The challenge is even greater for the untried teacher who has just finished college. Through an initiation party in September, the new teacher is made to feel welcome. After this infor- mal gathering, the new teacher soon feels at ease with faculty and students in his position at Searcy. High. MR.

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.

ELOISE SCROGGINS Geometry, Algebra II, and Trigonometry MRS. OWETA HUMPHREY Typing, Shorthand, and Bookkeeping The joy in watching children learn, the delight in sharing what one knows, the satisfaction of creating a feeling of unity among diverse members of a class - these are the rewards of teaching. Though a teacher confronts many obstacles and burdens, he forgets about these when he sees students progressing under his guidance. He knows that the understanding they gain may give students a more intelligent approach to life and open new horizons for them to pursue. The sparkling eyes, radiant smiles, and eager questions of those who have suddenly grasped a truth stimulate a teacher to do his best. Altruistic by nature, he seeks only to share with others, to give of himself completely, so that his stu- dents can experience the same joy in learning which he has known. 22
