Seasoned Teachers Weather Another Year Mr. Larry Freeman, who is readying some of his fishing equipment for his next fishing expedition, is still thinking of that big one that got away. Now completing his seventeenth year at Neponset High teaching P.E. and history, Mr. Freeman says he enjoys teaching because he likes to work with kids. Camera in hand, Mr. Roger Jepson points out where he wants his subject to stand. Mr. Jepson, who has integrated the use of his camera into his classes, has been teaching math at Neponset for eight years. Mr. Jepson, when asked what he enjoys about teaching, replied, Teaching is like trying to solve a difficult math problem. You work and work at it, and you wonder, ‘Why am I doing this?’, but as soon as you come up with the correct solution, it all seems worthwhile.” Several of the teachers look on with amazement as Mr. Bernhard demonstrates a new toy at the Christmas party.

Teachers Enjoy Wide Range of Interests Readying a piece of equipment for use in his woodworking hobby is Mr. Mark Bernhard. This is the first year Mr. Bern-hard has taught agriculture at NHS. He enioys “The rewarding challenge of changing today's students into tomorrow's winners.” Miss Clark thinks that the cookie she is eating at the Christmas party tastes funny. Arriving at school for another fun-filled day of teaching French and secretarial courses is Miss Marjorie Clark, who has been teaching at NHS for four years. In her spare time. Miss Clark enjoys knitting and crocheting. When asked why she likes to teach. Miss Clark says that she likes the variety-no two days, or students, are ever quite alike. 12

Mrs. Clong, school cook, prepares a tray for one of the hungry students who take advantage of the hot-lunch program at the Grade School. Mrs. Clong was assisted by Mrs. Dorothy Berry the first semester, and Mrs. Carolyn Scott, the second semester. Above right. Sue Norton, Tina Shores, Corky Craine, and Germaine Breitbach provide transportation to and from school, and basketball games, as well as other school activities. In recent years, bus drivers have been also involved in providing transportation to students taking classes in Kewanee. Bill and Germaine Breitbach seem to be doing a good job on cleaning the chalkboard—one of their many duties as janitors at NHS. Being their first year at the high school, both worked hard to keep the school in good shape. Cooks, Bus Drivers, and Janitors Provide Essential Services 14
