They’re lending a helping hand naturally Mrs. Davenport and the cafeteria staff have shown much hardwork and dedication. and we are all proud of them. Preparation is the key to the cafeteria staff, led by Mrs. Davenport. Preparing a well balanced breakfast and lunch for any student interested is the goal. They seem to know what the students like, because during the lunch hour, the cafeteria line is always extremely long. Whether it is pizza, milkshakes, or hamburgers, the staff pro¬ vides it. They even go out of the way for special occasions by serving holiday fare. Gntil the last student in the cafeteria places the last tray on top of all the others, the staff is busily serving the student body. The maintenance staff plays an impor¬ tant role in keeping our school in tip-top shape. Directed by the much sought after, indispensible Mr. Dennis, the staff makes sure our school remains sparkling and at- tractive so that we have a pleasant envi- ronment to surround us every day. Stu¬ dents and teachers alike can always count on Mrs. Lindsey’s warm greeting as they enter C-wing or Mr. Diggs’ bright cheery salutation. T-shack teachers also enjoy see- ing the friendly faces of Ms. Jackson and Ms. Sammuel. They work hard and always keep our horne court clean. Wh atever the task, be it great or small, the custodian staff is on the ball. Librarians, Cafeteria. And Janitorial Staff • 147

Librarians share knowledge Although almost all students are famil iar with the card catalogues and periodi cals, it just doesnt seem right to enter the library and not ask Mrs. Timberlake where to find a certain book or Mrs. Daniel why the copy machine won’t work. Students seek out Ms. Triggs by habit because she can always find the time to help. Our staff welcomes students into the library with warm, inviting smiles. They feel their goal is to assist and encourage students to obtain bits and pieces of infor mation to store for the future. They also cooperatively work with teachers to co ordinate library and media activities with classroom instruction. Ms. Triggs works hard to keep the library organized. Mrs. Timberlake phones in an order for new books. Mrs. Daniel is proud of the data board newly installed in the library.

Edward Allen Martha Allen Judy Awalt Don Belanger Susan Bell Ruby Blackwell If I weren’t teaching I Gone are the old maid school marms who arrived before dawn to stoke the fires of the chilly one-room school. Gone are the faithful ladies whose severe buns at the nape of the neck and pixie shoes with up turned toes established them immediately as school teachers. Enter flash, personality, humor and gus¬ to. Enter the 1985-86 Magnet teaching staff. Versatile and dynamic, eager to seek new ventures and ready to do something out of the ordinary, the Magnet faculty is always on the move. Yes, move over, PeeWee Herman. Coach Andrew Collins is on the way: he s famous around campus for his PeeWee imitations. He might even enjoy traveling around the country with his act. Along the way, he might bump into new drama teacher Den- ise McGuffey, who has said that she could take to the roads auditioning for cat food commercials. Watch out, Morris the cat! Although few students could imagine Dr. Bratton doing anything but teaching, he has stated that he could make his living as a professional rake, dependent only on the whims of chance. Also capable of cast- i ng his fate to the winds, student teacher and coach Doug Hedges proclaimed that migration to the West Coast has crossed his mind, should he ever decide not to teach. He said that his tools of professional- ism would be simple. His very own surf board, some sun tan lotion, and a cook, refreshing drink would enable him to catch that first wave. Beach bums may not need much cash, but businessmen certainly do. Head jazz man Dorsey Summerfield, Jr., exclaimed, “If I weren’t here, Id be a millionaire, so l’d be busy counting my money!“ If they were not involved in the class- room, Ms. Farmer and Mrs. Schoeder would probably cross the threshhold of politics, but dance teacher Ginger Folmer has her eyes on Broadway, where she would like to choreograph. Sharing the spotlight with Mrs. Folmer, Mrs. Schlidt cheerfully said, “Should I not be teaching, I would be a famous artist, ‘calligging’ my life away stylishly. As a teacher do you address the affective domain or the in- tellectual domain of a student? Affective domain 70.8% Intellectual domain 16.7% Both 8.3% Mr. Yenger is never too busy to lend an ear and a helping hand to his students who are eager to learn.
