Northwest Catholic High School - Noweca Yearbook (West Hartford, CT)

Miss Sue Maloney has joined the Northwest Catholic fac- ulty this past year. She graduated from Central Connecticut State College in December, 1979. She received a B.S. in the educational major of Social Sciences. Although this has been her first year of teaching, she was not new to our school com- munity. Miss Maloney has been a cheerleading coach since the age of fifteen. She has been coaching our team for four years. Teaching is not the same as coaching, she says. When coaching, one is involved with the school, but only when prac- ticing or participating in a game. Now, I am in contact with the students in a different way. In her opinion what has changed the most is that she must prepare for all her classes. When we asked her what she did in her spare time, she became very serious and reflective. Then she smiled, Spare time? Who has spare time? In reality, she coaches the cheerleading squad because she has fun while doing so. She enjoys coach- ing because she feels that kids don ' t have anyone who cares enough about them to spend the time needed. In a shocked tone of voice she commented, I think I ' m the only coach who sits on the bench with the cheerleaders. She is convinced that our girls have immense potential and she wants to make them use it to their fullest. She can relate to kids easily, and communication is so important. Although young, she is able to gain respect from her stu- dents and also from the rest of the faculty. She feels that the staff has been very supportive and understanding. All in all, Miss Maloney is happy to be here and we ' re glad she is too. 1. MRS. SANDRA NUSSMAN, Business Department: Time is money. 2. MRS.
