Move it! Donkoy Doo DeVita has trou- ble with his donkey during the game. What do you mean you won't move un- til I tell you who Francis the Talking Don- key is? He questioned. Phcio by Shel- ley Woods. Whi iat do you get when you have twenty mem- bers of the faculty taking turns steal- ing, throwing, and shooting balls across the gym from stubborn donkeys? BA BEYOND THE BASICS circus in Santa Teresa's gym? Well, not quite. Actually, it was the second annual Faculty-Stu- dent Donkey Basketball Game. The idea of the Donkey Basket- ball Game came from Ed Vierra who had seen similar games played at Piedmont Hills High School. Mr. Vierra gave the idea to Dave Gigliotti as a fundraiser for the baseball team. Mr. Gigliotti recruited teachers for the game by placing notices in the teachers' boxes. There was a real good response from the teachers,” commented Mr. Gig- liotti “since the game gives the teachers a chance to be seen in a different way by their students; they enjoy that.” More than 600 anxious stu- dents, families, and friends of the faculty came to see the game. Mandy Weingarten gave her opinion of the event. I think the game is a great idea because it gives the students a chance to get revenge on the teachers, and it's fun. The game started with Don Du- sart from The Burro Farm an- nouncing the rules. After many unsuccessful attempts by various players, Mr. Lebherz made the first basket. Tim Peevyhouse scored the next basket for the ju- niors. By half time the juniors were ahead 12 to 10. The seniors kept the lead as the game ended with a score of 18 to 16. The faculty team consisted of fif- teen teachers from all depart- ments. Successful faculty players included Mike Donkey Doo De- Vita, Tom Poor Donkey Leb- herz, Penny Side Saddle Kel- ley, Julie Bronco Brady, and Gary “Test Tube Melching. Mr.Gigliotti plans on keeping the game as an annual November event at ST. His main objective for next year is to fill the gym. Ted Cowboy Cano has already giv- en his warning to the juniors and seniors, Just wait 'til next year! By Shelley Woods. Faculty 217 A

Three months of vacation, all holi- days off, and short hours may sound great, but only getting paid ten months out of the year cause teach- ers to find other ways of . . . SUPPORTING SUMMER HABITS People ot many people find joy in the thought of going to school as a career, namely teaching. Some, however, were not meant for any- thing else. They survive the long hours of lecturing, correcting pa- pers, making tests, and low pay and look forward to the long awaited for summer vacation. Life, though, is not that easy. Many summers are spent in work- shops and seminars to keep up with modern technology. They must keep learning in order to teach their kids the most recent discoveries in their respective fields. Cecile Shea, for example, took graduate music classes at San lose State this summer, and at- tended the American Choral Di- rector's Conference at Yosemite and the Dickens Universe Confer- ence at UCSC. Mostly 1 try to save my money so that I can travel or do whatever I want over the summer. Budgeting is an important part of a teacher's life. They only get paid on the thirtieth of each month, starting in October and ending in July. Summer jobs are sometimes necessary. Economics and government teacher, Robert Gil. teaches driver training. I risk life and limb ' he laughed. I have a death wish.” This summer Bob Gil and his wife, also a teach- er. traveled to Tahoe and Oregon, and still found time to remodel their house. Vacations are necessary to re- lief the pressures of school. Two summers ago. Gary Melching took his family on a six and a half week trip to Canada. They saw EXPO '86, then drove from Van- couver to the Canadian Rockies and down through Montana. But vacations do not always clear one's mind of all scholastic thoughts. Teachers are forever on the lookout for new and exciting experiences to teach their classes. By Suzanne Nelson. 218
