bsent teachers Subs gain experience It's a change of pace to have a substitute teacherfl one senior said. Substitutes gave students a totally different teaching approach. A student had his own advan- tages when there was a substitute. You can switch your seats in class and sit by your friends,'i junior Carolyn Berg said. While some students ap- preciated the advantages, others didn't. They can't control the class, sophomore Sam Benigo said. They do not tell anyone to quiet down. They can't handle people very well, and they never understand the work you are do- ing, sophomore Wendy Kolarik said. Although instructors used substitutes to help, many teachers did not like to be absent. I miss the students. I do not like to be gone, biology teacher Mrs. Kathy Bodner said, It is hard for a sub- stitute to be in the classroom and not know the subject. It is easier to help the students with their assignments. I feel pretty good about having a substitute teacher, but I usually prefer not to have them, English teacher Mrs. Zita Prater said. Beingia substitute had good and bad points. I enjoy high school age students. It is an excellent part-time job, Mrs. Carol Winter- bottom said. However, at times she felt her job required more babysit- ting than teaching. When teachers were absent from school, substitutes guided students using their own ideas and influences. As a result, substitutes became more familiar with the students by helping them and gaining teaching experience. jBua 8: Inglej During the announcements, substitute Mrs. Arlene Bakner makes sure the students stay quiet in study hall.IPellerin1 Student Lifcf-Substitiites

Chandelle was a non-school sponsored dance in which the senior girls invited the junior girls. Here, junior Kathy Sohl receives her corsage from senior Eric Millerman before leaving for the dance. at's the difference? Students stand out in many ways As students walked down the halls, it seemed easy to distinguish sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Each class had differences which gave students their own class distinction. For the seniors, the year gave mixed feelings. Getting measured for caps and gowns and ordering their graduation announcements made the seniors realize that the end of high school was near. Although they looked forward to graduating, some seniors were sad about leaving. After spending three years here, I'm sorry to be going, but I'm looking forward to 36 X Student Life-Class Distinction college, senior Brenna O'Neill said. Next in line were the juniors. They looked forward to the coming year. Getting their class rings made them feel more a part of the school. The senior girls helped junior girls feel more secure by organizing Chandelle, which was a dance that was not school spon- sored. When I saw the pink envelope in the mailbox, I was so excited, junior Terri McConnell said. Last were the sophomores. Com- ing to a new school was over- whelming for some students. K i 'eg Gia UThe teachers expect more from you than they did in junior high, sophomore Michelle Marcus said. Sophomores didn't have as many privileges as the upperclassmen did. Some felt left out because they weren't able to drive. I felt I was being treated like a baby, sophomore Carrie Roberge said. Although they enjoyed their own class distinctions, each class looked forward to becoming a year older so they could gain new privileges and distinction. I can't wait to be able to go to Chandelle next year, sophomore jackie Lain said. llvlaclvlorranj Q 3? Q 5 x W. L31 'Nw QW-. ,W , QQ , .E .5 is
