Harry Strubbe cracks a ioke at the teachers' Christmas party. Through Their patient direction, teachers pre- pare us for graduation and the future. Their aim is to produce capable citizens with high principles and useful skills. Teachers are busy throughout the school year. They participate in charity drives, aid extracurricular activities, and attend numer- ous meetings. They work closely with the ad- ministration to evaluate educational prog- ress and problems. They also find time to grade papers, prepare lessons, and average grades. A Christmas party for administrators, faculty, and school employees ushered in the holiday season. Retiring teachers were honored at a before-vacation gathering in June. The summer months found many faculty members studying at universities or travel- ing to distant parts of the United States and foreign countries. They acquired new ideas and experiences to transmit to their stu- dents. Others rested for the strenuous year ahead or worked at a wide variety of tem- porary jobs. We want to express our gratitude to these men and women for the many hours they devoted to our well-being and ed-ucation. They were leaders, friends, and parents away-from-home.
