Miss Grundy from the Archie comic strip hobbles in at eight and greets her students with a weak 'Lgood morning. If she's lucky 'she makes it to the right room even though her misguided motorcycle has landed her in the principal's office. Her counterpart, the stern old man with his birch rod, threat' ens the students with a whack or a sentence in the corner with a dunce cap. He wears a stark black suit while she adorns her' self with brightly colored dresses down to her ankles. However, the stooped over, hobbling teachers with cane and spectacles have yet to appear on our faculty. In contrast to the Grundy image, Mr. Fred Knoell emphasizes the qualities of the Sammamish faculty saying, In the search for teachers for Sammamish, consideration is given not only to the quality of educational and academic background, but also to the ex' tent of travel and experience beyond the normal routine. By observing our faculty during the summer these qualities speak for themselves. I traveled the Pacific Northwest on my motorcycle. Along with me I took my sleeping bag, spare tire and wife. Besides this, Mr. Alan Lund practiced with the Seattle Opera Assof ciation for the Fall '66 production of The Barber of Seville. , ,-W. .g':1it'Q,'. gr . .... 42 Ufj'.-A545 - '5- .Eisri, QQs '79 f Kilim 5. 1 ,. ,,:fT531Sw'ia1Mva?'f Q 1 'i I ziaagflll' in as . it-l,-I 15-.ay L ,. 5, .,., by as V me , - si Q Wheire Have All th 9.-.Q b:LV Vkgk k,k, rg as Mr. Singletary demonstrates to a Math class.
