THANKS FOR THE IVIEIVIGRIES Remember these faces? They've drilled you, yelled at you, hounded you, praised you, annoyed you, teased you, and all but killed you. For one reason or another, be it wonderful, ridiculous, or a totally disas- terous, you'll never forget some of them. Remember that day when nothing went right at all? You sat in English class last hour, sulking and feel- ing sorry for yourself, and your teacher caught you not paying attention. Later she came over and asked Bcirboro Shivers Cormelito Sims Lindo Smith i f . . sels Pom Spring Dione Stonley Suson Thompson you what was wrong. Part of you wanted to scream at her for butting into your business, but another part was glad that somebody recognized what a lousy day you were having! Remember the librar- ians? Only because of that day you were walking through the library with Su- sie and Billy Bob and decid- ed to have a seat on the table. There was that voice- Please don't sit on the tabIe! You hopped down, just a little embarrassed. Well, we never need to wor- ry about the welfare of the library's tables. Remember the ser- geants-at-arms of the cafe- teria? You may think that the administrators have it easy, just spending their days standing around the cafeteria, doing announce- ments and pushing pencils. You forget the unseen parts of the job - the pronunci- ation of all those names, for instance. lf Mr. Whoever messes up over the P.A., the entire world hears it. Then there were the faculty meetings - those long, end- less, early-morning faculty meetings. Then there were the times when they had to pinch-hit for another staff member. On the first of May QMayday! Maydaylj Mr. Walker got to play nurse. He was quickly accosted by two students from fourth hour art, both of whom had just chiseled their fingers. Messy, messy! That must have been quite a job for the maintenance man! Remember standing in line to get an excuse for an absence? Didn't you won- der if Mrs. Witcher got tired of signing her name all day? She and the other secre- taries had to deal with ei eryone in the building, fror the freshman who couldn get his locker open to th substitute teacher who wa always running late. How' you like that job? Remember our friendl neighborhood counselors With all our teenage prot lems to deal with, I wouldnt want that job. They've see us atour worst, either cry ing our eyes out, sulkin stubbornly, or ready to tee our hair out or theirs. The must have a million storie they could tell! Remember, lastly, all th teachers at Vines? We e ther loved them or woul have welcomed a chance 1 kill them. We wondered jus how they always seemed t be in the wrong place at th wrong time - for us, any way! They always seeme to show up in the hall fn one time the defenseles student didn't have a ha pass. Of course, there wa also the time when yot math semester grade wa 89.25, and you bit yot nails for a week wonderin if she would give you th ninety. That way you coul tell your parents, Yeah, got an A in math! Whe you finally got the repo: card and there was the beautiful ninety, you swor you'd love your mat teacher forever - at leas until problem number fi' teen on the next test. Well, it was quite a yea! folks. You may ask, Wh do these people work wit us people? Don't ask me I have no idea. Anyway they do - and we'll neve forget them, for whateve the reason. As Bob Hop would say, thanks for th memories.

TEACHERS IN WAITING T's 8:30 dm.: The Tordy bell jusT rong. The clossroom is filled. Mrs. Thomos is sTonding in fronT of o new closs preporing The lesson. She is o new sTudenT Teocher who feels she is on The edge of The TwilighT zone. Mrs. Thomos wenT To Songer High School: yes, she once wos o high school sTudenT Too. She oTTended Bokersfield SToTe UniverslTy in Colifornio. Now she is oTTending UTD for her Teocher's cerTificoTe. She hod been working oT o non-profiT bird rehobiliToTion cenTer when she discovered she would like To be o Teocher. Biology hos olwoys been inTeresfing To her, especiolly zoology. The one Thing, oTher Thon fundomenToIs, ThoT she would like To Teoch her sTudenTs is ThoT iT's enjoy- oble To leorn jusT for The soke of leorning. To her, o Teocher needs To discipline, buT iT reolly depends on The sTudenTs' oTTiTudes. Mrs. Thomos feels ThoT sTu- denTs ond Teochers shouldn'T be friends buT They con be confidonTes. Her nexT gool, oTher Thon being The besf Teocher she con be, is To possibly become d mdrine biologisT. CompuTers ore The fuTure of The business world, ond high school sTudenTs ore The fuTure businessmen ond women. The Two need To merge. Mrs. Lommers wenT To high school in Richordson oT Loke Highlonds ond Then To EosT Texos SToTe UniverslTy. She chose ThoT school becouse iT hod o good Teoching progrom ond becouse she would be close To home buT for enough owoy for independence. Teoching hos olwoys been whoT she wonTed To do. She hos olwoys liked working wiTh young people, so Teoching wos o logicol choice. She hos Two degrees - one in business educoTion ond onoTher in physicol educoTion. A high school shorThdnd Teocher influenced her decision To work for her busi- ness degree. Besides ocodemics she hopes To Teoch her sTudenTs To be responsible ond orgonized. Like oTher Teochers, she believes ThoT o sTudenT-Teocher relofionship should be friendly buT musT be moinToined. MoTh hos olwoys come eosy for Ms. Kline. CDon'T you wish iT hod for you'?j She wenT To W. W. Somuel High School in PleosonT Grove ond is now oTTending UTD for her Teocher's cerTificoTe. She decided To become o Teocher when she wos midwoy Through school: she hod inTended To become on engineer. Ofher Thon ocodemics, she would like To Teoch her sTudenTs To hove high self-esfeem ond To hove o good self-imoge. Since sTudenTs Tend To TesT Their own limiTs, she feels ThoT o Teocher hos To show discipline. Ms. Kline doesn'T hove ony higher gools oTher Thon being o Teocher. STudenTs ond Teochers, in her opinion, should keep Their disTonce buT be close enough To core. i Q, -' . L mln, 'I 3 ., f -my . if I 116 K' The Thigh bone connecfed To The knee bone T N. V , . ,. 'S
