SHS teachers put in many extra hours The teachers at Seaholm put in many hours beyond the call of duty to help the students, to make a better school. Many teachers spend much time after school giving individual help to students experiencing difficulties with certain phases of their work. This is the most obvious example of their extra effort. ln addition, the faculty feels an extra strain when pupils are absent. They must write up new tests, they must proctor the absentee students, they must aid the students in making up their work. But again, the obligation is purely a moral one. Lesson plans are a time consuming chore not immediately apparent. Never- theless, any well run class requires them, It might also be remembered that a test which only takes an hour to complete in class often requires five or six hours to write and correct. To create a fuller school life, teachers volunteer to spend time with extra- curricular activities. Every club needs a teacher to sponsor each of its meetings. Every school dance, every play requires adult chaperoning. J-Hop in particular requires teacher assistance. All senior activities are guided by teachers as well as students. Field Day involves many teachers on the committees and in the home- rooms. Also money raising drives and class finances have teachers overseeing the organization. Last but not least, homeroom and all associated activities place far reaching responsibilities upon the teacher. Going beyond the call of duty, Miss Ecklund, a new mathematics teacher, stays late after school to help students like Doug Moore, Dave Mazur, Bill Holmes, Bill Wertz and John Aulgur.

Teachers serve the community Once a teacher leaves Seaholm at the close of the day, he assumes another role - sometimes that of a parent - sometimes that of a community servant in various roles. A teacher is seen in many activities as he lives a full and busy life. As a member of a family, the Seaholm teacher sets a good example for the upbringing of his children. As a parent he also becomes involved with other people's children and helps guide them to a well rounded life. Several teachers, and their wives, serve as Sunday school teachers, some lead choirs, others help young boys become physically fit while developing football and baseball skills in the Birmingham Little Leagues. Teachers also serve as leaders of boy and girl Five members of Seal1olm's faculty who remained active in the reserves gather to compare their past experiences. They are Lt. Colonel Cavanaryp in many ways in various roles scout troops, cub packs and brownie troop. Teachers also serve their community by getting involve with local politics and charity drives. Many have served the country in the armed forces in the past years and several sti serve actively as members of the army and air force reserv units. Last but not least, teachers become part of the corr munity by just living in the community and becoming gooi neighbors. About 2O'Ma of the total instructional stalf of th Birmingham Public Schools live in Birmingham - better tha a third of the Seaholm faculty live in Birmingham, thereb attesting to their support of the community.
