LEFT: Sometimes teachers will do anything to keep their students ' attention. Mr. Mike Wisniewski, democracy vs communism teacher, borrowed rabbit ears from a student involved in club initiations, BELOW LEFT: Sister Kathleen worked in the bookstore before and after school, BELOW RIGHT: Mrs. Karen Wedding hugged her sister Angle after a summer visit to Kentucky. Oister Kathleen Walli worked in the bookstore in addition to teacliing family living and consumer education classes. Her students designed their dream house, and learned how to cook gourmet foods. Spanish teacher Mrs. Sue Watson ' s room was decorated with typically Spanish objects: sombrer- oes, pinatas, toreodors and bulls. Occasionally, the odor of spicy food emanated from beneath her door as students brought in Spanish dishes for projects. For Mrs. Karen Wedding Satur- days meant hours of work with the yearbook and newspaper staffs to make certain her students met their deadlines. On more than one occa- sion she could be heard screaming, I am not Superwoman! In addition to teaching journalism, she had three sophomore English classes. How did she unwind? I jogged along the Intracoastal every night. It eliminated all the tension — until the next morning, she said. Mr. Mike Wisniewski ' s job also went far beyond weekday classroom activities. He was football and wrestling coach, staying after school for practice and attending every game and match. Mrs. Judith Wright, Spanish teacher, sponsored a trip to Mexico for students. ACADEMICS 193

Cafeteria Staff Superburgers, etc. Superburger day, Luv, was a popular phrase originated by Mrs. Marie Warren. The Newman ' s cafeteria staff was in charge of fulfilling one of the basic needs of the students: food, and according to Mrs. Warren: We offer nothing but the best. It is top choice food. We rank at the top with the Health Department. The we that Mrs. Warren talked about is Food Services International, the com- pany that sold the food to the students. It began seventeen years ago when Mrs. Warren volunteered to run the little food store in the backyard. Along with volunteer mothers, she sold food such as potato chips, soda, and ice cream when there was only one vary crowded lunch period. One of the mothers fainted from claustro- phobia, she declared. After the little food store, the cafeteria was located where the library now is. Most of the food was in vending machines, and one time a student hit the jackpot on one. Coins scatte red all over the floor. Other students joined in the wealth, said Mrs. Warren. Now the cafeteria is in a separate building next to the gymnasium. Mrs. Warren ran the cafeteria with the help of the following staff members: Mrs. Mary Scalfani, Mrs. Victoria Sermon, Miss Mary Wynn, and Mrs. Jean James.
