0 nderstand People It is never boring, admitted Mrs. Nipp, as she talked about what she en- joyed most about teaching geography and German. Mrs. Nipp decided to become a teacher because she felt Every one needs to learn to understand other people. She also loves to tell about different places in the world since she has wide experience and background through travel. And it certainly shows since she spends hours a day working on ways to make her classes more and more inter- esting. Not only did Mrs. Nipp put in extra effort preparing study sheets for her ge- ography class, but spent an immense amount of time with her German stu- dents on special activities. The most outstanding one this year was a German meal that the students prepared as a Christmas present to their parents. Those who participated agreed with their hard-working teacher that ever- ything worked out absolutely WUN- DERBAR ! Almost secluded behind her files, Mrs. Eva Nipp works on plans for a special activity for her Ger- man students.

English teacher Mr. Don Mayer made it clear how he felt about his job. I-Ie said he likes the association both with the students and with his fellow teachers. Before coming to North, Mr. Mayer taught in juvenile hall for 12 years. He enjoyed it, and felt he did a good job. I know I did a good job because the kids got better and I got more delinquent. He really enjoys his job here. He feels each class is unique and each student is different, so he's always excited. An all-around person, he enjoys sing- ing, dancing, all sports, and especially observing people. Mr. Mayer feels his biggest accomplishment in teaching is that he still likes all the kids and be- lieves that there's good in everyone. He still believes highly in the educational system. It's really hard to believe that all of these qualities belong to one man, but that's what makes Mr. Mayer such a fantastic person to know. In a typical scene, Mr. Don Mayer and several of his students are enjoying themselves. National llonor Society lfacultyf l 33
