Faculty- Prelbare Students JW LW? ITH PATIENCE, good humor, and understand- ing, the faculty of THS endures the trials, tribula- tions, joys, and rewards of the students, thereby earn- ing the respect of all. Because our teachers are be- fore us every school day for nine months, we often take them for granted, yet these are the people who establish our fundamental desires to learn, therefore molding our lives. Throwing open the doors of Troy last September, we welcomed eight new faculty members. Through departmental interests and through their social groups-The Guild, The Majority Club, and The Men's Club-they have all become closely associated with each other. Lately, a great emphasis has been placed on the advantages of highly trained teachers, all of Troy's have Masters degrees or are taking graduate study. Five have acquired advanced degrees in the past year. This initiative, added to their regular profes- 149' A : U W X -R. fa,-f ' H-up -Yigwmfi., M yszferies, Adventures sional participation, taken on the part of the THS faculty, shows their desire to improve themselves, thus improving us. Contrary to popular belief, teachers are human too. They have their ups and downs the same as everyone: ups such as the earning of advanced degrees, summer vacations, trips to Europe, new homes, new cars, and new babies, downs such as Mr. Neaderhiser's broken leg, disappointments in students, and the ever-present parental problems with which we are all familiar in our own homes. The students of TI-IS have grown closer to their teachers this year, not only through their classes, but through many extra-curricular activities. They see them as sponsors of organizations, as counselors, and as personal friends. It is for all these things, as well as for countless intangibles, that the students of Topeka High School offer bouquets of gratitude to the wonderful faculty of Troy. WVILEY E. ALBERG, M.S.
