°Ieacher: (continued from page 6) The songs “Sounds of Silence” and “Send in the Clowns” were the two favorites out of sixteen listed. Favorite vocalists ranged from Frank Sinatra to Fleetwood Mac. In response to the question, “What do you think sets our school apart from any other?” Mr. Erling Rasmussen com- mented, “A warm friendly atmosphere.” Mrs. Hansen stated, “It’s a homo- geneous group of students in a fairly af- fluent rural community. My high school 44 Funny Mascot’ ’ was extremely large and overcrowded; it was in the middle of a low income area so budgeting was tight and we had lots of racial trouble, so 1 feel Audubon is very lucky.” “I like the school’s discipline. In gen- eral it is better than others,” replied Mr. Timmons. “This school has a P.E. teacher nick- named ‘Peg a Leg Pigfoot,”’ said Miss Schwinefus. Mr. Schuldt stated, “Basically I don’t think our school is that much different from others. I’m sure the stu- dents at Bayard and Harlan each think they have a good or the best school.” “The quality of the students, teach- ers, administration and facilities and the relationship between each.” were strengths pointed out by Mrs. Kristen- sen. Mr. Wambold said, “Students have more freedom here, more voice in stu- dent activities, which is good.” Mrs. Benson replied, “The mascot- most other schools have an animal. It was funny at first to think of a wheel in that capacity.” Working with students and seeing achievements was what the teachers liked most about their jobs. Mr. Edel- man said he enjoys, “Being able to talk to people, share ideas-to listen and to be heard.” Mr. Bourne listed the rewards as, Working with students, meeting peo- ple, and the satisfaction of an outstand- ing performance.” Directing plays, and extracurricular involvements with students,” were Mrs. Jensen’s preferences.
