Miss Ann Spieker Radford College-M.S. Health and Physical Education Health, Physical, and Driver Education Although this is her first full time teaching job, Miss Valerie Gehringer is not foreign to the rowdiness of students. Prior to her arrival here, she taught sev- enth grade math at Warren County Junior High School as a substitute teacher. Evidently, her presence in our school is not an accident, as it has been her ambition to be a teacher since sixth grade. A native of Front Royal where she lived for twenty years, she transferred to Rappa- hannock to carry on her dream. It is quite a change for a teacher to transfer from a school of 7000 kids to another with only 500. But Miss Gehringer prefers our Liliputian school as she would rather have a close relationship with students. Her willingness to become in- volved won her a place as basket- ball coach for the girls’ basket- ball team. When not on the court, she may be seen teaching Driver’s Education during her extra time. An active person, she loves basketball, football, horse- back riding and swimming. She finds students here enthusiastic, dependable, easy to work with, and friendly. She observes the lack of extracurricular activities as the school’s worst flaw. On the other hand, the students com- pensate for this problem by mak- ing the most of what they have. She advises students to finish high school and achieve indepen- dence. She is new. She is a warm, active, and ever-smiling person. She is Miss Gehringer.

While there she worked with the Farm Youth Extension of the Peace Corps, supervising small farm pro- jects. Coming from Malaysia back home to Rappahannock was a big change. In comparing the two countries, she said that freedom in America is taken for granted; you never know how much freedom you have until you go to a country that doesn’t have as much. Miss Snead is active in her church. Trinity Episcopal, where she sings in the choir and teaches Sunday School. She is also one of our cheerleading sponsors. Her hobbies include horseback riding, tennis, training her border collie Zach, and farming.
