FACULTY This is the faculty. Few things are reserved exclusively for the faculty . .. besides work. The morning rush to the mailbox . . . the quick minutes of relaxation caught in the teachers' lounge . . . are the scarce moments of respite. The busy hands behind the school . . . plan- ning . . . pushing actively each day. Contrib- uting so much to school life .. . teaching ... guiding . . . developing . .. sponsoring . .. conversing. Freely giving of their time to help those in need. These all-important people are the true leaders . . . the men and women we look to for inspiration. Correcting . . . criticizing . .. listening . . . helping. Sharing their knowl- edge with us ... endlessly. These are the people who move ... motivate . .. and search for the answer . . . and with what?— with these hands. 20
