No comment not come during the school year, but the months or years afterwards, when students write or call back from their jobs. There are five of my former students working for the FBI all in the same office. The first one of the five is now the office supervisor. Their presiding officer nicknamed the five girls Weber's Wonders. No comment. The academic resource center Business The Business Education Depart- ment has been busy preparing students for the business world. The methods of preparation that are offered to the students of N.P.H.S. include work ex- perience, wages, field trips, and classroom work related to the real world. The faculty in this department have been exploring a variety of ac- tivities to constantly improve students' efforts in dealing with an ever- increasing complex world. 6 Faculty Dave Haxton No comment. Kevin Smith My amusing incident occurred to me as a brand new teacher at N.P.H.S. I met, almost simultaneously, my new principal and head counselor and wandered whether I had in- advertently signed a contract with Tulsa Unified. The Academic Resource Center is a small group instruction class whose main function is to combat the cookie cutter con- sciousness that pervades much of public education. The students and teachers who make up the center, realize that not everyone comes from the same academic mold, and tererfore strive to adapt the program to the needs of the stu- dentp something they have found to be a rather rare and novel concept.

Charles Carroll My most memorable students have been those who sincerely wanted to learn and gave me the opportunity to share with them my vast store of knowledge. Darlene Feller, D.C. My first trip to Europe for a fantastic 2Vz months is my most memorable event. Lynnette Shifman During my first year of teaching, a CLC hall monitor yelled, Stop, students can't go in there. I am not a student, I said. He wouldn't believe me and I was lacked out of my classroom. Phyllis Micale No comment. Charlotte Parris No comment. Amy Reed Being the belly-dancing P.E. teacher in the faculty play last spring and see- ing several of my innocent students' shocked faces front row center! R. Clark Hunter My most memorable students have been those Russian students who taught me to like Ivan Rebroff and those who started the custom of awarding hero medals in class. Also, those geography students who went with me to Heartland, USA. Mary lane Watson No comment. 0.-,gl .X Ls.

I was given 45 youngsters and virtually no materials with which to work. Despite all obstacles, it was a truly broadening experience for all of us. Aside from the usual classroom activity, the foreign language department has been busy sightsee- ing. Numerous events and celebrations from different coun- tries take place in the Los Agneles area, and the foreign language students share in the festivities by taking field trips - German students went to Alpine Village, and some Spanish students spent the day at Olvera Street. French, Italian, and Russian students were busy sampling the food from their par- ticular country. faculty 155

lim Crowdis No comment. Bill Brandt No comment. Norm Barker When Tom Saputo was washing his hands at the sink, only he didn't know that there wasn't a drain pipe. Consequently, he was washing his shoes also. Bill Beaubien lsn't it wonderful what the students can do with their hands-and feet! lan Branham The surprise party that the 1974 Pawprint staff gave me is one of my fondest memories as a teacher. I'II always have a soft spot in my heart for those people and our growing together. lim Ganser No comment, Lin Thomas In the machine shop we have a unique situation in which I, as the in- structor, can give much individual help, My boys are not a number, but a person who I get to know and hopefully understand. This, then, shows me the good in each of the boys, and helps me understand the why's of his shortcomings. I like to, then, remember all my boys, not just one or a few since each of my students has taught me something. I really like my job. Herb Henderson My most memorable event in teaching was the day the pipes in the boys' rest room were broken and flooded the wood shop. Industrial Art The Industrial Education Department has been quite busy this year. They have added two new members, Mr. Bill Beaubien and Mr. lim Ganser, both in the wood area. The department worked together at the Ventura County Fair placing third for their display. Mr. Barker and his Architecture ll class are currently involved in the design and con- struction of the memorial mar- quee.
