What Do The Students Teach You? Teaching and being involved with young people is always a learning experience. lf you don't learn from your students then you are not involved in such a way as to teach them. The most important thing that l have learned from the students at S.B.E.C. is patience, enthusi- asm, and concern for other peo- ple. Mr. McClure Eighteen years of working with children has taught and continues to teach me patience. I have also learned that it's so important to let children be chil- dren with all the fantasies and joys that only childhood can of- fer. CAIso how to match the ar- rows on the Excedrin bottIe.j Mrs. Wilkinson As high school principal, Mr. McClure has been at S.B.E.C. for two years. Through his humble, loving attitude and Christian witness, he has won the loyalty of teacher and student alike. His background of teaching, coach- ing, and administration com- bined with his truthfulness and fair dealings make him an ideal principal. Mrs. Wilkinson makes the job of elementary principal seem easy, and that is far from simple. Her determination and love of God are but the basics for the strength she calls upon to fulfill her duties. Academicsf57

IITR 0 What Do The Students Teach You? I have gained tremendous in- sight in working with the students at S.B.E.C., as well as working with their parents. I guess one of the greatest insights that I have gained which has been beneficial in my own life is the fact that parents need to be prepared to be imitated by their children. My responsibility allows me, often times, to deal with parents as well as students and, in practically every case, the stu- dent's attitude and actions are a reflection of the parents' attitude and actions. With three children of my own, I am trying to be careful to respond in such a way to every situation and every circumstance that it will be pleasing to the Lord. I recognize that whether my re- sponse is good or bad, more than likely, my children will imitate my actions. It has been a real joy to watch parents respond properly to various circumstanceshere at school and then to watch their chily dren respond properly also. I trust that this insight which I have gained from our students will make me a better parent and administra- tor. Paul E. Young, School Admin- istrator As head of the SBEC family Mr. Young exemplies a father who loves his children. He is a con- cerned parent who prays for his family , disciplines, encourages. and has a great vision for the fu- ture. 56fAcademics
