Teachers make people their business Every job has its ups and its downs — even teaching. But when you ' re in the people business — like all Northwest teachers are — a little bad can usually develop into a lot of good. For example, one might con- sider it a little bad when Lou Gilmore ' s first period boys ' chorus stares at the girls in band all period long. Problems usually have solutions, like Jerrilyn Lyons ' , home economics teacher and cheerleader and Vi- kette sponsor, solution to a noisy student. Lyons said she faces such a situation head on , or by talking to the student individually. Actions like these develop into a lot of good. However, most Northwest teachers said that the rewards of teaching outweigh the frustrations. Martha McGahan, English teacher and senior class sponsor, said it is rewarding to see the students ask questions about English that parallel with the world outside. It shows they ' re thinking. Barry Schultz, busi- ness teacher and DECA sponsor, said it ' s rewarding to see students project enthusiasm whether it be academically or in extra-curricular activities. While students are projecting enthusiasm and asking all those questions, they are slowly accom- plishing many things, whether it be on the court, in chemistry lab, or in Dave McNeel ' s industrial arts class. McNeel said that he feels rewarded when he has helped a student gain that achievement. Annual activities for the teachers included parking lot, hall, and lunchroom duty, taking tickets, and line judging. Besides that, they ' ve taken the task of sponsoring the clubs and coaching. So goes the people business. Get the picture? 82 staff Pictured In tils office is Principal Clayton Luther, along with Athletic Director Dick Anderson and first-year Vice-principal Dan Ernst.
