TEACHER FEATURE Mr. Brooks by Teri McClain The spring time comes blossoming new things only for them to leave us as the cold of winter hits hard. It is sad but we know they will come again with the sunshine and warm weather, but until then, they’re gone and Life goes on. The busy day is here with the traffic pile up, the business meetings, school work, grocery shopping, family out- ings, and just the everyday problems, but as the night falls we see that touch of winter that took the new things away and we know that this day is gone and Life goes on. Life in a person is somewhat like the flowers in spring. The difference is as the end comes near we know the one we love will never face the spring again. As we lose our oye ey PllMesttCiame-tencaeelel ae they’re gone and Life goes on. Mr. Brooks was a loving individual His love.was for every student no mat- ter what race or ethnic background. He extended his love to his fellow teachers as well as his students FvaXe | family. Mr. Brooks had what people might call the mark of a good teacher. He was patient. With all his students no matter what the problem might be he could find the time to display what the Bible considers as brotherly love. He was in full self-control. Mr. Brooks was impathetic. He could put himself in the place of oth- ers. He could rejoice with those who rejoiced and weep with those who wept. He was honest in the sight of man (taken from Romans 12:9-21) Mr. Robert Evans, vocational direc- . tor describes Mr. Brooks as ‘‘a man of many talents who loved to work. He was a good husband, an understanding father, a master craftsman who loved to teach his trade to those who wanted to learn, but most of all he was a friend. He will be greatly missed by . those whose lives he touched.”
