A teacher who prepares students vocationally for their post-school lives is Mr. Jack McHargue who teaches all vo-ag classes and prepares our Future Farmers. After graduation, you'll find that life is still one big high school. warns Mr. Miller, who is a big favorite around the school. Also a summer employee of the U.S. Forest Service, Mr. Miller polices the study hall and teaches one class of American Government. Mrs. Joy O'Dommell, our resident literary genius admits that her day dreams often take her to the days of Queen Elizabeth. Her fascination with the past, however, only betters her methods for preparing students for the future. Mrs. Carol Pietsch has a simple goal in her teaching; prepare students for their future home lives. And she does this well in all her classes including child development, family living, foods, and clothing. Multi-talented Mrs. Ruyle teaches Latin, English, and Orchestra. Although she enjoys teaching she admits that A teacher was the last thing I expected to be. I don't pretend to be wise or wonderful. says Mr. Chuck Schoonover. Though he'd like to see himself as a hippie, he settles for his current position as biology teacher, football, and wrestling coach. Conflict was the single word Mr. Dwight Smith used to sum up S.H.S. Mr. Smith tries to ease the daily conflicts around the school in his counselor role.
