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.
