And gladly would he learn, and gladly teach, Chaucer very optly ond ably describes our entire teaching staff and administrators at Moriemont High School in this succinct quotation in the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales. Our teachers are constantly broadening their fields of study in order to guide us in our quest for knowledge. The boundaries of our classroom work are not the boundaries of our teachers' work. Their classroom hours are augmented by many additional hours in the prepara- tion for the actual teaching. An inadequate list of the numerous details required of our indefatigable faculty to teach would read something like this: Prepare the daily lessons; prepare tests and semester examinations, check and grade the numerous homework papers and compile reports of the progress of each student every six weeks. They keep abreast of the chonging educational program and somehow find time to attend workshops. Do we students fully appreciate the patience, work, and perseverance necessary to accomplish all of this? Then whom do we call upon to sponsor our extro-curriculor activities? The teachers, of course! More time, patience and creative ability is necessary and is gladly given by them. The theme of our yearbook i5 Working Together. Our teachers epitomize this theme. Visitors to our school have often commented on how smoothly our school runs in all its branches of activity. This smoothness is the result of our Working Together'l under the guidance of our teachers. The responsibility of 0 teacher is tremendous. Amos Bronson Alcott once said: The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciple. Our teachers troin us to think for ourselves, They teach us that we must not take the word of iust one book, but must delve into the broader aspects of Cl subiect and seek all the possible information on that particular subiect. They troin us not only with their knowledge, but also with their understanding. They guide us to realize that although ocodemic learning is of great importance, even more important will be our strength of character with which they have played so great a port in helping us, as students, to develop. So to you, Our Faculty, who so willingly gladly teach go our many thanks for all you have done, and all you will continue to- do to prove that you are not only our teachers, but our friends.
