What Makes a Good or Bad Student? Students? “Good attitude, attendance, interest, and respect is what you find in a good student,” says Ms. Dolores Summers. Doing more than what is asked is what Pat Glover feels makes a good student while Band Director Jim Burgett simply requests that a good student practice, be tolerant of his mistakes, be clean, and like pizza well enough to sneak it into class for all. Other teachers such as Ms. Donna Brainard feel that a good student is “motivated, questioning, and open- minded,” and as Counselor Jeanette Hyatt says, “They see their value as a human being and strive for the best that they can be.” Coach Tommy Solomon humorously requests that “a good stu- dent make As on all his tests.” PIE IN THE EYE - Coach Nallez 'volun- teered to let the cheerleaders build a pie on his head for the homecoming pep rally.

Teachers. . . Mr. Carl Whitfield said he tries To instill in the students a sense of pride and a feeling of accomplishment in their pursuit of knowledge.” Coach Robert Agee feels that a good teacher has the ability to motivate the student into giv- ing his best effort while Ms. Therese McCulley believes that a good instructor is “interested, enthusiastic, and has a positive attitude.” Many teachers try to help prepare pupils to enter the world with confi- dence. As Mr. Bill Matchett says, “I want to prepare students for college classes and unexpected teacher rou- tines.” Ms. Jeannie Lowery believes that being open-minded, able to admit mis- takes, and able to deal with all personali- ties helps even more. Teaching sophomores, juniors, and seniors successfully takes time, under- standing, and humor and Ms. Bettina Steele thinks that being unbiased and caring is important too. Coach Tommy Solomon just wants to “teach sopho- mores successfully.” BACK TO SCHOOL - Ms. Brown. Ms. Brainard. Ms. Jones, and Ms. Young sign students up for English classes at August registration.
