laculiv Story At times the inmates think that the school building would make a nice hotel, if there were no laws compelling them to attend classes, and that the study hall would be twice as nice if there were no teachers to oversee the subversive activities. However, strict as the rules and regulations are and as rigidly enforced as they are by the teachers, still La Porte High School is Home Sweet Home from 7:20 to 4 o'clock. The men and women striving to instill in us a little book lamin' have labored long and nobly. They have been not only our guides but have doubled as advisors, confessors, and companions and have helped in all ways to build our capacity for understanding. They have taught us the required courses, but more than that they have fostered our incli- nations and prepared us for later years by broadening our perspective of life. They have kindled the fire of ambition by a casual word of praise and have kept it burning contin- ually by constant encouragement. They have treated us as grownups and let us feel a little of the burden of responsibility that in later years we will have to shoulder. Their eternal vigilance has prevented many an unsuspecting student from enjoying an afternoon over a coke, and because of this the detention hall has never lacked occupants. The brightest smile accompanied with the well-polished apple has had but momentary success. Sighs may issue forth when the time comes to send out those reminders at mid-term; but even with bitter regret gnawing at their hearts, ther teachers go ahead—out go the slips. Their inherent artistic attitude has led us to dread the return of themes, and we wonder how any one group of people can posssess such an ample amount of grey mat- ter. They have sent us on periodical visits to the inner sanctum of the principal's office. At other times they have complacently let us get by with outrageous misdeeds. Worst of all they have consistently managed to interrupt our sleep for 38 weeks and al- ways when the hero was about to rescue the maid. They have greeted us at the entrance to the football and basketball games and demanded our tickets with an outstretched hand, and woe unto the one who should forget his precious bit of cardboard. However, they have at various times trusted our integrity and allowed us to pass the gate with a promise to bring the ticket on a Monday morning. They have increased our store of knowledge im- mensely but usually with only our passive consent. Yet they are ready to give added impetus to spur us on, extra advice to keep us forg- ing ahead, and timely council to smooth out encountered difficulties. Teaching is their job, but helping and counseling are the sidelines that overwhelm the other in importance.
