Gardening relaxes teacher A teacher's greatest reward is when he has used his special skill to bring his students from seed to blossom in the world of education. Mr. Wilfried Jarosch, Thornwood German teacher, does not confine this skill to the classroom. He also exercises this art in the world of gardening in his greenhouse. I like to garden and I wanted to do it all year round. He has been working on the greenhouse for about a year. Mr. Jarosch works in his greenhouse everyday for an hour caring for and enjoying his plants. I like plants because of their wonderful beauty and smell. The challenge involved is to get them from seed to flower. Be- sides the excitement of growing plants, greenhouse work is also a good form of relaxation for Mr. Jarosch. A greenhouse allows the gar- dener to raise desert plants as MR. W. PENCE Industrial Education MR. W. PENTEK Social Studies MRS. D. PEREZ Special Programs MR. N. PESAVENTO Foreign Language MISS J.

Trapped radiation from the sun allows for the greenhouse to keep a constant, safe tempera- ture, Mr. .larosch explainedg the temperature outside can be zero degrees with snow on the ground and the greenhouse will still hold a temperature of 95 degrees. Mr. Jarosch has a wide variety of plants from the showy flowered amaryllis to the colorful common zinnia. When Mr. Jarosch was asked what pleasure is involved in gar- dening, he declared, Gardening makes a person appreciate beau- ty, and gives a realization that plants like all other living things will be well and healthy only if they are given good care. Right: Gardening offers both challenges and achievements. Mr. Jarosch proudly displays one of his tomato plants. ,f -vs Q' 1 .23 'N if . iss... ..,.- ..a. sa. .,.. ..., 5 ., th 4, JA, up M ' i QW?

Teacher nurtures skills at towering altitudes 6 M7 1 H.. i . 'N Have you ever had the chance to fly like an eagle? The closest most of us have come is flying in an airplane. Some fortunate few get the chance to take control and become pilots. Mr. Ken Mus- zynski is one of the few. Although a pilot's license can be obtained at the age of sixteen, Mr. Muszynski did not start flight training until in college. Since then he has be- come an experienced pilot. Mr. Muszynski makes flying available to students here at Thornwood High School. He en- courages a minimum of three stu- dents to go up at a time to split the price, which runs between thirty- five and forty dollars. During this time, each student gets the feel of flying by actually taking con- Left: Mr. Ken Muszynski poses for a pho- tograph in front of his favorite pastime.

It's really an exciting hobby for students, but it can get expensive, explained Mr. Muszynski. A number of people have pur- sued their interests further after being so inspired. The aeronautics field has a wide range of career and recreational opportunities. Mr. Muszynski flies Whenever he has a chance to go to the Lan- sing Airport and rent a plane. It is often more convenient for him to be able to fly instead of driving somewhere. On weekends he and his friends take trips to places like the Playboy Club at Lake Geneva. Sometimes they have to fly home at night. Mr. Muszynski replied with an enthusiastic grin, I like night flying the best - with all the lights and everything, it's really beautiful! FACULTY 195
