DOROTHY BALES ONEIDA BEEMAN Counselor Science f x 1 1 '- 94, 3., Schools are maintained for students, but students without teachers would accomplish nothing. Teach- ers are needed to guide students toward their perspective goal. The faculty for 1961-1962 was com- prised of one hundred eight instructors. Among these, seventy-two taught at Division I and the remaining thirty-six at Division II. Teachers spent many hours preparing and teach- ing lessons. More time was needed to grade papers. Several teachers were still going to school, so that they would be better qualified as instructors. Many stayed after school hours to help students or to sponsor class and club activities. Mrs. Ruth Brown, Latin teacher, Mrs. Mary F. Clements, Spanish instructor, and Miss Verda Riller, French teacher, made certain that both divisions had foreign language classes. Don Welborn, music instructor, also taught music at both divisions. Kenneth Smith, C.O.E. instructor was called to active service with the 442nd Air Force squadron at Richards-Gebaur air base October 1, 1961. His tour of duty will include 12 months or more. Lawrence Cook was his temporary replacement. The success of students depends on the teaching ability of the faculty.
