Teach- ers' actual pets - ani- malsl They're taking over the campus, but why? Well, people lyes, even teachersj would go crazy without pets. Fact: lt has been medically proven that pets reduce a person's chance of heart dis- ease. No matter how rejected, defeat- ed, or abused a person feels, pets still love you.

Katie, Mrs. Bodnarchuk's pet fox terrier, is poised to chase the ball in the Posner room as her owner and Jae Sim look on. No longer a cam- pus dweller, Katie still visited occasionally, spending time in the library. My ,k Mr. Rossi and Sam, Ms. Bell and Luther, and Ms. Sines and Teddy meet in the Science Wing.
