As the mustard yellow bus deposits its possengers in front of the school, the reocher woves in recognition at o former student, Hello Mrs, Merlin! I haven ' t seen you in o v hile. What ore you doing out here? the student Qsks, Oh, I ' m on bus duty this mor- ning. the teacher replies. Trudg- ing off to class, the student is heord remarking, Why teachers have bus duty, I con ' t figure out Assigned to teachers on a roll- ing bosis, bus duty may hove oc- curred three or four times o year per teacher. With the exception of department chairmen, cooches, ond teochers who fought at more than one school, bus duty was designoted to oil regulor teochers alphobeticaily by department. For example, bus duty was not required of Lotin teocher Janice Reed because she commuted bet- ween teoching of Spring Woods and Northbrook High Schools every doy Teachers were required to pro- vide adult supervision of the bus drop from 715 to 7:45 am. before school and 3:15 to 3:45 p,m, after school. Although serving bus dury presented minor inconveniences, teachers felt they were necessary inconveniences, Mosf students don ' t realize that bus du- ty is important, teocher Connie Dyers said. The purpose is to hove someone there to get help if necessary or moke on emergency decision, sort of like o mother fiqure. In her 15 yeors here, Dyers noticed the bus system in Spring Branch has improved dromoticol- ly. Within the post five years, she could not recall ony mishaps while serving bus duty, The buses in the district ore run very efficiently, Dyers said, In fact, the only problem is fhot they . leove so quickly, I hove to leove my sixth period class to moke if ouf thereon time, Duses were not supposed to leove until 3:X, but mosf of them left o little before 3:30. This was due to the dexterity of students in boording the buses.; It omozes me how eager, students ore to leove school, ' teocher Loretto Covin sold. BY AUDREY KING Doing Her Duty.
