Mr. Thomas Lalley, Mr. Fred Wisher, Mr. Steven Rose, Mr. Edward Drake MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT A high school teacher's responsibility begins with the accurate, concise, under- standable presentation of knowledge. His material must sufficiently absorb the students' attention so that memory captures the matter and a lasting substructure of background is implanted fthe student builds his own House of Intellect as he continues through lifej. High School training is the bedrock from which our adult citizens continue their quest for education. But if a teacher sought only to develop the retention of knowledge, memory would become the prime function of the brain, and like ancestor-adoring Confiscionists our suc- ceeding generations would revere solely the past. Instead the teacher's job demands that he help to expand the student's faculty of intellect by accentuating the creative imagi- nation, in a word the student must reason, must begin to think for himself. The power to form individual judgements and, if necessary, resist the opinion of the crowd, is a necessary part of education. Without creative imagination progress, be it philosophic, material, or spiritual, will grind to its own clumsy distinction. Finally the teacher must, somehow, stimulate the student to such a pitch of enthu- siasm that self education, curiosity and inquiry into the thing' of life becomes a settled attitude of the post high school person. Without enthusiasm even the expanded intel- lect with the creative imagination may suffer from the disease of pessimism or negatism. The truly professional high school teacher is a man or woman to be valued. 8 ffiix N VN fl Selig? ff T f 'T3N X xl! ,N x XX f X-ff X 'Q ,, f- fi H 1 I f -5 tl lj tfkafsf Q f M-.acre X.
