The other side of the desk For many students at Geneva High, a regular school day means staying around school and going from one class to another. Others, like the seniors in the Student Teacher Assistant Program (STAP) spend part of their day outside of school. STAP is a great deal of work and fun. What makes this program so different from the regular one? Carmen Bello, who plans on being an elementary school teacher, states that, in addition to being fun. “You have to put a lot of time and effort into it. Senior Diana Colby worked at West Street under the guidance of Mrs. Weaver. Diana works on a one-to-one basis to give extra help to her children. To help improve their auditory memory, she played “sound games” with each of the ten. When enrolled in STAP, a student works closely with an experienced, certified teacher. Mrs. Lynch at North Street helped Julie Arthur. As Arthur put it, “It's a good experience working with an excellent teacher. Working with younger students can be a great deal of fun, especially at certain times of the year. Julie Constable worked with Mrs. John at North Street School for Grades 1 and 2. “I loved working with the kids. she said, “especially during the holidays. Julie also said that there is a great deal of enthusiasm toward school projects and fund-raisers. Her class did quite well selling soap for their project. Generally, the seniors in STAP hope to instill a good attitude toward school in the children. Peter Cole In STAP. seniors interested in teaching get some pre-college experience Two of them.

Are you aware that many teachers have pets other than the human kind that always sit in the front row and always receive straight A s? Miss Robbins' pets Cat. Jiggs. and Penny are well-known to Latin students, while those who take Sequential Math are familiar with Wes Kubacki's dog Bear. Years ago Miss Robbins was given a dog by Mary Lou Strawway. The English teacher had found the mutt in her yard. Miss Robbins fed him and put him on a leash outside her home. The next morning there was a leash but no dog. She thought she had seen the last of him until Miss Strawway arrived, carrying the dog in her arms. Miss Robbins named the dog Jiggs Goodpuppy Mahoney after the comic strip Jiggs and Maggie. The cat she acquired at a barbecue. The cat wandered over to her, and Jiggs wasn’t smart enough to bark at it and scare it away. It followed Miss Robbins and Jiggs home and scratched on the windows of the house until it was let in. Miss Robbins named the cat, Cat. It has been a part of her menagerie ever since. In one house Miss Robbins rented, there were bats in the attic. Cat loved chasing and catching them. One time Jiggs chased Cat while Cat was in hot pursuit of a bat through the whole house. Miss Robbins was not pleased. Bear, Mr. Kubacki's dog, often runs with him at the beach. They are also a familiar sight at GHS football games. According to Mr. Kubacki, Bear can often understand the simple math functions that elude students. An intelligent dog, Bear can also answer simple questions. Mr. Kubacki offered as proof Bear's answer to the question “What's up? Bear never fails to reply Roof!” One time, Mr Kubacki says that Bear was sitting in his car and the car began rolling down the street. Passersby were startled because Bear appeared to be at the wheel. It’s no doubt that the four-pawed furry pets can be just as interesting as the two-legged ones in the front row of GHS teachers' classrooms! Leah Abraham Mr. Kubacki's dog Bear proved to be a good student one day when he followed the math teacher to school and sat in on his classes 14 Staff
