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.

Teach rs Gone . ,. Ll! Miss Brown takes 'roll in Home Ec. Instead of touring the Pacific Northwest, Miss Roberta Brown traveled to Europe, as far north as England and as far South as Greece, for ten weeks. She explained that one thing a trip like this did for me was to make me appreciate the U.S. more and the Monday morning flag salute had a lot more meaning. Like Miss Brown, other teachers of Sammamish spent time overseas, Miss Rosanne Gostivich spent fifty per cent of her time talking with the people she met on the streets, in restaurf ants on the trains, and in parks for a deeper understanding of the U.S.S.R. during her stay in Moscow, Lenningrad, and Kiev. The National Defense Education Act Foreign Lan' guage Institute at Indiana University sponsored the group of thirty teachers. Mr, Roy Felstad spent two months in the Peace Corps in Africa and traveled home by way of Madrid, Rome, London, and Sweden. Incidentally, Mr. Felstad took a brief break from activities to marry in Tacoma. Along more academic lines, Mrs. Maxine Johnson tackled a sixtyffive page paper for her extension course from Central Washington State College.
