f ,i 5 C...,,v Eff 5 if -31 4 l A rs Y. A L' rr' N ve , Simon Patrick takes advantage of a free moment and grades Class 5 tests. simon PATRICK Math, Soccer, and an English accent all mean one thing, Patrick makes his grand debut. The first thing you notice about Mr. Patrick is his Eng- lish accent. It really isn't English, however, since he was born in Toronto, Canada. He lived there only a short time, as he and his family moved to Pennsylvania and then to St. Louis. He went to Washington University and was training to play soccer un- til a head injury cut his career short. After graduating from Washington University, he at- tended Purdue. That's the basics, here's the rest. To begin with, his rela- tionship with his wife is far from usual. Although he mar- ried in 1979, he and his wife have seen very little of each other. She works as a systems analyst in Dallas while he teaches at Country Day. They see each other on weekends. In addition, he and his wife have a finch collection. What start- ed out as just a couple birds has grown to forty-two, and at one time, there were as many as seventy. After teaching class 6 and class 5 algebra for a year, Mr. Patrick said he likes the atmo- sphere of the school. He also said he enjoyed helping Doc Kalmar coach varsity soccer. What impresses most people about Mr. Patrick is his friendliness and positive atti- tude. Not only does he have a sense of humor, but he also of- fers special help to students during and after class. He's flexible, so kids can learn what he's teaching. As Kevin Kerber aptly put it, He teaches the way kids want to learn. by Bob McKelvey Faculty!2.27

,JUG 83,-O Q I 85 , 1 l 1 Ms. Moore with her technical background. ooaorev MCDORE She's dedicated and involved. When it comes to Audio-Visual, Moore means more. Having received her bache- lor's degree in communica- tions and her Master's degree in media, Ms. Dorothy Moore was more than ready to fill the job left by Mrs. Moyle as the head of the audio-visual de- partment. In college she was the sports director of the campus' radio station, and she became inter- ested in the sports program at Country Day. In her first year at C.D.S. she took great inter- est in Water Polo, and decided to build support for the team. A caring and devoted person, Ms. Moore's support soon earned her a position as assis- tant coach. Most of her other extra-cur- ricular activities revolve around SADD and the video newspaper. In SADD she serves as commoderator and contacts the National Council of Alcoholism for information. With the video newspaper, a new club at school this year, she has editorial license over all articles and films. One of the things she likes so much about Country Day is the contact she has with stu- dents. She is pleased with their behavior and attitude, and thinks' the majority of them are trying to be gentle- men - but of course there are certain days . . . As she summed up, I ap- preciate how the students ac- cepted me and the way they have treated me. I try to be fair in hope that by my exam- ple the students will be nice to one anotherg they need to be thought of as good people to be truly successful. by David Reif FaCultyf229
