Truly classy : Refined, tasteful—jusr different words to say the same thing—classy. Well, our facul- ty at MN found its own and even differ- enf ways fo say Ir. Mr. Bob Blanner: ‘Whar | admire most about McCluer North is the way the school has a genuine interest in the students. I’m impressed with the way the students re- spect and take care of the school with such little vandalism. | don’t think other schools are nearly as personable as this one.” Mrs. Barbara Huffmon: ‘Two things sticks our in my mind abour North; one is the freedom fo do things you want without a lor of hassle, which makes for the good atmosphere here. The other is the advise- ment program. It’s very well organized and is certainly the best of others I’ve seen. | also think the relations here are great—the teachers, principals and students ger along so well together.” Mr. Carl Yochum: “McCluer North is a beautiful facility which helps maintain the good atmosphere that we have. The sraff has a great deal fo offer and together with the high standards ser, the students are get- ting a quality education.” Newcomer Mrs. Par Etling: ‘| think I’ve come from the worst school ro the besr. If the students don’t like ir here, I’m sure they won't like ir anywhere else. | really admire Mr. Hampton and the way he runs the school — the school reflects the principal. There are a lot of positive feelings here; visifors comment thar they never hear any negatives while they're here. And they’d berter nor—it’s the best place around!” i it ij i 5 x

An itch you just can't scratch!’’ pon- dered Ms. Nera Pope. Teacher's pet peeves ranged from teeth grinding to sharpening pencils during the middle of a lecture. Pet peeves—a part of teaching since day one! No one knows why these little “quirks” developed bur watching teachers pull our their hair would indicate thar these “‘quirlxs’’ had become more of a mountain than a molehill. The one thing thar bothers me the most is when kids inferrupr class to tell me if the room is too hof or too cold,’’ commented Mr. Dave Carpenter. This was the most irritating information his students could en- lighten him with. And there was the one perf peeve hared by almost everyone. Ir was the one thar would send chills up your spine. That was the dreaded fingernails running down the blackboard. Other common pet peeves included poor excuses for unpreparedness, noise in the halls, and getting ready fo leave before the bell had rung. Per peeves were nof something to gef all steamed abour, bur nevertheless they srart- ed the blood pressure ever upwards. In her Algebra Il class Irene Squires explains the assign- ment for the day.
