THE TEACHER AS A FRIEND What friends have done more for us than our teachers? Who else has helped in so many ways to open the doors of learning to our incomplete and unreceptive minds? Indeed, who among those we call our friends would have sacrificed so many hours in order to teach us matters which we are unwilling and extremely slow to understand? Is there any friend upon whom we can depend to have patience when we do not comprehend their explanation even after numerous repetitions? For example, if a student is lost, who is it who takes him by the hand and accompanies him through the labyrinth of confusion back to the never ending path of knowledge? His teacher, of course. Football, forensics, cross country, class plays, all the other sports, clubs, and extracurricular activities require adult coaching, supervision, and direction. Who donates their time for these activities? Our teachers. Tender memories are evoked by the recalling of past Proms, Homecomings, Hops, and other dances. Who gave up their few free evenings to organize and chaperone these events? our teachers. Susan Soderland. 17
