PHS Put to the Test Teachers with sweaty palms, tense nerves, and stricter rules. Why? From October 2-5, the halls and classrooms were filled with the Visiting Committee for the Southern Association. The com- mittee came from the eastern part of Virginia selected by the State Education Department. Schools and colleges of the Southern Asso- ciation must go through a ten year program in which certain stan- dards must be met to stay a mem- ber. We now have five years to bring up our standards to theirs before the next evaluation. The committee found quite a Dr. George Beahm — Resource Mrs. Karen Burr — Span. 1 French 1 Mrs. Linda DuBose — English 9A Mrs. Bonnie Fay — Eng. 12A AP Eng.

They were astounded that many unsupervised students stayed after school causing no trouble. They felt the attitudes of the faculty and administration were very positive. The learning and discipline within the class- room impressed them consider- ably. The library was also found to be a great asset to our school. With these periodical visits, the school will continue to improve for the benefit of the students and faculty. Mrs. VanDervort tries to grab a quick nap between the lockers. Mrs. Quinlan ‘‘lets her hair down” durin lunch.

Even Teachers Play Everyone has something they like to do in their spare time. Even teachers? Yes, even teachers are real people and enjoy different hobbies. Some of them enjoy physical activities. Aerobics and racketball keep Miss Painter in shape. Mrs. Keech can be found not only on land working in her workshop or golfing, but out on the water fishing. Mrs. Wynn also enjoys the water; she likes boat- ing. In addition, Joan finds plea- sure in shopping and refinishing furniture. Ms. Becky Quinn also enjoys refinishing furniture and “anything having to do with the water.’’ During winter months, however, her time is limited to walking her dog, Dufus. Mrs. Rich Mrs. Denise Junghans — Geography, Softball, Cheerleader Mr. John Kain — Phys. Ed., Football, Baseball Mrs. Sandy Katz — Eng. 11A Speech Drama, Forensics, Thespians Mrs. Brabara Keech — Government Mrs. Rita Kehoe — English 12 Mr. Fred Kimsey — I.C.T. — VICA Mrs. Janet Knight — Geom.

Tennis, riding horses, and sailing are Mrs. Leavitt’s ‘‘cup of tea.’ However, some teachers like the indoor scene as Mrs. VanDervort is involved in the Community Theatre. After a long week of work con- trolling rowdy students, some teachers have more leisurely in- terests. Mrs. Gaines walks to her ‘‘nlace of communion,’’ her peaceful waterfront property. Mrs. Sproull relaxes with a book and by caring for her son. Teachers are people, too! Mrs. Lepi, Mrs. Napier, Mrs. Semeyn, Mrs. DuBose, Mrs. Burr, and Mrs. Knight feast and gossip during their lunch period.
