TEACHER OF THE YEAR Patience, ability create winner Understanding, consideration, pa- tience, and most of all, caring best describe Mrs. Sally Kidney who was chosen Warren Township ' s Teacher of the Year for 1981-82. She has taught the physically handicapped at Stonybrook for four years, but she never thought she would win the award. Mrs. Kidney was chosen from ap- proximately eight teachers nomi- nated for the award. Her students say that her ability to understand and teach children won the award for her. Tina Marsh, a student of Mrs. Kid- ney, said, She deserved the award because she is nice and very under- standing. I love the kids, and most of all I love watching them learn. I guess I went into this field because I got in- terested in teaching special educa- tion, and I just decided to make a ca- reer out of it, commented Mrs. Kid- ney. Bill Jones had the initial idea of having Mrs. Kidney nominated for the award. The response of the other teachers in the building was as Mr. Mike McGrath described, Super positive! They were happy to help in any way — and they did. It was once said, May the best person win — and she did. During a break, Tina Marsh and Sean Toth tallc with Mr. Sally Kidney. MR.

Teachers find fun, excitement outside of school Besides the regular duties of teach- ing 5 classes, grading papers, and making lessons plans, many of the 75 certified teachers engaged in other outside interests. With a balanced staff of 38 men and 37 women and an average age of 38 with 12 ' 2 years teaching experience, many teachers did more than just teach. For instance, playing racquetball, taking piano lessons, writing a col- umn for the Indianapolis Athletic Club magazine, and Miss Piggy all have one thing in common — Ms. Al- ice Carroll. In additon, many teachers enjoy traveling in their spare time. Mr. Don May enjoys visiting out of the way places of historical interest, while Mrs. Judi Graf spends two weeks each summer in New England where she researches early American Au- thors. Not only does Mrs. Maurine Marchani enjoy traveling, but she also likes Greek folk dancing as well as motorcycling and rockhounding. In spite of bugs, rain, and lack of electricity, the outdoor life seems to hold much interest to Mrs. Janet Ca- ble and Miss Mary Kress, both avid campers. While Mr. Bill Humphrey enjoys all outdoor activities, Mrs. Penny Clift is an avid fisherman and the secretary of the Indiana Bass Fed- eration. Among the more adventurous, Mrs. Mary McGarvey enjoys snow skiing out West, while Mr. and Mrs. Rick Fulmer find snow skiing and wa- ter skiing relaxing. Mr. Tom Hen- drickson has done some limited mountain climbing. Showing their school spirit, teachers partici- pate in Mix and Match Day. 50 Staff Talking part in the faculty volleyball game, Mr. Fred Thayer returns the ball. Gardening is a pastime for Mr. Franklin Hill, Ms. Mary Kress, and Mr. Don May. Playing with the Kokomo Sympho- ny and guest conducting at the All- City Music Camp sharpened the skills of Mrs. Penny Clift. Mrs. Elaine Nelson is a member of the Sweet Adelines Chorus, while Mrs. Barb Moser sings in her church choir. For most, saving money involves turning down the thermostat, but Mr. Steve Smith has a better idea. He is building an experimental ethanol still this summer which he plans to use to fuel his car and heat his home. It ' s incredible how these faculty members hold so many different in- terests. You may still think of them as teachers, but they are real people, too. km
