WHY DO YOU FIND TEACHING AT NC WORTHWHILE? The students are practically the only worthwhile reason for being here. The students are receptive to the learning process. ' Most of the student body is open, friendly and willing to meet you half- way... Just as the students are given a good deal of freedom, I feel the teach- ers also have a good deal of freedom. It is worthwhile because of the great need I see for a Catholic Chris- tian education, It is helpful to be with young Catholics and help them in discovering their faith. T find it worthwhile in terms of the informal atmosphere which is evident. Also I enjoy a small school where the teachers can get to know the student on more than a strictly teacher-student level. I feehas though a lot of the kids at NC really need someone to be able to talk to and ask for advice. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE OVER- ALL ATTITUDE OF THE STUDENTS? Needs improvement. ' Depends on the student. . . however, the overall attitude is one of at least an attempt to learn. Tl think that the majority of stu- dents at Newton Catholic are very nor- mal teenagers, basically concerned for the others in their classes as well as for the teachers. Immaturity. Far out, Basically, an attitude held by many students is I we am no good, I'm not worth much, or I can't do it, it's too hard. It is an attitude I strongly disagree with... Many times you find yourself asking: Are they going to come through? And you're kept hanging til the last gun but they always do come through. From the above faculty opinions, it is evident why we appreciate our faculty members. Nl en

So with the end upon us, and a new beginning ahead, we say thank you for showing us how to be our own man. Together they work, making that which we find difficult, easier. Be eee
