Mrs. Crumb ' s ambition was to major in journalism and to even- tually write for a newspaper, but her father had other ideas. He talked her into getting her teaching credential for something on which to fall back. Once sne began her student teaching, she absolutely loved it. I wondered why no one had ever told me that teaching was fun, she said. Mrs. Crumb grew up in Hamilton, Ohio, a city of about 80,000, which she called a small town in terms of attitude. My family was permissive, but education was very important, she said. She remembers high school as always being heavily academic. Her schedule inclucl- ed four years each of language, math, science, English, history and journalism. She graduated second in her class. Academics didn ' t entirely make up high school life; Mrs. Crumb remembers getting together with friends to do a variety of things. She recalls that partying as it is today is entirely different from when she was in school. She attended Miami Universi- ty in Ohio to obtain her degree, and she has been teaching for twelve years. The best part of her job was that there was always something new. I never have to do anything the same way twice, she said. She also enjoyed all her students. Because she Mrs. Crumb at age 22 taught differently each year, she never got bored. During her years of teaching, Mrs. Crumb has seen three ma- jor changes in the field. She sees much more em- phasis on the idea of a variety of teaching methods and the dif- ferent ways in which individual students learn. She believes that more responsibility has shifted from parents to the schools and to the teachers. Education occupies a lower priority, not just with students but with society in general, she said. She believed that this is a dif- ficult time for teenagers to grow up in, and she liked being able to help students find their way through the maze of pitfalls there were. by Amy Lynn Jacques, loanne: Lanugage Arts lobe, Jessie: Language Arts joost, Carol: Attendance Secretary Keating, Tom: Special Education Kelly, Ray: Naval Science Kidder, Roy: Physical Education Kutscherousky, Leila: Hall Monitor Loomis, lohn: AV ETV Lopez, Mary: Language Arts Louden, Kathleen: Language Arts Faculty

While most teenagers his age went to parties to drink, he went for another reason. I r emember I used to eat lemons just to be different, he said. When he attended Reno High, Mr. Hunter had a habit shared by many students today. Because he didn ' t find his classes interesting, he didn ' t do his homework. When an assignment was supposed to be handed in, I would tell tall tales until I got caught, laughed Mr. Hunter. That lack of interest in his high school classes probably contributed to Mr. Hunter ' s uni- que and effective methods of teaching chemistry to his classes. Students found atoms easy to relate to because he compared them to dancing boys ana girls, liffy Pop popcorn, which he allowed students to cook over bunsen burners, kept students attentive during his better- than-Rambo films. He related the lessons to everyday situations and com- pleted the almost impossible task of making learning fun. Mr. Hunter hadn ' t always planned to become a teacher. In fact, when he was young he hoped to become a dairy farmer in Utah. I wanted to milk cows from morning until afternoon, he said. Mr. Humeral 13 In his twenty-three years of teaching, Mr. Hunter saw several changes. The most pro- minent change was the cTress code. When I first began teaching, girls had to wear skirts everyday. And if a boy ' s haircut was below his collar, ne would be expell- ed, he explained. The dress code certainly came a long way as did Mr. Hunter. From a teacher with a yearly salary of $5,100, he suc- ceeded in becoming not only the chairman of the Math and Science Department but also an appreciated teacher and friend of many students. Students could always count on Mr. Hunter to be a good sport and participate in student assemblies. by Michelle Struthers Reinhardt, Jack: Math Science Rhea, Kennedy: Naval Science Roberts, Linda: Language Arts Savenelli, Tony: Business Scoggin, Norman: Vice Principal Seely, Dick: Special Education Shank, Carol: Administrative Secretary Slaby, Robert: Principal Science Smithwick, Shelley: Band Spofford, Vaughn: Counselor Faculty (?f
