Breaking the Generation Gao Teacher's remember their younger years. Students tend to believe that teachers come from an unknown place. In search of that unknown place, we have gone where no man has gone before...to the depths of their minds. You never know, they could be as human as we are. The obvious starting point was asking the teachers what they remembered of their first year of school. Some answers were the usual nap time and cookies like Mr. Moorman's, but everyone has a unique memory. Mr. Vanderpan said, “I remember the building. There were pipes going through the ceiling. Mrs. Crangle remi- nisced, “when us kids were real good, our teacher would walk us over to her house. There we got tofeed apples to her horse, Ned. It seemed most teachers had fond memories of thier elementary years. Students often think the Bridger school is small, but Mr. Biver said that in some schools back then “there were only thirty kids in eight grades . Some teachers had the drastic let downs that we all may have experienced. My parents thought I was bright, so they sent me to school a year early, but after three days I got kicked out, admitted Mrs. Steffan. Dr. Aadland had an especially fond mem- ory of his early years. lie commented, “I thought my teacher was real pretty! I sort of had a crush on her.” There is diversity of experience and age within the facualty. “I remember [when I was in schoolj having Mrs. Brown as a student teacher, added Mr. Pinnick. Teachers don t come from an unknown place. Many remember being on the other side of the desk, such as Mrs. Steffan s vivid mem- ory of one of her teachers. I hated my teacher...she was a redheaded old bag.” Principal, Mr. Vanderpan, hits a high note for the High School Pep Band. Scotta Moris, Kristen Goetz, Courtney Geotz, Lacy Goldsburg and other kindergarten students enjoy practing penmanship on the balckboard. I hated my teacher...she was a redheaded old bag. -Mrs. Steffan

TO KILL Teachers. You see them every school day in your life. But mysteriously, at 3:30, they seem disap- pear, to a place where they are never seen again. Where do they go? Once they are there what do they do? Do they have too much time on their hands? What more does a teacher want than to give huge assignments on weekends? Well, it's hard to believe, but teachers too, have more things to do than hang around that old school building. Some of the activities that teachers do when they're out of school include going to school. This year we had three student teachers at Bridger High. Miss Tracy Kupfner, who student taught P.E., not only had to teach us, but also had to attend college, yet, she still found time to coach Jr. High girls Volleyball. Mr. Kenny Larsen student taught for Mr. Pinnick. He too had to attend college when he wasn’t here teaching us, but he also found time to help coach High School Football. Mr. Deen Pomerory came to Bridger High near the end of the year, and student taught for Mr. Scott. He, too ,had to go to college, but he also spent time making and selling his own hand made pots. Mrs. Goetz and Mrs. Colley both find time to do arts and crafts which they also sell. Mr. Scott, in col- laboration with his wife, runs the NACEL Cultural Exchanges for the Montana and northern Wyoming area. He also finds time to be on the Bartooth Ski Patrol. Miss Jody Carlson found time to fall in love, and get married. So, as you can now see, teachers, too, have life outside school.
