,Tl B hind Those Closed Door Facult members seek a haven for relaxation Happy Birthday to yooooo Happy Birthday to yoooooo. Weekly these musical strains spilled forth from behind those closed doors of the upstairs lounge of the liberal arts area. A large wall calendar recorded the birthdays of teachers who, willing or not, celebrated their special day with a cake, pie, or special buffet style lunch. Whatever the occasion, these teachers celebrated with exuberance. During football and basketball season many a party was thrown for coaches by this group of revelers. Balloons, banners, and pastries were provided to boost spirits and ensure victory. A celebration in March ushered in sandal season with a luau breakfast, replete with music and decor to signal the end of the snowy season and appease the gods in hopes of sunny days. Supplied with the comforts of home with coffee pot, sink, refrigerator, microwave, and even its own Coke machine, this lounge was the gathering place for the sixteen teachers of this teaching pod for midday meals. The homey atmosphere was maintained with dirty ashtrays, half-eaten lunches, and dead plants. The blackboard announced, We need coffee. Weeks later, We still need coffee! Sounded similar to classroom pleas of, I need your homework today! that also fell on deaf ears. Rrrrrring the bell sounds for a fire drill and the lounge doors swing shut. Would teachers hide behind those doors? The Faculty surprises Ms. Cheryl Pennington, girls'swimming coach, with a wet T-shirt award before her last meet of the season. Malcolm Orton C.P.
