12 TEACHERS- Do you think you know your teachers? It you an: 'et a2 yes you may be wrong, and surprised. This year we clircmud our polls to the teachers about themselves. Their honestli ane swers reveal their true personalities. If youlve run out of excuses for needing out of class here are a few of the teachers favorites; I have a hangnail , uI've got to call my mom, because my cat had surgery today , My pigs are loose and I have got to go get them. You are probably saying I'm really sure I can use these. But this last one anybody will believe, uI've got to get a coat because it is so cold. For no homework excuses there is of course the ever popular, But I went to visit at Aunt Lucy Maels last night. This next excuse seems to reflect Ms. Jorritsma upbringing. Her favorite excuse was, 'il flew to New York this weekend and lost my luggage. My books are in my luggage. The final excuse goes along with the over used saga of uMy dog ate my homework. Miss Brobstls student gave it a new twist. uMy brother put it in the hamster cage. Our hamster made a nest with it, but I brought it anyway. With the present tardy system excuses for being late to class are always needed. Most teachers will accept the excuse of a broken locker, but if youlre getting tired of it, here is one that will add a little humor to your situation. There was some big kid in the hall who was smashing freshmen as they walked by and I didn't want to get hit. Thatls no lie! What do you think of when you hear, uBut we have a ballgame tonight or But tomorrowls my birthday You probably think of that one dreaded word, test. It the ones above donlt get the test postponed you can always say. But I've got too many already. Good Luck. If you try using these excuses you may be put on a teachers black list. Some of the following students already have been. Teachers decided Jeff McAnich and Tammy Maddux are the most talkative in the school. Jenny Crawford and Tracey Hardesty walked or should I say ran away with the title of rowdiest. The class clown was spread out between several people. Scott Law. Guy Gregg, Lisa Eup, Duncan Gilmore, Brad Bemis, Shawn Skelton, Sydney Harry, Jenny Crawford, and Elizabeth Stein all answered the call uBe a Clown? The question, uWho is the least troublesome brought some doubts to our mind. We wonder if the teachers really know their students. Diane Seybold, Leslie Wolfe, Suzanne Block, Doug Dixon, Dee Passmore, Jerry McIntyre. Elizabeth Reedy, and Michelle Snapp were chosen as the least troublesome. Hmmmmmm. Now you are probably wondering what can happen to you if youlre put on a teacher's list. Well it you are sent to Mr. Gambiani you might be subject to his favorite type of punish- ment, a good old fashion spanking. when needed. If Mrs. Harry gets ahold of you, you might find your nose stuck in a circle on the blackboard. These punishments arenlt too drastic but you never want to get in trouble with a certain history ' ' if-ZNTS mentiont He's been studying , many years. He is in favor of strappm :, t Cu one side to a person's stomach. then place ,. x: i 2 box with fire-rats become upset and afraid-thus Guiiilk'; il'u'iif way out through the stomach to avoid the heat. Ugh! If you would like 1'0 avoid the tortures we've described you might take heed to some of the teachers pet peeves. Mr. Bridge is bothered by students who want fancy cars. Other teachers told us that constant noises, belching out loud, gum chewed with mouth opened, and students who like you only when things go their way are among the things that irked them. You have been warned so beware. You might think that our teachers must be inhuman but they do have human qualities. Nine teachers like to give pop quizes while only seven enjoy giving tests. If you don't like the exemption policy you're not alone, ten teachers agree with you whole heartily. And if you're feeling pressured about your grades take heart only eight of the faculty had B+ averages or above in high school Even though you may hate school fifteen of our teachers replied they liked to teach, so be nice and be- easy on them, theylre trying. Here are some other facts about the teachers as pm i The favorite pastimes among them were reading, cooking spending time with the family. A few others were pain hunting, and bowling. The largest percent of the voters selected soft rock as l favorite music. Pop and folk also got votes. One teacher he was totally uninterested in music He must be one savage beasts of our school who doesn,t want to be calm When participating in the great American pastime of ea: the teachers have varied tastes. Steak received the most vo in the food line, while ice tea was selected as the favor drink. Other foods receiving mention were chicken, Surf HI Turf, and anything Italian. Drinks included milk shakes, V- Cokes. and one Pina Colada. Hmmmmmm Marriage status of the teachers was also scattered. 13 con tessed to being married. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell are the newly weds of the school, being married only one year. while Mr Bridge and his wife have enjoyed 22 years of matrimony. The final question directed to the teachers asked them what they would like to do beside teach it given the opportunity. Mr. B. Smith said he would like to be independently wealthy while Mr. Bridge went the other direction and said missionary work interested him, Mr. Jones and Mr. Gambiani could go into business together-They both would like to own a restau- rant. tOne teacher had smaller goals, he wanted to play golf as well as Coach Campbell playsl. We hope we've shown you another side to your teachers. Theylre no different than the rest of us. Their story starts, Once upon a time and ufsually ends somewhere close to, they lived happily ever a ter.
