H U'B'S'T'l'T'U'T'E'S UCH FUN It is sill dark outside. Everything is still. Suddenly, the pre-dawn peacefulness is shattered by the loud ring of a telephone. A groggy person reaches to the phone, picks it up and mutters a soft hello The person on the other end talks rapidly, but in a manner that the groggy person under- stands what to do. Another day in the life of a substitute teacher has begun. You always wonder where you're going to go when the phone rings. You're also wondering what you're going to teach and what kind of students you will be in charge of. The main thing is just to hope that you'll be preparedf, one-year-veteran substitute teacher Chris Stull said. Once the substitute arrives at his or her designated school, doubt fills the mind. The seemingly endless jour- ney to the classroom has begun. The substitute teacher enters the room only to find several students talking and carrying on in a loud manner. The students briefly look at the stranger then go on with their business. Classroom life was different with a substitute than when the real teacher was present. It seemed as if there was no respect for the substitute. Many more students begin to trickle in the classroom. The tardy bell rings, but the students continue to talk and carry on.

Matter of fact, I love substitut- ingf' four-year-veteran sub- stitute teacher Bill Mundell said. As the day comes to a close, the substitute teacher plans to go home. After writing a report to the teacher and checking out, the substitute walks out of the school to head for his car. He jumps in his car, sighs with relief, then turns the key, backs out, and drives home. Yet another day has been completed in the life of a substitute teacher. I think subs are fun. I really enjoy having one. School would be dull without subs, Sophomore Jennifer Miranda said. -Shannon Parr I 'is -.. fx f J
