'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.
