WHAT IS A TEACHER? Somewhere between the sternness of a parent, and the comradeship of a friend is that mysterious creature we call a teacher. A teacher may come in all shapes and sizes and may be male or female. But they all have one thing in common—a glori- ous twinkle in their eyes! They may be found anywhere, and they’re al- ways preparing for, sitting through, participating in, or recuperating from the teaching of hard- working students. A teacher is not only a teacher, but also—an artist designing next month’s calendar, a doctor or Standing: Mr. Calandra. Seated: Mr. Flannigan. Mr. Gibson, BGS.

Nobody else is so early to rise and so late home at night. Nobody else has so much fun with such a large “family” of boys and girls. Their true reward is the deep, sincere, respect of their past, present, and future students and the community. When they look around them at the skills they've taught, and the youth they’ve built, there is an inner voice from somewhere that says, “Well Done!” Sead “le - F.- i - — Standing: Mr. Haug.

Mathematics With the recent era of space accomplishments, mathematics has gained a new importance. Eden, in keeping up with the times, has advanced its math courses. One of the greatest improvements is the ad- vanced course, starting in eighth grade and con- tinuing through high school. This allows students especially gifted in mathematical ability to take one-half year of college math when a senior. This year about 25 students are taking Math 11. This course consists of a full year of combined intermediate algebra and trigonometry. The stu- dents will then take one Regents exam at the end of the year. 16 Language In this age of amazing and far-reaching scien- tific achievements, we perhaps lose sight of man’s very definite need to communicate with others. Whether this is done through one’s native tongue or through a language acquired in the classroom, the problem remains the same. The gaps between countries, culture, and peo- ple must be bridged in order for the advancement of any field of learning to be of value. This must be effected by a fuller appreciation of the language arts and a more diligent study of modern and classical languages. Muszc Music constantly surrounds us in our modern day living. Through the years it has encouraged several students to join glee clubs and ensembles. Their foundation for appreciating music was laid during their high school years in school. With un- limited opportunities almost everyone may learn to play an instrument or to develop his voice for the enjoyment of others.
