Their etlorts are given gladly and without any reserve, lor it is their aim to maintain high standards in the school. Besides being teachers and class and club advisers, the Faculty act as the lriends ofthe students, talcing interest in individual problems, social allairs, and helping in any other way to malre the lour-year term ol a student at Pullman Tech. as profitable and memorable as possible. Through the eyes ol a Freshman, the Faculty represents serious threat and menace. To begin with, Freshmen are always Hscared to death ol teachers, and a casual glance from one is enough to malce them tremble. As yet, they havenlt Found out that teachers are also good Friends. Accord- ing to freshmen, a teacher is one who piles on seemingly unnecessary homevvorlc and Finds other things to talce the joy out ol life. This attitude changes as time goes by, and soon freshmen realize that teachers are lriendly and understanding. Although at times they may seem severe in pointing out the pupil's shortcomings, they can also understand how a boolc is lost and homevvorlc misplaced. When a good laugh is in order, teachers readily join students in exercising their sense ol humor, thereby helping to promote the friendly atmosphere that is typical ol Pullman Tech. The faculty may well be proud of the splendid job they are doing in providing students with a baclcground of experience and lcnovvledge that will enable them to establish themselves in the busi- ness, industrial, and social lile ol America.
