Mrs. Jean Bogan — Eng lish Mr. Henry Brady — English “Teaching is not programming, any more than learning is a rote response. Rather, they involve a mutual search for a content and a method which promote communi- cation and understanding. On good days, I communicate and sense some understanding.” Miss Isabelle Brown — librarian “Never a dull moment.” Mrs. Rose Burns — nurse “My work at Classical has been very rewarding. Looking after the health of teen-agers can present many problems, but with the co- operation of teachers and stu- dents I feel we do very well.”’ Mrs. Mildred Cabana — counselor “T see my job as a service ... to secure and distribute information of all kinds. I deal with communi- ty problems, personal problems, even legal problems.”’ jyueVIOdWy] ay We)
