countless hours of overtime to help deserving students. Webster’s dictionary defines a teacher as a per- son who imparts knowledge and practical skill. Our faculty does this and much more. They are a group of co-ordinators....never losing their sympathy for youth....keeping abreast of devel- opments in their respective fields....setting an example of mature behavior. These dedicated men and women are always ready and willing to lend a helping hand....patiently discuss problems with a distressed student....or advise understand- ing and professionally. Through our faculty we experience the inspiration of aesthetic enrichment ....the strength of faith in God....and the res- pect and confidence of our fellow man. This is the spirit and essence of our cosmopolitan faculty. ROLLAND OLNEY, attendance officer for the district, is u well- known artist specializing in oil painting.
