First and foremost a teacher teaches, but a teachers day The day starts at 7:55 as they pass through the west deer—Mist Audria Shumard. Max Hester, and Miss Mary Burnham. . . . Classes begin and the teacher starts to weave her magic spells—Miss Myrtle Clark. Lincoln Northeast has much to be proud of when it comes to the teachers. With no junior high this year for the first time, there aren't quite so many teachers as in the past—the staff numbers 42. Only 2 of the faculty are newcomers: Mrs. Elly Gardner, biology, and William Maly, guidance. Northeast has suffered from little faculty turnover in its 20 years. Students too often think of teachers as re- moved from the human race—lecturers, test-givers, cold or unfeeling—but a teacher is primarily a per- son who likes and enjoys young people and works to awaken within them a desire to learn. Offering a challenge, and then guiding the learning take many hours of preparation and planning on the part of the teacher. When does a teacher's day begin? Arriving before 8 in the morning, faculty members are often seen exchanging friendly greetings while picking up their bulletins and other material in the office. They are always willing to meet with students be- fore school if a make-up test is needed, or to ex- plain something a pupil may not understand. It's all part of the day's work. When does a teacher's day end? This is hard to say, for after the 3:15 bell has rung, most teachers remain to grade papers or give extra help to students. Some sponsor clubs, some coach teams, and still others must meet with committees, or at- tend a class downtown.
