the la st ten years, and one may have developed white hair and lots of lines, said Mrs. Braybrooks. 1 Diane Honda — Yearbook.
