Teachers Who Make A Difference Teachers had to make a lot of sacrifices this year due to the proposed educational standards of Governor's Clinton and the law stating that all schools would begin the school year after Labor Day. The teacher testing law caused much controversy, bad images and bad attitudes toward teachers. But none of the above affected the teachers' performance in the classroom. They taught with all the compassion and competency as never before. Despite all Iobstacles, their performance was excellent. Giving of time and talents beyond the assigned duties is an attribute of a devoted teacher. These are the teachers who make a difference. D U Critiquing the artwork of Luke Easley and Pam McMillan is Mrs. Debbie White, art teacher. 14 Faculty

focus on INDIVIDUALS Focusing on individuals is shown through this yearbook to show a complete picture of the student body and faculty. The photos focused on many activities and new experiences as athletics, new classes, a new student from Singapore, attending school, and performing the daily routine as going to classes, preparing homework and trying to stay awake during school hours. Each picture is a part of the complete picture of Qurdon High School. Learning how to operate a fixed pulley is Carlton Ollison and Jeff Overton. Adjusting to a new school and culture was easy for Pauline Yap, who moved to Ourdon from Singapore. 16 Division
