Left. Buy a raffle? Miss Burnett and Mrs. Jones are selling raffles for the Freshman Class. Above. Gossip hour? Mrs. Nichols, Mrs. Cuno, and Mrs. Wilson chat in the teacher's lounge during their lunch hour. Dedication, it comes with the territory. The faculty at N.B. is dedicated. For seven hours a day they challenge students and encourage them, trying to stimulate their minds. They try not to give up on some, failure comes hard for these people. Their school year begins seven days before ours and continues four days after ours ends. Each day throughout the year is planned, so the students can get all from them that is possible. When times get slow the plans are revised and sometimes completely changed, to bring out the student’s potential. Their work is for our benefit and most wouldn’t want it any other way. All that dedication can lead to frustration if they don’t have a special thing to do when away from the classroom. Teachers, like students, have life after school hours, too. What do they do to relax and forget? One vague comment was “I have my fun in Kansas City.” Hm ..doesn’t that make you wonder what kind of fun? Another enjoys “participating and watching sports, and socializing with friends.” Horticulture is a hobby of another and “house plants are my speciality”, she said. Some faculty members relax like the kids. One male faculty member’s idea of relaxation is “I just go home, turn on the tube, and kick back and relax.” A female faculty member’s idea of relaxation after school was to “Make baby quilts, go fishing, go horseback riding, and riding 3-wheelers and motorbikes.” That does sound fun, and it seems that some teachers enjoy their free time as much as the students do. Upper left. Hang on tight kids. Ms. Suttles pulls the parachute with the Fifth Grade. Left. Coach Lawson takes a shortcut through the stage during 4th hour P.E. Above. Make that shot Coach!

Support Staff: Doing Extras for Us! Maintenance per- sonnel, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Love, have the “enjoyable” tasks of cleaning every room, picking up trash, and cut- ting grass. While everyone was gone enjoying the sum- mer sun, these peo- ple completed the much needed repair jobs on the school building. Photo Not Avail- able: David Nolting The bus drivers take extra care to transport us to and from school each day. They are up by 6:00 a.m. in the morning and hit the road by 7:00 a.m. After the morning route, they don’t have too much time to spare. They have to report back to school for the afternoon route by 2:30 p.m. sharp! With their skillful driving in bad weather, as well as good, they get students to and from school on time and in one piece.

By the time the first lunch shift rolls around, we’re tired, grouchy and our stomachs are growling fiercely! But once that bell rings and we get closer and closer to those treasured faces, our mood begins to mellow and our stomachs calm down to a steady dull roar. Finally, we’re going through the lunch line and we’re always greeted by a friendly “hello” and a tray full of food. They work hard and complain little. They are the number one chefs in Callaway County and they’re all ours!! Left to Right: Lucille Mueller, Helen Nichols, Janet Ash, Virgie Reiter, Sharon Nolting 23
