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.

1 4 OPENING t THIS ONES l F06 O O O Mr. Larry Winter by Suzy Howell Hurts So Good echoed through Principal Mr. Larry Win- ter's head as he rounded the final curve of the seemingly endless 660 yard run, This was an optional part of one of the changes brought about for Winter by Superinten- dent Mr, Gerald McClure. To en- able Winter to get a better picture of what went on at athletic prac- tices, he was told to attend at least one practice for each sport. So 'far, the practices have gone really well, said Winter. l have had the chance to observe the coaches in practice and to become aware of the overall attitudes of the stu- dents working together as a team. Winter really experienced the team atomosphere when he at- tended one of the cross country practices. Winter put his best foot forward and actually joined the team members in a 660 yard run. I paid for it in the long run. It hurt, Winter said but added that he really enjoyed getting more in- volved with the kids once again. Winter also tried to participate in a few of the academic events. For instance, he rode along with the newspaper class on one of their field trips, partially because he felt the journey would be interesting, but mainly to see that the students were able to properly utilize the time and effort put forth by the staff to offer the trip. He also par- ticipated in other field trips as well. This way, in the future Winter will feel more confident about whether or not to approve such trips. Winter felt more willing and able to make changes in the school system since he's finally settled into his job after being principal for three years. I guess my number one goal for this year is to get more involved with the teachers and help them out as much as l possibly can said Winter. Since Changes boost the physical role as well as the social role carried out and supported by administrator Enrollment Down Enrollment was the first sign of the new year begin- ning. Mr. Winter and the staff were there to get stu- dents ready for the big event. Among the activities going on were filling out health forms, checking out lockers, confirming sched- ules, changing classes, paying for books, and buying lunch cards. Princi- pal Mr. Larry Winter said, The enrollment was down this year because of a small freshmen class coming in. There were 196 students who enrolled for the year. Lights, camera, action.
