WILLIE PRCUDLV DEDICATES THE I964 EMO ECHO TO MR. IRVING IRISH There's a very interesting classroom down in the middle of the first floor. Structurally, it's just a classroom like any of the others, but there the resemblance ends. The room becomes very personalizedg it is filled with the spirit of the teacher, a man deeply interested in his subject. A small but adequate green house has been erected in a corner of the room. In it are growing many interesting and rare plants. On mantles in the front and back are perched Various birds and small animals, all stuffed by the teacher and his students. All along one other wall, on a high bulletin board, are tacked numerous prints of plants and birds. Everything has been carefully collected, taken care of, and put up by loving hands. A great many students enter this room as sophomores who are taking biology in order to fulfill their laboratory science requirement. Some return to take the advanced course of Zoology and botany. In addition to the textbook work, Mr. Irish provides variation by having films and lab work, including the proverbial dissection of the frog. Sometimes he reads articles relating to the studies which he has clipped out of various newspapers and magazines over the years. Mr. Irish carne to us from Kellogg, Idaho, where he had taught. He was raised in Idaho and attended the University of Idaho in his student days. Idaho's loss is our gain. , Students enter the classroom at the start of the school year, thinking that they are just going to put in their time and receive their credit. But it doesn't work out that way, They become fascinated by the study of plants and animals and want to learn more. Thank you, Mr. Irish, for being such a good teacher.
