After twenty years of teaching, sixteen of them in Fairfax County, Frau Mclver took a job at WSHS after the closing of Fort Hunt High School. With references that included two years of teaching at Harvard and one and a halt years at William and Mary, all teaching German language and literature, her outstanding reputation preceded her at WSHS. Many people might think that it was strange for a college professor to teach high school German, but Frau Mclver had her reasons. When my husband and I moved to this area, there were no openings to teach in college. A friend recommended that I teach in Fairfax County because it was a very good school system. When Fort Hunt closed, she decided to come to WSHS — again because of a high recommendation. Although teaching German in high school was a lot different than in college, Frau Mclver says that she enjoyed it very much. West Springfield has the kind of students I ' m used to. She emphasized that her classes had not changed signifigantly during the transition. I ' m still teaching the same way I did in college. It ' s my opinion that students will learn as much as you give them. From the intensity of her classes and the success of her students, it seems that her theory has proved correct. Although she has done an excellent job of teaching at WSHS this year, academics is definitely not the only thing that interests Frau Mclver. Besides out-of-the-class activities such as curriculum development and holding the office of president of the Fairfax County German Teachers ' Association, Mrs. Mclver also enjoyed hobbies like gardening, cooking and traveling. We try to go to Europe at least every other year, she said. This spring, Frau Mclver trav- eled to Germany and Austria with 25 students from WSHS and West Potomac High School. The students took a nine-day tour dur- ing their spring vacation of Euro- pean cities such as Munich, Inns- bruck, and Zurich. Because it was my first trip overseas, I learned a lot and had loads of fun, explain- ed sophomore Sonja Fredrickson. As for future plans, Frau Mclver said that she would like to write a textbook for the German II course. The second year is the hardest in learning a foreign language, she explained. A good text helps a lot. ' an Cliot LEARN YOUR VERBS . . . Frau Cyn- thia Mclver enforced verb conjuga- tions and tenses in all levels of Ger- man. She gives warning to her German U students to prepare for an upcoming test. But whatever Frau Mclver does, she will be noticed and appreciated by the school as long as she continues to enrich the language department and students of WSHS. — Truy S hne.Jct ■■prau Mclver was a great teacher. 1 feel 1 really learned a lot in her cass. senior Sun Choi Staff 972 Morts — Pompei I J
