The Spirit in the Administration Readin', ritin', and 'rithmetic. Perhaps at some schools teachers are just robots that teach the three Vs.M Not so at Fort Lauderdale High. A teacher at L. H. S. is a person who takes an interest in the students. Besides staying up half the night grading papers, he is there to help decorate your Homecoming float. A missed deadline? There's the advisor doing his part to get the paper to press. They are not just robots, but people, and not only people, but friends, demanding little more than respect and cooperation. You are not just a name or a face to a teacher at Lauderdale but an individual, with individual problems and ideas. In the halls of L. H. S. friendly hellos are ex- changed between friends — teacher and student. Whether he's strict or lenient, joking or serious, there is that generosity and earnestness in the faculty member of Fort Lauderdale High found sel- dom in other schools. There'll be many a moment for Flying L boy and girl to remember about the faculty — for each teacher possesses, too, the School Spirit — the Spirit that dominates everyone who's a part of L H. S.
