Pholo by Ralph Drendel. hen Danny Cong received his class schedule, he saw that he was going to have his father for French 3 during fourth period. It was the second time Danny would have his father as a teacher. Danny said, I do not feel anything special about having my dad as a teacher; in fact, now that I think of it, aren't everyone's parents teachers? Phuong Cong feels special to have his son as his student because he can monitor his son's progress more carefully. Mr. Cong has gone through three years of teaching his sons French. He said, ”1 treat Danny just like any other student, which is the same way I treated Pat when he was in my French 2 class. Michele Sheehy has had her dad as a teacher for two years and is hap- py being in his class. Michele says, My dad has a habit of teasing his students and so when I'm in his class I get teased the same way as all the other students. I know that my dad has found out some interesting things about me that he didn't know. Michele does not get any special treatment from her dad, but she feels that she has to excel aca- demically in his class to maintain his reputation as a teacher. Bill Sheehy loves being Michele's teacher and can't wait until Nathan Sheehy is in his class. Mr. Sheehy says, “I love teaching at the school that Michele and Nathan go to. I feel that having my kids going to Santa Teresa they are learning something, because I know the teachers and how they teach. These are only a few of Santa Tere- sa's teacher and student relation- ships on campus.

How can these outra- geous appearances possibly be tied together? spirit Week! The conclu- sion of Spirit Week showed more stu- dent participation than ever and sub- stantial teacher involvement. Ed Keelin commented, I can't believe how many teachers dressed up. 1 think their activeness really helped get the students involved more, too. Spirit Week began on November 1 Oth with the new twist of 50's Day. Greased back hair and leather jack- ets and poodle skirts and saddle shoes reanimated the soda shop at- mosphere of 30 years ago. The fol- lowing day, peace, love, and tran- quility filled the air as liberal hippies wearing flowers and tie-dyes emerged for 60's Day. The third day found students dressed in stars and stripes as Red, White, and Blue Day unfolded. Such means of participa- tion as painting faces and coloring hair were taken to express one's pa- triotism. Pride in one's school was shown in the conclusion of Spirit Week with School Color Day. Or- ange and blue flowed over campus along with the colorful personalities that make such a spectacular Spirit Week possible. I'm amazed with how well it (Spirit Week) went, re- marked Rhonda Gavel. “The partici- pation was fantastic. By Aaron Fran- cis. Spirit Week 19“ D
