She always prints her name. What are teachers always crabbing about? After all, they get the whole summer off. She looks like a teacher. I hear the reason she never married was she had an unhappy love affair. Surely you must be mistaken. My son wouldn't have said a thing like that to anyone - even a teacher. The job pays 53500, and, of course, you'll coach the dramatics club, chaperone the Friday night dance, take the tickets at the football games, and . . .H q'Naturally, your private life is your own, Miss Jones, but this is a small town and we've never had a woman teacher who smoked in publicf' Frankly, the opportunity for advancement is limited, but you'll have the satisfaction of molding young mindsf' I don't know where he picks up such language - unless it's in school. Teacher, if you don't excuse me right now - well, you'll be sorry. If you cant keep my kid in line that's your problem. I-Ie,s never any trouble at homef, -i? l' .ll nil, A T ,A ' f- r A gli ,Aw 12

It is a counselor,s job to guide the couwstt iu i 1' f ag, is gtg! ,, lx students through their high school years, to lead them on the path to maturity, and to show them the way to success in later years. These duties have been carried out very well by our staff of counselors. 111111 M - MISS MARIAN ALDRICI-I Every morning students are lined up ten and twelve deep waiting for excuses as the counselors are furious- ly working to get everyone to class on time. All through the day students come filing into the offices with phony-sounding excuses as to why they werenit in class or why they were late. But the counselors are al- ways human, giving the students the benefit of the doubt until they talce advantage of the situation, then the counselors revert to form and their stock answer - Five zero hours! We're all grateful for this guidance from our counselors which made our high school years more beneficial and helped us with our plans for later life. Even though other students take our places, filling up their time and thoughts, we will never forget our counselors. ,NA N MR. HAROLD VROMAN MR, FRED WAGNER 47 i 2 fa Vx MRS.

Get her a nice glass of fruit punch. It's all the board can afford to pay you, Miss Jones, but we donit feel it loolcs right for you to be working extra as a cashier in the dime stores on Saturdaysf' What in the world do you teachers do with all your spare time? We can't live with them, and we canit live without them. They're mostly nice but sometimes cranky and often un-understanding-like mothers. Teachers provide the spark of life for deathj to the eager students who throng and beat down the doors of F.I-I.S. early every morning. The beaming countenances of our elders greet us and start our day off right with a bang.
