A teacher is more than a moderator who hands out assignments and ;4 cracks the whip.” She is one who opens the doors to the vast world of knowledge, who shares with her students the wealth of in ormation she possesses, and instills a desire to learn. The teachers here at St. Joseph’s Academy are just that, lie lay teachers and Sisters give of them¬ selves unceasingly, each individual contributing great¬ ly to the harmony of the school. A successful teacher inspires in her students a hunger for learning. She does not simply teach her subject from the book but she constantly reviews and digs up information that holds interest for her classes. “THE PARTHENON was never this crowded,” muses Miss Jeanette Miller, social studies teacher, who toured Greece last summer. AFTER A BUSY SCHOOL DAY, Sister Mary Mar¬ cia and Sister Helen Irene retreat to the convent. “AND LITTLE GIRL, what do you want for Christmas?” asks Santa Claus (alias Cathy Lo- rang) of Mrs. Paul Vidani, speech instructor. FRENCH STUDENTS Sue Vickman, Jeanne Impleman, and Ellen Flatley listen to French folk-songs played and sung by Mrs. Techmeier, French in¬ structor.
