Here's what some English teachers had to say: It is special because most of our students have an unpretentious enthusiasm for school, said Sally Scott, English teacher. Scott believes that building new traditions have been one of the major goals for Big Sky students. Big Sky has potential that has yet to be developed. Even though Big Sky lacks tradition, the school has been very com- petitive in both athletic and academic areas. This ability to be competitive demonstrates great character and desire to succeed and we will. - Barry Darrow, English teacher and assistant coach for varsity football. Many students think to themselves, i I wou1dn't become a teacher for anything. Well, some teachers felt the same way until: When l decided to teach, was my junior year in high school, l was sitting in my English class listening to the teacher, and l thought to myself, 'I could do better than this!

Is it important for students to take a foreign language during high school years? Yes. It helps the student better unders- tand the English language and also the foreign cultures, stated George Sendon, Spanish teacher and Speech and Debate coach. The foreign language department of Big Sky, has organizations such as German Club and International Club. The German Club is directed by Walt Graf, Big Sky's German teacher, and the lntemational Club is organized by Peggy Patrick and Carolyn Brock, both of whom are French teachers at Big Sky. Understanding the English language seems harder for some students. To help those students learn, Big Sky offers special reading and special education classes. This department is specially organized to help the students individually and at thier own pace, and has proved to be helpful.

History teacher, Bob Womack, watches as the Big Sky powder puff football team defeats Sentinel. Womack served as ad- viser for all intramural activities. 1, Bob Womack Kevin Hammond Cal Johnson Why did Big Sky's teachers decide upon the teaching profession? I was fortunate to have a sucessful, col- lege career both academically and athletical- ly. I was interested in sharing my ex- periences with high school youths. I was also fortunate to have some key role models who were teachers and coaches in high school. These people made a great positive impression on my life. I hope I would be able to have the same input on some of my students or athletes, stated Russ Pilcher, Criminology and Sociology teacher, assis- tant varsity football coach, head coach boys track, and head of the Social Studies department. ' I became a teacher because I enjoy work- ing with people and sharing my ideas. I chose high school because I particularly like teenagers. Most teenagers I know exhibit great 'joie de viore', have a good sense of humor and much energy. These are all qualities I admiref, stated Marilyn Dayries, American and World History teacher and senior class advisor.
