Students Test Old Saying o For many years there has been a secret drive among students to test to the crucial point the ageless saying that teachers are human. Many have come to the conclusion that this animal, the teacher or faculty member, who makes it to school at 8 every morning, Cvvell, almost every morningj who smiles almost continuously from first period to seventh every day, Who yells at a game until he can barely Whisper, yet Who makes it to school the next morning at 5 a.m. to board a bus for a 200-mile trip to a club convention, and who still can give a quiz the following Mon- day Without even blinking an eye, could never be human. Instead he must be a super form of cs', ' fff.. the human race that has taken some special nerve tonic or pep pills. What is it that makes that animal perform at a night pep rally, that makes him get up so early on a Saturday morning to paint scenery for the senior carnival, that makes him give the student the benefit of the doubt on repeated occasions when there actually is no doubt? Is it some special desire to get up early, an extra under- standing heart, or a hidden love to perform on a stage? Or is it simply a love for teaching, a love for the pupil or a powerful desire to prove to the testing student that teachers are human?
