Looking Back on Ten EERF .. arcia Kirkley of the English Depart- ment said, One of the best experiences I have had as a teacher here at Smoky Hill was having an advisor group during the early advisor program. Ms. Kirkley mentioned several instances where the advisor groups went to various places. That program was the most effective way to minimize 'Institution Syndrome! J.B. Doze and George Weathers, also of English, have been here for ten years. Another veteran Mr. Kettlehut expressed, seeing growth and pride in school is one of the 'bests', the traditions and belonging of the student body seem strong. He also complimented the growth of the students in the area of leadership, and the growth and expan- sion of academics and athletics. J.B. DOZE smiles at a correct answer.

'MATH is your best investment, dictates Jim Clark, math instructor. lELAXlNG, Ken Carmann kicks back before his ext class. Teaching takes a lot out of a person. X . Experiences to Fall Back On hree long-time members of Smoky Hill are in the Math Department. One of them, Jim Clark, spoke of his best experience: lt's hard to identify a best experience. From this perspective, I would have to say that my 'best experiences' were the daily classroom contacts with the many hard working, thinking, mature students that l've had the privilege of teaching. Mr. Clark also said that the school has grown up and established itself as an academic and athletic pacesetter. Ken Carmann another member in good standing said of his experiences, Having a part in the solution to the puzzle of bringing Smoky Hill from an idea to what it is today has been the best experience. Mr. Carmann also commented that the school, once unique, is now becoming more and more like any other school. The coordinator of the department, Bob Hiester, was also one of the few who have been around since Smoky Hill first opened. He commented, The first full commencement was very good. It was the culmination of four years of hard work. Also, the new addition is a good change because it offers better facilities. Also being a coach, Mr. Hiester remembered well the 1980 and the 1983 football seasons as being the best years for Smoky Hill's football program. E my xx ix xxx NQX x YOU CAN DO IT! encourages Bob Hiester. The key to teaching is showing enthusiasm that will reflect on the student's will to learn. l ..., , L I , - Dick MCCELLAND h rr T ss- , - t tq.. .1 3 MIKE MEAGHER - S -X , ' j GAIL MILLER 1 w t . , I NANCY v.
