Shop teacher Ralph Dinsdale shows a student how to use a blow torch. lnl I Do' g t ith Stye Teachers have their own ways Well, it was one of those days as I stepped into my first period class. Mr. Gumina sat patiently going over the role. I remember asking him why we were going over the tests again. I-Ie said, When you walk out of here I want you to know why the answers you gave ll hey have to crawl before they can walk. were wrong. Second period came in and I thought back to Mr. Bassett's first lecture . . . My main goal is to teach you to communi- cate in the written languages. Third period rolled in and I found myself in biology 316. I remember asking Mr. Runge why he gave us homework. I-Ie replied I hope that by giving you homework I can in some way show you how to use biology in life. In Fourth period I liked Mr. Dolby because he treated us separately. I-le laughed and joked with us but always got the job done. As I ate lunch I watched Khampheng Phab- mixay who was surrounded by Laotion stu- dents and thought . . . I-Ie sure must be a great teacher for those who want to learn. I walked into Mr. Dinsdale's metal shop and remembered something he once said, Stu- dents are like babies, they have to crawl be- fore they can walk. Last period thundered in and I thought of Mrs. Gage's unique way of teaching. K'She makes learning fun, said a friend, Well it's been ten years and I still remember those great teachers.

Mr. Richter came into our class and explained about the ups and downs of getting a job and preparing for the future. Frankly, he scared me to death. There were so many things that I didn't want to think about - the future seemed so frightening, and so close. Luckily, the teachers made me think. Mr. Schor talked about a different col- lege every week, and his essays, as impossi- ble as they seemed, were exactly what I'll be getting in college. My friends were always being reminded by Mr. Gage that the Canter- bury Tales would be of great use to them in college. I suspect that it was only a ploy to get them to read. Mr. Wilson was constantly em- ll't was only a ploy to get them... phasizing the importance of college. I was, for the most part, looking forward to the future with a mixture of fear, nausea, and excite- ment. Due to my teachers encouragement, however, I now look forward to my years after high school as an enormous adventure - I can't wait for it to begin.

I teach for those who are serious about learningf if Mrs. Gage sits back and relaxes. She enjoys reading Shakespeare and shows it by teaching it to her English classes. She makes everything so fun . . . but we learn at the same time, said one student. Doing it with Style 305
