I did it! I moved into my new home today! And what a home it is. The price was a little more than I expected to pay but when 1 saw this home for the first time I fell in love with it, and knew I had to have it. It’s a large, airy three- story locker right in the middle of the fashionable part of town — first floor C-wing. I’m around the corner from Communications, Guidance, Adminis- tration, and down the other block is the Security Office and two restaurants. The police are on call 24 hours, there is a round-the-clock maintenance staff, and buses run regularly four times a day. Taxes are low and I hear the school system is one of the finest in the state. Best of all, any time I’m ready for a little excitement, I can just hop over to C-wing Intersection where all the ac- tion is. And the manager of the build- ing, a very nice man with an affinity for bright red jackets, gave me a great deal on the locker. I have a long-term mort- gage with low interest rates, and he’ll pay for the initial redecoration. Knowing he’d pay that bill, I went to town with it. I called the best interior decorator in Cherry Hill and told her to spare no expense. (Trust me, she didn’t!) We finally decided to go for the rustic, cluttered, second-home look. First came the floors. Ideally, they should have been hardwood stained a light shade of oak with a few oriental rugs scattered about, but I was afraid the cats might ruin the oriental rugs, so, for now, I’ve settled for wall-to-wall shag carpeting. The walls are covered with wood paneling, and the furniture is comfortable oversized pieces in sub- dued colors. Oh yes, no curtains! We were totally authentic and put shutters on all the windows except, of course, the large bay window with the beautiful view of the courtyard. Finally, when we were almost fin- ished, we remembered the lock. That took a lot of time. After all, how can you create the perfect locker if the lock’s not right? We combed all the antique shops, flea markets, and warehouse liq- uidations in the area. One day, after leaving the ninth antique shop of the afternoon and preparing to sink into despair, I found it. This lock is truly “The Perfect Lock.” It is a hand-crafted early twentieth-century piece with none of those hard angles or cold metal- lic surfaces I hate so much. It’s a gentle, curving oval shape that opens with a good old-fashioned copper key. It’s gor- geous shade of red-no, closer to mauve. Either way, it blends with the front door perfectly. I'm the first on the block to have an antique lock, and pretty soon I’ll be the envy of all the neighbors! Which reminds me, I haven’t met my neighbors yet. I guess I’ll just have to go over and introduce myself. I can’t wait to see the expressions on their faces when I tell them about the skylight I’m having installed over the jacuzzi. Well, it’s celebration time!! I’m going to put on my fanciest outfit and head for C-wing Intersection to be part of the excitement. See you there!

An Interview With Mr. B. Exclusive To Eidolon down and do one project as completely as you would like. Eidolon: How do you feel this position will bene- fit East’s students? Mr. B.: It gives the students a central person to go to in regards to activities. I make sure that the activities are running properly and that things are going smoothly. The posi- tion is a liason between every facet of the school. I’m like the center of a wheel in that I deal with students, parents, faculty, and administration. Eidolon: How did this position come about? Mr. B.: It’s not the first time they’ve had a coor- dinator at East. There have been ones be- fore, but with declining enrollment and budget cuts, the school decided to do away with it. However, East found it difficult to do without one because with so much go- ing on, someone is needed to coordinate. That’s how it came back. Mr. Belchikoff, respected and well-liked math teacher at East, was appointed the Coordinator of Student Activities this year. In the following interview, Mr. B. talks about his new position as well as about his experiences at East. Eidolon: You have been involved in many diversi- fied areas. Which area of your career gives you the most satisfaction? Mr. B.: Probably teaching in the classroom. I had an experience when I wasn’t in the class- room for three years and that was one of the big reasons why I decided to go back. When I took the job of Coordinator of Student Activities, I wanted to be sure that I would also be teaching class. As much as I enjoy the activities and the coaching, I also enjoy being in the class- room. Eidolon: What is the toughest part of being stu- dent coordinator? Mr. B.: Finding the time to do everything you want to in full. You get to do a number of things, but you don’t find the time to sit Eidolon: If you could teach in another area other than math, what would it be? Mr. B.: I never really thought about it. Probably my minor in college which was history. I would like to teach that because the one thing I miss with math is the possibility of discussion with the students. In math, there are no varied opinions about how x equals 2. It’s just x equals 2 and that’s it. Eidolon: What advantages do you think East of- fers students that a smaller school might not? Mr. B.: Where can I start? The curriculum, activi- ties, and opportunities to be involved are great. If a student takes advantage of ever- ything that is offered, college will be a breeze. There will be adjustments to col- lege life, but it will be a lot easier. Also, there is a great diversity of kids in the school and that helps the students deal with others. The largeness of East is defi- nitely a benefit because of what it offers. Syndication Rights Reserved — Eidolon, Inc. 1985
