From Math to Marlin Upon entering room 303, one would think one was enter- ing the room of an old salt of the sea. Fishing nets, filled with shells and aquatic crea- tures, adorn the walls; then one notices the computers in the corner and the numerical formulas and equations writ- ten across the board. This must be a mathematics class of Miss Robbie Crisp. Miss Crisp came to Mona- can last year after teaching at Providence Jr. High School. She grew up in Richmond and attended Manchester High School. Although she originally planned to become a physical education teacher, she stud- ied math at Longwood College and took Computer training courses at Hampden-Sydney. To further her education she has enrolled in a graduate pro- gram in math education at Vir- ginia Commonwealth Universi- ty. The best aspect of teach- 132 ing, is getting to work with young people,”’ she says, ‘‘the worst is all the paper work en- tailed.’’ Miss Crisp enjoys the school spirit and unity at Mon- acan. She is glad to see so many students enrolled in computer programming courses and feels that in the next 25 years every family will have a computer in their homes. Miss Crisp now goes to Cape Hatteras every summer and almost every free week- end. She catches mainly game fish such as sailfish and blue marlin, and frequently encoun- ters sharks, dolphins, and tuna, but does not believe in killing big game fish for show. Ms. Crisp proves that teachers are not one-sided creatures, in fact, they are quite normal. Catch of the day. After a tiring day at sea, Miss Crisp shows off her catch of the day.

They organize clubs, chaper- one dances, and give their support to all the sports teams. This year the students be- came even more aware of the teachers’ dedication. They were forced to work to the contract to bring their salary problems to the attention of the school board and board of supervisors. Many extra cur- ricular activities were can- celled and their point was cer- tainly made. Whether in the classroom or after school Monacan’s teachers enriched all educa- tional endeavors.
