“She works hard for the money” Mr. Burke’s Basketball victories Miss Newcomb’s Forensics victor¬ ies Mr. Reekes new daughter Mrs. Long’s and Mrs. Short’s retire¬ ment Mrs. Gordon’s illness Mr. Mims’ broken leg Mrs. Leemon’s broken arm All of these events in¬ fluenced these human beings, these teachers, but each realized that he or she had to work hard for their money. We still gave the teachers some hard days for example, the days be¬ fore Christmas and Easter, but they always came back for more. We saw them working at games, coaching and taking up tickets. They were at our dances making sure no unwant¬ ed elements intruded. And they did all kinds of other things that were not part of their jobs, like PTSA meetings, Saturday competitions and after school trips. The famous Dunking Machine, students lined up all the way around the school to have a chance at dunk¬ ing their “favorite” teachers. And with the taunts of the teachers, the students hit their mark. And what would have been easier than for Mrs. Darnell Long or Mrs. Ruby Short to slack off at the end? But they didn’t because they couldn’t. They were there to the last day, to the last night, along with all the faculty and staff here. These two retiring Senior Class Sponsors as well as all the other teachers worked hard for the money. i Mr. David Wright, who would lend an enormous amount of aid to this yearbook, works on a stu¬ dents assignment as he student taught here.

‘ Against All Odds” When students heard the word “teacher”, we automatically thought of an old lady in cat-eyed glasses sitting behind a large desk. Teachers had always been thought of as a student’s number one enemy. . And it was “Against All Odds” that they could become friends with us. But some teachers managed to to¬ tally destroy the barrier between students and teachers and were con¬ sidered to be part of the gang. Many of the teachers joined in with the students during Homecom¬ ing week and participated in punk- rock day. Mrs. Leemon, Mrs. Hir- vonen, and Mrs. Newcomb could have been mistaken for some punk- rocker invaders in our school halls. Mr. Leemon became very popular with the students with his antics and jokes. Mr. Mims, one of the younger teachers, became very popular with us. Mrs. Julia Jones became well known as a disciplinarian. And none of us will forget Mrs. Long and Mrs. Short with their motherly ways toward the students. We will miss them as they end their teaching careers. Even though we were a tough au¬ dience to play to, the teachers did their best. They did their best “Against All Odds” to help us. Typical teacher, on Punk-Rock day during Homecoming week that is, Mr. A1 Wright, displays his outlandish outfit as he helps judge students even more outlandishly dressed.
