However, sometimes a sev- en-hour day changes to twelve hours as the papers travel home to be graded at night. Many times teachers that were involved in extra-curricular ac- tivities spent many extra hours at school, the extra hours sometimes included week- ends. Some teachers enjoyed anytime that they could use to break the regular routine of teaching. The best part of my day was any class in which I got all freaked out and started to teacher. Others intertwined their home life and school life. Re- membering when l got to school, what I forgot at home was the hardest part of my day, stated Mrs. Orrel Canik, French teacher. Just as students felt pres- sure to do homework, teach- ers felt the same about grad- ing papers. The constant pressure of stacks and stacks of papers to grade was the most difficult part of my day, said Mrs. Saralyn Richard, English teacher. Quite often people think teachers have it made. Do they really have the ideal job? lt all depends on how one looks at the day in the life of a teach like a wildman, said Mr. Dave Konkol, TNS 1 H i,'.i' if se . 4s::'53' S s N795 . . rf.

'Q K af ' 1 xg, Mrs. June Haug has taught her students the tricks of the trade in Home Economics and Child Develop- ment for the past 19 years. ,tv in if-f Q I M .1- Years of teaching math have made Mr. Mitchell Ko- con an expert on the quadriatic equation. 'Q 'x if 5 rttr t fi .. selor, Straightening out the mass confusion of students' schedules is a big job for Mrs. Jean Simpson, coun- Tee ching ends, new life begins fter years of staying up during the late show to grade papers, Mrs. Donna Smith, Mr. Mitchell Ko- con, Mrs. June Haug, and Mrs. Jean Simpson could finally get a good night's sleep. As their teaching career ended, a whole new way of life came into view as they entered re- tirement. Mrs. Smith, business teach- er, taught shorthand, tran- scription, typewriting, and practical typewriting for 29 years. The best part of teaching was seeing students learn, stated Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith plans to live half the year in Illinois and the other half in Florida, where she will play golf and relax. Only the faces seemed to change for Mr. Kocon as his place of employment stayed the same for his entire teach- ing career. Mr. Kocon spent 20 years teaching in the Math Department. l'll miss the as- sociation with the other teach- ers and the students the most, stated Mr. Kocon. After driving 50 miles to work every day for 11 years, Mrs. Simpson, counselor, fi- nally was able to sleep that extra hour. What did she enjoy most about her job? The best part of the job was the friendship with the students, stated Mrs. Simpson, who plans to travel during October and November. After fulfilling her ambition to instruct high school and preschool children, Mrs. Haug retired from a 19 year teaching career. Her favorite was the child care lab. lt was great to see high school students inter- acting with small children and helping them make their first school experience a positive one, said Mrs. Haug. As teachers faced their final teaching days, they realized that it was not only an end, but also a new beginning.
