D. istinction 173 es Christina Willson, stu- dent: Coach Murray works us out to get us in shape for the swim team. He does a good job. ♦ Tim Jones, social stud- ies teacher: I like taking part with the students in ac- tivities that are participated in by choice such as the Mock Trial. + Sarah Richards, stu- dent: I think the yearbook staff is special. They are all friendly and they help out by taking all kinds of things that should be memories and making them into a book. Without the yearbook staff the only memories the students of Rubidoux would have are the ones well re- membered. ♦ John Thurber, student: I feel that Mrs. Haro (Ger- man) is real cool and so is the class, ft may be hard, but it sure is cool because I can use German because my family is German and I have friends in Germany. ♦ Stephanie Mattiaccia, student: I feel the journal- ism class is an important part of RHS. Writing stories and meeting deadlines isn ' t real- ly easy, but with a class of fun people it goes by fast. Sandy Newman, re- source teacher: It ' s never boring and I keep informed in all the basic areas of the curriculum instead of being locked into just one sub- ject. + Pat Thompson Larry Fletcher, student: I think a special teacher at RHS is Mr. Cushing (small engine repair and auto the- ory). He helps a lot and real- ly gets to know his students. He makes you feel like a part of his family. I respect him a lot. + Bryan Barnes, student: Coach Fagan is nice to all the kids. He says he tries to tell at least one joke a week to keep the class going. If you don ' t dress out he sends you to what he calls The Olympic Track. He s a neat and funny guy. + Jodi Trout, student: The English department is a combination of very differ- ent, likeable and intelligent people. + Suzanne Snow, student: ' 7 like Mr. Clem (adv. drawing) because he main- tains a sense of humor dur- ing class. I have learned to think about my drawing, to take a chance and be cre- ative. So what if I make a mistake? That ' s why pencils have erasers. ♦ Shawn Beitler, student: I think the agriculture de- partment is special because they teach you things that will help you to get good jobs in the agriculture field. You get chances to show and work with animals, plants, gardens and farm equipment. The teachers care and help you out. It is something you can stay a part of even after you are out of high school or college. + Gary Clem, art teacher: ' T am teaching art because I didn ' t have enough brains to become what I really wanted to be — a brain sur- geon. Then again, I guess I am a brain surgeon of sorts because I try to open peo- ples ' brains and put artistic notions there. ♦ Jose Guillen, ESL teach- er: I enjoy teaching Eng- lish as a second language (ESL) because it is a com- pletely new language for many of my students and in most cases they are enthusi- astic about learning. + Heather Wiecking, stu- dent: Mr. Viafora has a good sense of humor. He ' s concerned about teaching you, not grades. + Robert Kaufman, stu- dent: Mr. Kleemen is our woodshop teacher at RHS. I think he ' s special be- cause if you need help he ' s always there. He jokes around a lot for fun. He teaches you how to make things out of wood, things you will need, or might need, in the future. + Rebel O ' Hearn, student: ' T feel that the typing classes are very important to me. That class will help me get a job. You could get a job as a secretary or anything that has to do with typing. ♦ Todd Klein, student: I feel that Rick Stangle is special. He is a friend to ev- eryone. He helps us get things for soccer. He goes to our soccer games and cheers us on. ft makes me feel good having him as a friend. ♦ Paul Horn, math teach- er: Think. If you don ' t make the decisions about your life — someone else will. Math makes sense only if you know how to use it in the larger scheme of life. +
