3 Teachers Tour Foreign Countries Cultures from as far away as the British Isles and Europe, to the country of Mexico and our own state of Hawaii, helped students grasp a more mean- ingful knowledge of peoples and their customs this year, as three MHS teachers returned from trips made during their summer vacations. The three, Mrs. Sally Bailey, Miss loyce Chrisman, and Mrs. Lois lllingworth, varied their activities from sight-seeing on educational tours to studying the Hawaiian language at the university in Honolulu. Some faculty I members traveled in the United States, attended workshops or seminars, or went back to colleges and universities for advanced train- ing or degrees. Others stayed in Mexico teaching in summer school sessions, coaching Khoury League baseball teams, working, or just catching up with gardening, housekeeping, reading, and the end- less variety of summer activities. During the first of the school year, faculty members and administrators anticipated the arrival of the North Central Evaluating Committee which re-evalu- ated Mexico High School for the first time since 1906 when it first became a member school. Composed of 33 teachers and administrators from colleges and other high schools in the state, the com- mittee spent a week during February at MHS in- specting the building and facilities, visiting class- rooms, and meeting informally with faculty and stu- dent committees in preparing their report. Results of the re-evaluation, received in April, again placed MHS in the AAA category, the highest rating given by the North Central Association, an accrediting agency for the seven-state area. The 78 faculty members, MHS's largest in history, with the addition of teachers this year to staff the new technical school, found time not only to teach but to advise students, coach athletics and dramatics, sponsor clubs, and play basketball for money-raising projects. They supervised such affairs as the prom, the musical, and after-school sports, in addition to their own home, church, and civic activities.
