This is but one type of question that former stu- dents ask him as they quote one of his well-known quips while encountering him years later. This witty yet learned teacher regularly used humor to emphasize the impor- tance of politeness and responsibility. For example, on one occasion he jok- ingly fyet seriouslyj told a student to raise his lunch hook instead of inter- rupting a discussion or speaking out of turn. He hopes that his young student drivers will drive with care to reduce their chances of being stopped by the gen- darmesf' - still another of his funny sayings that activated the giggles of his female students. CBy the way, 'gen- darmes' is French for policemenj Through his actions, Mr. Grainger has indeed proved that what he likes best about teaching is in fact just being here with the kids and trying to help them to be more responsible. With both hands in action, Mr. Walt Grainger uses the left to call on a student while the right keeps a record of the responses. i ny.. .- ,.- I --5

One key requirement of a registrar is that she be very dedicated to her job. Hard working Mrs. Amy Crowder is such a person. Her many responsibil- ities include making schedules, doing report cards, and keeping records for every student in the school-quite a job. I like working with the students-I really love kids, she stated. Mrs. Crowder really enjoys her job, but stated that the one thing she could do without is the schedule chan- ges-she doesn't look forward to the beginning-of-the-year or semester changes. Mrs. Crowder agrees that North High is very well-run, and she gives one-hundred-percent effort to keep it running smoothly. Unawarc ofthe presence ofthe photographer, Mrs. Amy Crowder records a stack of sched- ulc changes. Z!-'ST' ll llillllll . I 3 I W is ' I X WSH. Classified Staff Like 'The Kids' Busy, busy, busy! Mrs. Donna Ridley had plenty of things to keep her busy, but one thing is surefshe real- ly enjoyed her job as secretary to the counselors, the dean and the assis- tant dean. In addition to handling the radio that the security officers use, she also answered three phones, and also seemingly handled every- body's problems. Mrs. Ridley's job seemed to include something differ- ent each day. Mrs. Ridley has had her present job for five years. She formerly worked with attendance, which helped her to get well acquainted with the school. She really likes working at North High. I like the atmosphere, the kids, faculty, and all the friendli- ness, she said. Captured in an impromptu moment, Mrs. Cynthia Zabcn shares a humorous incident with Mrs. Donna Ridley. 140 Classified Staff gg If . . Wyman ,gif !'--x A .aah B N
