The teacher's day is not over when the bell rings at 3:05. Many of the teachers who teach the more difficult subjects of math, and the various divisions of science have classes after school for those students who are low in their class work or who are interested in getting more advanced information in the subject. Many of the teachers have clubs such as the Service and the Forum Clubs. Tht «se meet after school and sometimes have activities that take place at night at which the advisor must be present. Besides their extra-curricular activities there are numerous papers to correct and the next day's work to plan for five or six classes.
