in Education Michael Wagner: M.A. Education At 5:30 a.m. daily, the dreams of many McCluer North faculty members were shattered by the rude buzzing of an alarm clock. “Just ten more minutes,” they would plead as they dragged their weary bodies out of bed and got ready to take a nice, long, relaxing shower. They climbed in and turned on the water and their e yes bugged out the instant the freezing-cold water hit their backs. “Someday, I'll hit the showers before my Kids do,” they said uniformly. The day, for Mr. Linton Luetje, band di- rector, improved a great deal after he arrived at school and heard the soothing music pouring out of his students’ in- structments. “Mornings are absolutely great!” he said. His favorite part of work was teaching his Symphonic, Dixie Land, and Concert Lyle Thompson: Social Studies Department, B.S. Sandy Tompkins: Registrar Industrial Education, B.S.

Art | Ten more minutes!!! Bands. Even when school was out, work still had to be done: grading papers, planning classes, and reading up on current issues were an important part of teaching. The only thing that beat mornings for Mr. Luetje was his four to five mile jog in the afternoon. The hectic day of Mr. Robert Chamber- lain, Social Studies Department Chairman, was a hard one to follow. He spent most of his first and sixth hour helping substi- tutes get their classes together, and the rest of the day teaching World Leaders and Advanced Seminar. Enjoying a break while working on papers, Stan Cox, Joan Avioli, Mile Thacker, and Joetta Alwood, Eng- lish Department, discuss the upcoming North Cen- tral evaluation. Faculty 145
