12 openirvc This One's f For o 0 o : Teachers f by Patty Kennedy Going above and beyond the call of duty is something that brings thoughts of sol- diers traveling behind enemy lines gathering top secret documents. One doesn't, however, pic- ture a teacher cracking the books and heading back to school as something quite that exciting, but by further- ing their own educations they, in turn, improve ours. Mr. Loren Ziegler and Mr, C.J. Hamilton are both at- tending Washburn University to work on their masters de- grees in administration, They attended the same classes on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. Going back to school really puts a crunch on my social life, said Ziegler. Hamilton added, lt's helped me better understand the administration. Mr. Joseph Plankinton is also going to Washburn Uni- versity. He is taking an as- tronomy class to better him- self and to also get ready for the space science class sec- ond semester. l'm a profes- sional student, so l don't mind the homework. l actual- ly love it! said Plankington. Mrs. Floseann Gish went to telenet classes at the Topeka State Hospital from Emporia State and Kansas State Uni- versity to maintain her teach- ing certificate. She attends Publications classes on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. My time at home with my family has definitely been limited. I leave things there to the last minute. lt makes me mad because I am not like that, said Gish. Not only do these teachers make assignments, grade pa- pers, and fill out report cards, they must also do their own homework, read chapters, and study for tests. Maybe all teachers should attend outside classes. Then they'd understand and per- haps even sympathize with us students when we forget our homework! ....l.i..- 1 Teachers 'hit the books' and head back to school to continue their educational knowledge. Extra days at school District iif372's contracts for teachers requires them to be at school 185 days. These extra five days, other than teaching a class, are spent 3 days before school starts, an inservice day, and a teacher work day at the end of the year. Their con- tract is plain and simple. Some other contracts have longer days, up to 195, said Principal Larry Winter. Spring cleaning. Custodian Mrs. Kay Brooks finishes cleaning the classrooms to ready them for the first day of school.

But there still may be a questiongfmiifif pertaining to how much is spent. Silver Lake and 374 other schools in the state of Kansas 5355553 -, . ., fp mga spend less than 206 of their total school budgets for athletics and activities, said Mr, Jim Lindstrom, Athletic Director, when referring to the October issue of the Kansas State High School Athletic As- sociation Journal. Pride in our teams and schools is, therefore, boosted by the gen- erosity of those who contribute, Superintendent: Gerald McClure School Board: sitting: Joyce Ba- ker, president, Karen Brown, Van Hawkins, Pton Workman, Betty Conaway, standing: Nancy McDaniel, Clark Wiley, 5 IZ' L wffxsw A wif ll ms ,yy -1+-. 5 .
