Interaction with students is what I like best about teaching. 1 dislike the very few students in a class who do not have any desire to better themselves through knowledge. Mrs. Laurie Bauer — Science I chose this profession because 1 love it and because I found I could really devote myself to it. The thing I like best about teaching is getting to know the students. Two things that disturb me equally are student apathy and having so many people outside the classroom decide what should be done in the classroom. Mrs. Velma Rendon — English I enjoy working with young people most of the time. I like watching and guiding students to achieve success. I don ' t like students that do not want to do anything except take up space. Mr. Laverne Griffith — Industrial Arts I ' ve taught everything from sixth grade to seniors. I especially enjoy teaching the seniors who find themselves in their last year and somehow ' wake up ' . I don ' t have the answers to the problems in today ' s educational system. 1 only hope to do the best iob I can and see my students prepared for life and know that . -f-omplished something. Mr. James Robey — Government, Coach More than anything I enjoy the challenge of teaching English. I enjoy the entire process of de vising learning strategies. I dislike grading papers, ask my students. Mrs. Annette Scott — English 236 Faculty

Taking care of the school What is the daily workload of a custodian at school? According to Mr. Carlton Matthews, head custo- dian, a day begins early, for he ar- rives to open the school at 6:30 a.m. On the cold winter days, he braves rain and icy wind, making sure all the grounds are kept clean. However, the hardest and most important part of his job is responsibility. I must check the school to see that everything is all locked up, he said. Mr. Earl Kitchens, who is in charge of maintenance, regards the school plant in a different manner. He must make sure that the elevator is work- ing, the heater is running in cold weather, and the air conditioning is always in top condition. On weekends during the winter, when some of the days are like those we had in January, Mr. Kitchens must check to make sure no pipes burst. Repairing things that the students tear up, according to Mr. Kitchens, is his most time-consuming job. Walter Soliz and other custodians were in charge of keeping all the classrooms clean. 235

As a coach, I like the interaction I have with the athletes. It ' s great to see them strug- gle so hard and become successful. Mrs. Denise Fetterman — English, Basketball I enjoy working with youth and helping them learn all they can about the business field. Mrs. Darlene Meyer, VOE Coop I chose teaching as a career because I enjoy people and the challenge of working with teenagers. I enjoy watching my students ' grow ' into adults. Mrs. Barbara Hill — English My senior math teacher talked me into teaching the last two weeks of my senior year. I ' ve never been sorry. Mrs. Ann Krebs — Math I like teaching students a skill that they can take with them and possibly get a part-time job or maybe a nice full-time job. People need to come be a teacher for a day so they can unders- tand that we are professionals. Mrs. Tillie Loredo — Business I love the kids in the classroom and responsibility of teaching those youngsters and watching them grow mentally. I set my goals every year and do my best trying to reach them. Stroman High School has the mixture of studp- . inat I ' ve always wanted to work with. You don ' t make champions, you build them. Mr. Hodie Garcia — Spanish, Football, Head Baseball coach I like to help students get to the materials they need. Ms. Virginia Cowen, Librarian I love teaching because no two classes are ever the same. I always have some challenge of how to teach a student with ' special problems, ' Mrs. Sharon Leach — Special education I wanted to be a football coach and it required being a teacher also. I like the opportunity to work with young people and help them understand some things about themselves and their environment. In coaching, I like to help develop self discipline. I dislike the limitations of time, equipment and finances. Mr. Harry McCluskey — Biology, Head Football coach I love working with students. I always liked explaining. I want the students to develop a questioning mind and approach to everything they do. Students should be concerned about what they are or are not learning, not just the grade they make. They must give 100% to get 100%. Ms. Nan Jackson — Biology I enjoy working with students and professionals at this level. There is so much we can learn from each other. An individual goes into the teaching profession because he she loves to work with other people. At 2 1 , who cared about money that much? It ' s not until you have a family and home and want to provide the best. Some day, we will be paid what we are worth. I hope that day is not far. We are beginning to lose a lot of good people. Mr. Trinidad San Miguel — Assistant Principal Faculty 237
