FACULTY CDF Gr. l-T. S. Behind each door at Galesburg High School there can be found at least one teacher. Since we have many doors we also have a great many teachers, but here at GHS, quantity will never be known to triumph over quality, and our teachers are no exception. Each faculty member co-operates with the rest to develop Well-balanced, active, useful citizens of tomorrow's world. There are many people on the faculty who are always ready to lend a hand to anyone who happens to be in need of advice. Besides helping students academically, many members of the faculty are advisors for various clubs and organizations here in school. These teachers are prepared to listen to all the students' tales of woe and to help them clear their problems. They always find time to help us with the many problems we bring them. This willing guidance makes our life at school much more pleasant. During the past school year, we learned a lot about teachers. Aside from being a group of swell teachers, they all have a sense of humor which is supposedly uncommon among teachers. All of us have criticized our teachers at one time or another, but we should realize that they know what is best for us. Have you ever stopped to realize how much time teachers spend at their work: correcting papers and preparing the next day's plan? They devote much of their time to their work from which we benefit. All of the extra work they do is seldom appreciated by the student body. We present our faculty who have made life so happy for us here at GHS. As they watch the seniors leave school to take their places in the world, they can be sure that they have done much to help them have an equal chance at success. This could only be true in a democracy where we have teachers pre- paring students for their life ahead. We wish to congratulate our faculty on the fine job they are doing in the field of education.
