Stopping by for an Education While traveling through life, over four hundred students decided to stop at Parry McCluer High School and get an education. Around thirty teachers also stopped there at the same time prepared to teach young people. In the time spent there these people learned many things from each other. Although it was usually assumed that teachers taught the lessons, some teachers found that many of their students were teach- ers too. Sharing good times strength- ened them during their brief Stay. The students watched as some of the teams at the school moved through the District competitions to the Region and some on to the State. Some students also entered academic competitions such as math and English where they com- peted for awards and scholar- ships. They experienced pep ral- lies, class competition, dances, fund raising, field trips and eventu- ally graduation. ra | a | oF 3 ee ieee: | is oe ey me i oo io 1 F Although the students had to do homework and make good grades, they still found time to enjoy their leisure time.
