Sober Looks Jo Each Day Jerrell Sober, government teacher, salesman and decorator, soloist at Temple B’rith A’chim and St. Paul ' s Episcopal Church, and Progress-Index theatre critic, listed work as his hobby. Mr. Sober compared teaching to missionary work in that you have to love and believe in it to “put up with” the long hours and little pay. Government classes, according to Mr. Sober, serve as a basis for good citizenship. Summarizing his feeling toward the teaching profession, Mr. Sober said, “There has not been a single day in my twenty years of teaching that did not have its unusual aspects. The one characteristic of teaching which keeps so many teachers in the profession is the excitement of each day’s differences — its challenges and its failures. I think I look forward to each day in the classroom as an opportunity to correct yesterday’s failings, or to repeat yesterday’s successes.” Top left: After a morning of fighting the American Revolution in history class, Mrs. Evelyn Nye takes a coke break in the lounge.

Cox Breaks Records — Remains Two Years Jack K. Cox, Sr. was the first chemistry teacher in a long time to remain two consecutive years. His five classes enjoyed the privileges of being in both classroom and laboratory for instructive and practical experience. At the end of the year he allowed the students to choose a few of their own experiments based on individual preferences. A report was then given so the class also could benefit. When not in school, Mr. Cox was most likely seen on the golf course brushing up on his putts. Truly an outdoorsman, his other pastimes included hunting and fishing when weather permitted. A few of his students noted his presence on the baseball field. He umpired several games for our school as a substitute.
