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

Concerning this daily routine, Mrs. Phyllis Roberts stated, I find it ' s hard to go home and cook. Mrs. Ella Phelps stated, When I cook at home, 1 find that I make too much and use too many spices. Selecting a balanced menu that fits government standards and appeals to everyone is a difficult task. However, Mr. Rick Fulmer remarked, I haven ' t missed a school lunch in ten years. In additon, while students and teachers enjoyed holidays, the custo- dial staff worked in three shifts around the clock during vacations. Walking an average of seven miles a day, Mr. Harold McCashland was busy doing routine jobs as well as re- pairing frozen pipes that burst in sub- zero temperatures. Everyone played a vital role in keeping the school going. Afterall, it was the people who made the build- ing.
