ART LOVER Teacher returns to old job The words ‘back to school often make some people shud- der. But in the case of art teacher Beth Smith, these words have a very special meaning, Mrs. Smith has come back to teaching after spending two and a half years working with her husband doing wildlife re- habilitation. Sylvan Hills is a quality school. The teachers are ex- tremely friendly and the stu- dents are exceptional. she said Even throughout high school. Smith said she wanted to be an art teacher. Art is an important subject. It’s really basic, just like English, math, and science. Throughout his- tory humans have always ex- pressed themselves visually. In our world now. computers do everything for us; art is an outlet — a way to ex- press ourselves. After taking a few years away from students. Mrs. Smith said it was time to re- enter her former profession. This time is my time. I believe. Teaching is some- thing I love to do. I try to make art a fun subject. she said. — by Kelly Hursl DIG IN. At the teacher's luncheon at the beginning of the year.

Dupins has been an advisor for three years. Dupins said that in college he was involved in an organization known as the Black Student Association (BSAA). at Arkansas State Univer- sity. When I came here, there was a club known as Black Culture Club, and I wanted to continue my work with black students. So I got involved in SAAC. Although SAAC's purpose is to lea about Afro-American culture. Dupins ss that it is open to people of all colors. It's for people who are interested and want to participate in and learn abo Afro-American culture. Whether you a black or white, it's a part of our history. Thirty-five students are now membe of SAAC. and Dupins said he hopes double that number. My major emphasis is on increasir membership and increasing the acaderr focus of SAAC. Outside his work with SAAC member Dupins is also involved in another orga ization. I’m working with Afro-Americans ar Africans for International Understanding he said. It's a cultural exchange betwer Afro-Americans and Africans. — by Renee Cfi TAKE NOTE Biology Teacher Prentice Dupins carries overhead projector to his class tor a lecture. 84 Just enough
