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.

Parents, teachers meet at annual Open House One night at the beginning of the school year during National Education Week, par- ents re-enact the typical school day of their children at Seaholm. Like Sophomores during the first days of September, the adults at- tempt to find their bearings as they search for the room numbers indicated on their schedules. Upon reaching their destinations, the par- ents meet with each teacher tor approxi- mately twenty minutes. At the Open House, the faculty members present the aims of their respective courses, their own approaches to the subject matter, and the difficulties or suc- cesses the classes as a whole are experienc- ing. The teachers also give private counsel to parents who desire a report of their children's progress as individuals. The annual Open House gives both par- ents and teachers an insight into other im- portant aspects of the student's life which they are never able to see first-hand.
