Hats Off To Teachers Teachers are a rare breed. It takes someone special to teach a class of students all day, give a sigh of relief at the final bell, rush to get records in order for a parent conference, and then dash off to correct all those test papers. Stu- dents at John C. Calhoun are for- tunate to have such a dedicated faculty. The Academy boasts an excep- tional academic program, not only because of students who are will- ing to learn, but also because of a faculty that is willing to go the extra mile to insure that the stu- dents make the most of their op- portunities. Each teacher wants nothing but the best from his stu- dents, and most importantly they’re a solid figure for the stu- dents to look up to and admire. Many of these exceptional men and women give extra time to help students get the WARHAWK out on time, prepare a Thursday night radio broadcast, referee a powder- puff game, sell tickets to athletic events, or encourage a student to finally hit that hard b flat. Our “hats go off” to these people who take young boys and girls and through their influence and lead- ership instill in them pride, confi- dence, and respect for themselves and others.

John C. Calhoun Academy of- fers many extracurricular activi- ties to its students. Involvement is essential and each activity, in its own way, prepares the student for life. Becoming a member of a team, whether it is an athletic team, school band, or science club gives the students a chance to work together. They learn to share ideas, develop attitudes, and get along with fellow classmates. Everyone knows no matter how much time and effort is poured into an activity, it must be backed by enthusiasm, pride, and sup- port. In sports the “good of the team” is stressed and the goal is always a fair game well-played. Whether the players experience a win or a defeat, at J.C.C.A. they always know they’re backed by loyal fans. Students also take pride in marching in the Christ- mas parade or seeing their news- paper in print. Whatever interest a person decides to pursue, he can only be asked to give his best. Ex- tracurricular activities have a unique place at John C. Calhoun and play an important role in helping each student mature into an involved citizen.
