Santa Cheryl Dilly reverses usual procedure to sit on Mr. Jay Beaver ' s lap as she sells Christmas Wishes for charity project. Who is the teacher that seems in- volved in a little bit of everything? Why, Ms. Debi Carnefix, of course. Ms. Carnefix seems to do whatever she puts her mind to. In 1976-77, she could be heard on WERK radio week- ends as a newscaster. She has been involved in dramatics and singing in high school, college, and later. She dir- ects the spring play, loves to sing, and considers professional singing some- time for the future. This year Ms. Carnefix had her first — and last — experience in teacher negotiations. She considered it a very hard duty and a complete failure. If asked to characterize Ms. Carnefix, students might say she is a women ' s libber. Ms. Carnefix, however, does not consider herself one; she has kept her maiden name after marriage for other reasons. If you happen to see Ms. Carnefix sitting on her desk or standing on her head, don ' t be surprised. She ' s prob- ably performing her latest of many in- terest areas — yoga. 182 Faculty

One teacher seen often in the building after hours is Mr. John S. Adams. His involvement in extra- curricular activities makes him one of the most well-known faculty members. Mr. Adams believes students can learn more in activities than in the classroom, thus explaining why he is sponsor of five organizations and is assistant gymnastics coach. Mr. Adams devotes much of his time to art, which he teaches. Much of his free time is used in drawing and painting. He recently designed the state gymnastics as- sociation symbol. When not involved wth school functions, Mr. Adams is busy in the Optimist Club, in collecting an- tiques, or in advising the Ball State Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He is also a Chicago bears fan, admiring Bear gridder Walter Payton. Quincy (he ' s really not John Quincy) enjoys listening to singer Barbara Streisand or caring for his basset hound Abby. Student-wise, he admires Doug Myers for deter- mination to recover from auto ac- cident injuries. The biggest reason I enjoy teaching is that I enjoy working with kids, Mr. Adams revealed. Also, in art, you see so much satis- faction in them when they com- plete a project. o c T O o 3 I Faculty 181
