Dedication During the year Whiteman eighth and ninth graders took part in an experimental program in English. They elected a semester course in the English areas as a sub- stitute for one semester of regular English. Courses offered included: Creative Writing, Theatre Arts, Literature and the Contemporary World, Discussion, and Debate, Business and Industry, and Basic Communications. Atpublication time plans were being made to expand the pro- gram to include all eighth and ninth grades students. One hundred fifty eighth and ninth grades participated in the program. Some of the braver ones are shown below. They took part in a program which displayed a willingness on the school ' s part to allow students to make theirownchoices about school. We salute them.

WHITE MAN FACULTY AND STAFF A teacher is many things. Heis a device which teaches and explains. Hegivestests, figures grades every six weeks or sooner, and worries about each and every one of his kids . A teacher is seen as an ogre, a sadistic monster, and easy grader, a Gestapo henchman; and he doesn ' t like the images anymore thanthose he sometimes gives to his kids . Ateacher is a person who guides, instructs, advises, com- mands, listens to students. He wants to help them, and he wants to understand the problems of each of his kids . Ateacher isa subjectof ridicule, praise, mockery, love, hate indifference - the works. But for every teacher who ever walked into a classroom, there is but one reward worth living and teaching for. And that is a word of thanks and appreciation from one of his kids.
