They liked Senora Suarez because she al- ways made sure the class was prepared for tests. Another friend said he had never seen Mr. Wells loose his temper, and how totally cool he was. To top that, he said Mr. Marino was so unique because of his teaching style. . . . He teaches with you, not at youf, At some time everybody had a favorite teacher. Theylre the ones you could kid around with, still knowing you weren't there ll e teaches with you, not atyouf' to play games. They were always willing to help you out, always there to answer a ques- tion. l guess all teachers were favorites - one way or another. Richard Perkins Ceramics Jane Person American Lit, E.S.I..

How often we don't take the time to really know people in our lives: their history, their successes, failures, their accomplishments, hardships. We never see the rich tapestry that has been woven by their struggle to be. Barbara Meyer was a person to know. She was a dedicated teacher who thrived on her work. While at Kearny H.S. she pioneered ESL teaching techniques after the arrival of the first lndoChinese refugees in the U.S.g and was a resource to all in the field over the past seven years. Barbara gave innumerable hours outside of school to help her refugee students and their families survive their early days in this country. She was a loving and caring mother and delighted in the brightness of her son Christopher 117i and the antics of her spirited daughter, Jennifer 1115. She was an alive, thriving young woman to her friend, Bob. To those of us who knew her, she was, above all, a friend. Barbara gave freely of herself and expected nothing in return. She was accepting of each individual and tolerant of differences, never judgemental or critical. She was a true friend, this kind woman.

Barbara enjoyed skiing backs packing in the Sierras, photography and tennis. Henry from the Teacher's Angle Dr. Zeddies saw Patrick Henry from two angles. First, that students revealed an ex- tremely high level of capability. 'iMotivation is high and the competition is keen, said Dr. Zeddies. Great intellectual capacity and so- cial consciousness were also here - for in- stance in the school newspaper. It dealt with very intellectual subjects, things that affected the students. He also saw our school as an Hintellectual hub, around which lthe commu- nityi revolves. There were a variety of hap- penings here outside of school hours, things that went on every night, and even plays during the summer. There were also things that hurt our school, thought Zeddies, Behavior had some' thing to be desired. 'idunior High level was There's lots behind Zeddies' smile, how he described it. Students don't even pick up after themselves Competition might have also upset the chances for perfecs tion. Being ' K... caught in such a competi- tive environment . . . makes winning and suc- cess seem like the only thing, said Zeddies. who felt the necessity of change created ' problem, too. Bureaucracy hasnft allowed change to take place. i'There is a great dea happening in the world that must first be accepted by administrators before ang change gets to the studentsf' This sets stu dents back, Regardless, Dr. Zeddies felt tha' things could always come out for the best You can learn from every situation . . . ' Therefore, we can be optomistic about oui school. Most important, when asked wha' made Henry good, Dr. Zeddies said 'ilt's the kids that make fiti top flight. 298 Administration Staff

Paint Pose Problem Money really Matters lt seemed as though money problems curse ed everyone this year, and art teacher Wen- dell Montague was no exception. However, a solution was available. In order to gain extra money for supplies, Montague asked the students for what he called a lab fee. Students were asked to donate money to an art fund which would help pay for better paints, paper, utensils and other art media. A misunderstanding arose due to the term lab fee. Several students thought that it was mandatory. The term has since been changed to 'Kart donationf' Students were not required to donate money, but only those who did were allowed to use the special sup- plies that were purchased with the help ofthe ion Staff I I ith out this there is no art. donations. Without this extra source of money, stu- dents could only paint on manila paper with tempera paints. One student said, 'The wide choice of paint and supplies gives us a chance to experiment at a minimal cost. Without ex- perimentation there is no freedom of expres- sion and without this there is no art.
