Double Duty Many people considered theirjobs to re- quire eight hours a day or forty hours per week. This was not true of many North High faculty members. In addition to their regular daily classroom duties, many facul- ty members took on additional school responsibilities. Some of these positions offered no monetary compensation. Those teachers who sponsored each of the four classes did not receive supplements. Each class had at least two faculty sponsors who offered ad- vice, guidance, and direction. Gther faculty-staff members were com- pensated for the additional hours of work.

In some cases, there was bath a varsity and a junior varsity team, and also boys' and girls' teams, The size of the coaching staffs varied with each sport. Not all extra-curricular duties were in the line of athletic coaching. Some faculty and staff personnel served as department heads in each of the subject areas. Others directed dramatic, forensic, or musical ac- tivities. Teachers spent hours after school, in the evening, and on weekends to assist student writers as they met publication deadlines. instructors helped students prepare for competition in their respective areas of talents, while a few even served as chairperson for local and district organizations. Leadership conferences, county festivals, and local, district, and state festivals all took extra time, energy, and patience from faculty and staff. lt is because of this extra commitment to the students of North High School, that our staff has always excelled, and in turn, so have our students. .0 Q 1-A?-F V :- f'7 U: -
