11'1 C It takes a lot to make a go of high school. I know. If I ever have to do an- other bibliography it will be one too many. School is really a full time job. I mean not only trying to make the grades but taking everything I want to. There's some really interesting classes. The kids in psychology hit in- to some' different areas such as yoga. Ecology classes studied the relation- ship of man to his environment, and honors physics class built cars power- ed by mousetraps. Every once in a while I get stumped. I can't understand an assignment. My teacher and I have help sessions af- ter school. Other teachers and students do the same. Research papers find me in the library digging material during study hall. Geometry proofs, U.S. His- tory questions and themes in Comp. have me taking books home. I have some teachers who try to make their classes pleasant. Graphics in the halls at AHS make things homey around here too. Class discussions on politics, ESP and student rights let us state our opinions, and I like that. I realize that getting an education is more than books and test. I learn from relaxing. The students and teach- ers share common grounds at AHS. They provide the material, and I have to provide the manpower to make the best of it. Like most of us, I try to use the classroom to give my students a chance to get the most out of high school as possible. I like to see them graduate from high school with more than we did. And I think the students realize this. Our system is pretty good about letting us introduce classes we think students would be interested in. And that we enjoy teaching. With an en- rollment of I,777, we are able to of- fer a wide curricula. We are successful in giving students a wide range of classes they can take. Different levels of progress help stu- dents to advance at their own ability such as the honors classes and the re- medial programs. Vocational as well as college courses help to meet their in- dividual needs. We have a goal to edu- cate and the students have their goal to learn. lt's no fun to give an F. Students feel sometimes that we enjoy it. lt's much more satisfying to see success. Actu- ally the greatest thrills in teaching are the little daily successes. Seeing that spark when a student first realizes where the comma goes, or when he fin- ally comprehends the calculus problem makes teaching all worthwhile. I think that after they graduate they will realize that what they left AHS with will pay off.
