Our Teachers Have Important Responsibilities Each new school day brings various responsi- bilities to the teacher. He must spend the day not only instructing his students, but he must in his spare time, make out report cards, grade sheets, attendance records, and take care of study halls. A teacher, of course, is willing to aid in the func- tioning of our school, but many times he wishes that he could devote his full time and energy to the sub- ject he teaches. MR. CECIL MORGAN MRS.

MRS. HELEN SUTHERUN French, Spanish. Junior English MR. DAVIS WEBB World History, Government Faculty Teachers Help Us to Develop Understanding The extremely difficult task of instilling in young minds a knowledge of the world and a curiosity about it presents a huge challenge to every teacher. His ingenuity and resourcefulness are called upon at all times of the day to make difficult ideas more un- derstandable. To accomplish this gigantic task, he makes use of the facilities given him - colorfully il- lustrated textbooks, maps, charts, and films. To stimulate curiosity, he phrases statements and ques- tions so that other questions will arise in students’ minds. To encourage pupils to enlarge upon their classroom activities, he explains, defines, and adds details to basic textbook content. Again and again he must discover new ways of presenting his material. His resourcefulness encompasses all of a teacher’s ed- ucation. Emulating Plato's statement, those having torches will pass them on to others, a teacher accepts his duty with willingness, courage, and patience. MISS RUBY LANGLEY Librarian MRS. MARY KATHRYN JAMES Sophomore English and World History MR. CARL STEWARD Biology, Government, Problems of Democracy and Geography, Yearboo Advisor

After this infor- mal gathering, the new teacher soon feels at ease with faculty and students in his position at Searcy. High. MR.
