A Teacher ' s Day Getting ready for class was a big part of the typical day for Manual teachers. Preparation for class in- cluded activities such as mental preparation, getting lesson plans ready, keeping records, and doing background reading. The preparation period was an important time for teachers. Some things that the teachers could be found doing during this time were grading papers, making plans for classroom, and writing or typing quizzes and tests. All of a teacher ' s work was not done during the school day or in the classroom. Most of the teachers had homework to do just as most of their students did. A big part of a teacher ' s job was to determine what was to be taught that day and then to plan the lesson. A teacher must anticipate as many problems as possible that students may incur, noted math teacher Mrs. Madora Walker. Many teachers said that the har- dest part of their day was finding time to keep up with the paper work required for the classes they taught. While the school day was a busy one for most teachers, it was not without its rewards. For Mrs. Toni Hammer, English teacher, that reward came when an idea ' clicks ' in the classroom. MRS. MARILYN DEVER delivers a lecture to her speech class. BUSY WITH RECORD keeping, business teacher Mrs. Phyllis Sullivan turns her attention to an incoming student. SOCIAL STUDIES teacher Mr. Fred Belser uses a diagram to illustrate a point in his government class. 28 Teachers at Work
