Dedicated mentors love jobs When choosing the name of the annual, the 1976-77 yearbook staff considered many possibilities before coming to a final decision. Bas- ed on its special definition, Citadel was selected because the staff believed that Irvine High was a place dominated by special people. Today, the concept still holds true, but the definition is more evident in the faculty. The faculty members are a special group of people dedicated to improve the process of learning. Because of their expertise, extra-curricular activities and their love for students and teaching, Scott Fier and Ellen Kesier were chosen among the elite to become the newest members of the Faculty Hall of Fame. Starting the tutoring program at his alma mater, Fier first became interested in teaching as he aid- ed fellow classmates with their homework. After graduating from Newport Harbor High with honors, Fier continued on to UCI where he double-majored in Biology and Chemistry. Aside from attending his classes, he was also involved with the tutoring program and coached baseball during his free time. I like teaching and students, said Fier. It ' s very gratifying to see other people become suc- cessful, knowing you had something to do with that success. N lr. Fier is basically a very nice person, said Senior Patricia Quiros. He cares about you and is always willing to listen if you ever have a problem. Beginning her teaching career in Melbourne, Australia, Kesier came to IHS in 1979. Once here, she helped organize the fwlath Independent Study program and revise the Geometry program, prov- ing that she was an expert in her field. Aside from being involved in the curriculum, and a member of the Program Improvement Council, Kesier takes the time to participate in rallies and contribute her talent as a musician by performing with the all-faculty De-Gap group. Mrs. Kesier is a caring person and goes out of her way to help you, said Colin Tepfer. She makes learning fun by sharing jokes which were pretty good — sometimes!! — by Gia Villanueva MATHEMATICAL MIME: Demonstrating her special gift for communication, Ellen Kesier helps a student understand a mathematical concept.
