Administration and Faculty The faculty and administra- tion, unlike the students, are a permanent integral part of a school. The student comes as an inexperienced freshman, and four years later gradu ates as a mature senior. He helps Minnechaug to grow, but when he graduates his contribution is completed. The faculty member, however, spends his entire career giving of himself to the school — in his knowledge, interest, and friendship. In the classroom, the teacher interprets his knowledge and ex- perience to the student. Through his guidance, he hopes to help the students grow toward the maturi- ty each one is seeking. He also shows his interest by supporting Minnechaug ' s teams and productions, and by directing his activities with enthusiasm. And, because of Minnechaug ' s size, he is able to offer friendship to the student, thus helping to create an atmosphere of warmth and security. It is the faculty who have put the educational building block of Minnechaug in place and who have made it not just a building, but an edifice of learning.
