Connie Schindewolf and her pictures of her dog. Ray Schoch and his Coke bortle, Doug Lane and his famous TGIF tie. These are just a few of the McCluer North teachers and their distinguishing characteristics. Lab coats, coffee cups, and circuit resrers are among the seemingly unimportant ob- Jects seen daily by the sides of MN teachers. “They're a very important part of my ‘| like to see how long it takes for my students to notice if.’ “It keeps the stuff our of my mustache. ”’ Sentimental value, jobs, practicality, or just plain fun — these idiosyncrasies starred fads throughout the school. Several of Mr. Lane's students cur ties Our of paper and wrote TGIF over them. Then, they wore them every Friday. ‘It’s part of the Friday aftitude,’’ they said. Mr. Luetie was rarely seen around the halls without his coffee cup. ‘If was given to me by a girl who was my drum majorefte for rwo yars. It has a great deal of sentimen- tal value, a greaf deal,”’ he said. Mrs. Connie Schindewolf brought her dog pictures to school when teachers were asked to show off their pets they were proud of. Whar malses her so proud of her dog is the relationshio he has with her car. | They act more lise brother and sister rarh- i er than enemies,’ she commented.

They make the most Onmimi@e Summer: Thar faint glimmer that draws both students and teachers on through the hardships of the school year. With few ex- ceptions, students revelled in just lounging around and spending week nights withour homeworls. Teachers, on the other hand, usually fried to accomplish something worthwhile. Some teachers took trips to foreign coun- tries. Mr. Larry Marsh, for example, tools a group of students to Hagen, Germany. Other teachers spent their summers close to nature. Mrs. Mary Krieg spent some time backpacking in the Cascade Mountains and also did some white water rafting. Mr. Ray Schoch visited the Rocky Mountains, and Mr. Ted Lotz did a lot of camping with his family. “We won the Missouri Camping Award for camping in five different state parks, ’’ he said. The owner of a painting company, Mr. Chris Brown worked for himself during the summer. Mr. Rick Gwyder also did some painting and helped establish Florissant Ju- nior High in the process. Genealogy was a hobby thar kepr quire a few teachers busy during the summer. Miss Neta Pope went to North Carolina and traced all of her ancestors back five genera- tions. She even traced one of her ancestors back to the day he came fo this country, in 1633! Closer to the present, more than 2000 people visited Mrs. Jeanne Garafalo'’s 105 year old Lafayette Square home. Overall, teachers seemed fo find summer jobs thar were both hard worl and fun.
