A faculty bearing witness to Christ, the unique teacher A good faculty is the greatest asset a school can have. The teachers who make up the faculty mold the ideas of many students so it is important that their views are educated and unbiased. The dedicated instructor relates his subject to present happenings. History becomes not just a study for dates but an application of last year ' s decisions to this year ' s problems ; math becomes not just addi- tion and subtraction but a possible solution to eco- nomic situations. The realistic faculty member is always searching for new ideas, therefore he listens to and respects his student ' s opinions. If he disagrees he encourages an adult discussion because he knows that through dis- cussions many problems are solved and many ques- tions are answered in a satisfactory manner. An educator is always looking for new and inter- esting ways to teach. He spends much time reading books, borrowing movies, and playing records in the hope that his subject-matter will be more interesting. The teacher gets involved in student activities. He knows a well rounded student needs social outlets so he volunteers to head committees, to chaperon dances, and to advise organizations. Teaching is a tiring job. The hours are long, the pay isn ' t great, and very often the students are un- appreciative because of their youth. Right now is the time and place to thank our faculty members for being so great.

LEFT: Sister M. Delphine, M.A., teaches English III, IV, and developmental reading, besides having had charge of the chorus for Oliver! and senior activities. From her sliding stool Sister challenges students sincere enough to debate with her. BE- LOW: Sister M. Rosella, M.A., teaches mechanical drawing and English III, along with having the rental book system. Whether it ' s Macbeth or Wuth- ering Heights, Sister ' s tried and true techniques, eagerly anticipated by the underclassmen, are a tradition at St. John High. 17
