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.

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.

Mr. Lund converses with Mrs. Liebcrg over a future recital. Mrs. Senyohl lectures on Greek tragedy. 26 . . . Gone To Stud To Learn To Seek Mr. Val Foubert passed up assign' ments and attended an Advanced Humanities' Institute at the Uni' versity of Oregon. Participants studied art, music, drama, literaf ture, history and philosophy to ex' plore ways in which these areas are interrelated and to seek new means by which these subjects could be fused into classroom teaching. Mr. james Morgan, one of our history teachers, spent a stimulatf ing summer at the UW. He asf sociated with scholars from Har' vard, Syracuse, and U.W. staff members while interpreting history. Another history teacher, Mr. 'How' ard Schmidt was given a scholar' ship by the Foundation for Eco' nomic Education to attend a sem' inar on economics in Irvington, New York. Among the counselors, Mr. Adatto was the only one from Washington state to attend the N.D.E.A. Counseling Institute in San Diego, California. Unlike these teachers, Mr. Dick Powell partif cipated in an institute, but was the instructor. The institute was the Laboratory of Radiation Biology on the U.W. campus. Mrs. Esther Arrasmith, chosen by the junior Statesman Foundation, was one of seven instructors that taught twenty 'three scholarship students for six weeks at Stanford University. Unlike Mrs. Arrasmith, some teachers became students. Along with other teachers, Miss Hilda Guldseth, Mr. Ron Andresen, and Mr. Donald Distad spent their time across the lake absorbing knowledge from the U.W. profs Mr. Wayne Connaway also spent his summer as a student. He went to seventh grade graduate school at Seattle University for eight weeks and hated every minute of it. Miss Beaudette Smith studied at the U.W. for her Masters Degree in Art. A commission to paint op art murals in McMahon Hall helped toward her degree.
