Perhaps the most important aspects of any journey are the guideposts — those stop, slow, caution, danger ahead, and yield- right-of-way signs. Our journey through school is no exception, for at every turn we need our human guideposts, the faculty 1 hey stand along the road, guiding, prodding, scolding, praising, encouraging, all the while building character. Our problem might be math or language or personality traits, but we can always find a willing ear and helpful advice from some teacher, who often proves to be one of our best friends, though at the time we do not realize it. On duty along the road, teachers point the way to a better and happier life, teaching as much by example as by textbook. The advice and example they have given us will be remembered long after weVe traveled the road through high school. 4
