We students probably never realize how busy our teachers are kept here at Redbank Valley. Not only must they prepare their daily class work, but they must also keep attendance, make tests, grade proiects, check homework, sponsor clubs, keep a homeroom, chaperone dances and parties, act as a listening post for The talkative student, or as a wailing post for the complaining one. Their duties seem to go on and on endlessly, but somehow they still have time to be human and friendly. Remember the time Mr. Caruso and Mr. Caldwell had 8:00 classes to take care of those students whose daily schedules were filled? Or do you remember how Mr. Kata always support- ed the athletic program? Mrs. Campbell always baked cookies forthe senior prom and Mr. Abra- ham was chief pepper-upper at the pep rallies. Don't forget the Latin class's Roman Dinner with Mrs. Dovenspike presiding, or Mrs. Caldwell and Mrs. Conrad's Shakespeare records and Julius Caesar. Miss Boarts with her active choir . . . Mrs. Filson with her advice to the future secre- taries . . . taking exercises with Mr. Rutkowski counting . . . these are only a few of The many memories that come to mind. Memories of our faculty will always remain in our hearts!
