Surprise -this student grew up to be science teacher Tracy Hollis. Everyone seems to forget that teach- ers once had a childhood. Not all teach- ers were rebels without a cause , some were very serene. For instance, Cathy Sneed remarked, I never did anything. I led an extremely boring life! Skip- ping class, pulling pranks, and cheating never crossed some of their minds. As English teacher Kay Martin repliedg, 'LI skipped class only once, but I had my mom's permission. On the other hand, there were those who were impossible. One such person was science teach Mike Mattingly. He admitted, in the lst grade the teacher had a demerit list on the wall by the pencil sharpener. Everytime I would I sharpen my pencil I would erase my demerits. Later when the teacherfound out, I had to turn my award in! An- other person who always followed the rules and wanted to go out with a bang was Art teacher Debbie Beaudin. Her incident took place when she showed up to graduation in the popular Hot Pants, when the required dress was a white dress with white hose and shoes. Faculty members did basically the same things as the kids today. From the time Mrs. Cindy Shipley told the park- ing attendants someone was stealing batteries from cars and then left school for lunch to the time Mrs. Lorenz hit her Geometry teacher in the reariwith a bean shooter, the old adage kids will be kids stays true. Some kids never grow up. Even today some still continue to pull pranks on each other. I did not pull pranks until I became a teacher, added Debbye Roberts. I

No one can actually say what goes on, because no one is admitted in there except the faculty members. However, teachers were willing to admit to some of the things that went on. For some faculty members the lounge was a place to eminisce about life. They discussed poli- tics, the cost of living, and gripped about the government. They also cheered each other up by telling jokes. The lounge was also a place to relax between periods or during lunch. Teachers graded papers and made lesson plans. English teacher Debbye Robers commented, It's really kind of funny how we could be talking about anything and as soon as an administrator walks in it's total stairs. The downstairs on is for smoking teachers and the upstairs lounge is for non-smokers and popcorn poppers. Some teachers travel to both. As Chris Martin remarked, I enjoy going to both lounges just to visit people during lunchl There are also a few individual lounges throughout the school. The business department has one between Mrs. Clayton's, Mrs. Bryant's and Mr, Hege's room. Another mini-lounge can be founrl in the math department. I usually go to the math mini- lounge because at times it gets too loud in the larger ones, exclaimed Mrs. Gwen Pebworth. Students were asked what they thought went on in the lounge, and the majority said EAT! No matter what teachers say, that's what really goes on! silence.
