‘ 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.
