Wanting the best of students . . liking the respect shown Educating, guiding, and even learning was experienced by Star- Spencer's forty-eight member staff. Teaching techniques changed with emphasis placed upon each stu- dent's reasoning and judgment. Lec- tures and lesson plans were replaced by independent study. Instructors grasped everything and anything to receive a spark of interest and possibly an ounce of perception. Students wanting and asking to learn was the reward they received for their efforts. They strived to pre- pare the youth for their future posi- tion in life and the problems they will encounter later on. MARJORIE SAUER-Art I,Il,llI,IV: Art Club, Junior Class. LLOYD SHANTZ-Auto Mech.

Keeping track of store funds . . . constantly answering telephones Operating behind the scenes to keep the school functioning smooth- ly were the school secretaries. Women in the office took care of the school records so well that they might have been taken for granted at times. The attendance office tracked down the missing student, whether he was sick, late or just mis-placed. Thyra Vernon, financial secretary, handled the school books and also ticket sales. The media center was developed even more by the staff of librarians. The school nurse was on hand with band-aides, aspirins, and sound advice for any problem that arose.
