Due to a shortage lassrooms, Puffer had no classroom of his own I changed rooms each period. Instructing in the Little Theatre is drama teacher Ms. Michelle Ferguson. In addition to her drama class, she is involved in the produc- tions of the school plays. Teachers Fit In First impressions have long been acclaimed as extreme- ly important. This held true for all new teachers who joined John North ' s staff in the 1984-85 school year. I ' m in love with the students, said Michael Emett, a new Eng- lish and social studies teacher. Even at first glance you can tell they ' re all individuals and have great pride. Emett ' s attitude seemed to be reflected in his stu- dents. Mr. Emett seems to have respect for us. said Jamie Beu- shong. Most of the new teachers includ- ing Carmen Benchoff (Foreign Language), Charles Craig (Instru- mental Music), Michelle Fergu- son (English Drama), Mary Klokke, Penelope Urbach, Gary Puffer, Dianne Kobz (all Math), Marilyn Mooney (Social Studies), and Daniel Penn (English Speech) felt similarly, but Rebec- ca Porter (P. E. Social Studies) had a different perspective. I went to North when I was in high school, so my first impression is from awhile back, but 1 must ad- mit I like being on this side. I ' d rather be chasing Jaws than teaching at a high school, joked Puffer. But seriously folks, I ' ve loved the experience. It ' s an easy place to fit in. .Ji- new teachers 157

f Enjoying a vacation in Morocco, Mr, Lauro Canales tries his hand at camel riding. Canales and his wife spent four weeks touring Morocco and Spain. Walking through the woods in upstate New York, Mr. Ron Crandall pauses tor a picture. I loved upstate New York. It was a great place to rest and relax. Teachers Find Suminer Diversions y the time summer comes ' around, I ' m looking forward to the break as much as the students, said Mr. Tom Kennedy. Faculty antici- pation of vacation time generally proved surprising to students who thought that they were the only ones fed up with school. In actuality, stu- dents weren ' t the only ones who were ready to get away. Traveling was one of the most popular ways of spending a vacation. I was able to spend some time with my wife (on his ranch in Texas and abroad) and ei joy some peace and solitude, said Mr. Lauro Canales. I went as far as Tahoe and San Diego, but the sights were great, added Miss Delia Lopez. Europe with a friend and their teenage daughters was the highlight of Mrs. Judy Curtis ' vacation. Although traveling was one way of using their time, there were other ways in which teachers spent their va- cations. Taking classes at UCR sounded better than going to Tahiti joked Mr. Chuck Libolt. I love to teach and do not mind teaching in the summer, said Mrs. Connie Fortier, but added with a smile, summer school doesn ' t take all summer. Even though I spent part of the sum- mer working at the race track, it was a break from school, said Mr. Ron Crandall. While some took classes at nearby colleges, others worked, and still more just stayed home and rested. They all agreed that vacation was one of the best remedies for school fa- tigue, -i- summer activities 159
