acuity Taking o different DIRECTION It was a little after 7 a.m. Teachers started to pull up into the faculty park- ing lot. Amy Uribe came in her sporty convertible rabbit, while Linda Bache- lor drove up in her red corvette. And then there was Ken Klotzle with his Nashbar Tour. No, this wasn ' t a new kind of car. it was Klotzle ' s 10-speed bike which he rode to school. Otherfac- ulty members who perferred other forms of transportation included Tony Morreale and Ken Gunn. Klotzle rode to and from school four to five days a week. He enjoyed riding because it was good exercise, it was not a polluting form of transportation, and it was a way for him to save money on gas. It takes me about an hour and 10 minutes to get to school and it ' s a little shorter going home, said Klotzle. Klotzle had been riding for the past T AFTER HIS MORNING JOG, principal Ken Gunn goes to hit the showers. Gunn usually jogged about three mornings a week. three years and presently he rode 175- 200 miles per week. He not only hiked for his own sake, but also for the com- munity. I also like to bike because it helps out the community by making less pol- lution. I think we should concentrate Walking gives me a good chance to think things over. — Tony Morreale less on gasoline when possible. Students may have seen Morreale, a math and science teacher, walking home from school. He tried to walk home everyday. Morreale walked four miles a day whenever possible. It took him about an hour to complete his trip. Though walking kept him in shape, his reasons for walking were different. Mor- reale had a bad back and bad knees; the exercise he obtained by walking could help him avoid an operation. I ' ve gotten use to walking home and I think it ' s a good idea because it gives me a good chance to think things over, said Morreale. Gunn, Walnut High ' s new principal, also exercised to school. He tried to jog three days a week in the morning and one day a week home from school. He ran approximately 3 ' 2 miles and it took him 20-30 minutes. Jogging helped him to think things over. I have a desk job and I am forced to sit all day. Jogging helps me clear out the cobwebs and think things over, commented Gunn. Though Klotzle, Morreale and Gunn all had there individual reasons for not driving to school like the majority of the faculty members, the important thing was — they got there!

DOING HER DUTY, Mrs. Barbara Butkus calls the district office to obtain the teachers absent list. IVIrs Butkus has been with WHS for three years ▼ EXCEPTIONALLY HELPFUL AS USUAL, Donna Ekblad gives directions to a lost student in the office She and Dee Wisberger ran things i Attendance. 1 have so many interruptions during the day that I hardly finish a sentence! acuity A look iflfO rhe world of SECRETARIES Who is this woman behind the force of our distinguished principal, Mr. Gunn? No. not Mrs. Gunn! I ' m speaking of our trusty school secretary, Mrs. Barbara Butkus. While we ' re probably still in bed, hesi- tating to get up, Mrs. Butkus is already in the office and ready to work at 7 a.m. sharp. Calling the district office to obtain the list of absent teachers and their substi- tutes is one of her duties as secretary. She also types, takes in mail, answers telephone calls, and makes all appoint- ments for Gunn. Previously working at Suzanne and Vejar. she admits Walnut is her favorite. I ' ve been working at this school dis- trict for 13 ' ? years, and at this school for three and I love it. Especially the kids. But there ' s one thing she really loathes .. interruptions! I have so many interruptions during the day that I hardly finish a sentence! Butkus is a superb person to work I believe she ' s a beautifa- mous person. She ' s a won- derful scorekeeper and I love her very much. She ' s great. — Mary Weisberger with according to her co-workers in the office. She ' s really nice, she ' s really easy to work for and she always looks hap- py. said switchboard operator Susan Stone. She ' s a great person, agreed at- tendance clerk Donna Ekblad. I believe she ' s beautifamous. She ' s also a great timekeeper and I love her. laughed Mary Weisberger. also an at- tendance clerk in the office. Although many believe secretaries are the ones who run the school, But- kus doesn ' t think it ' s true. Mr. Gunn has the last say-so, not the secretaries. Unlike most of us, the day didn ' t end at 2:25 for Butkus. She didn ' t leave the office until everything was in order and done. For most of the year, that would be around 3;30. sometimes longer. There is just so much to be done that it ' s too hard to ever leave on time. Mrs. Butkus is a very nice and friendly person. She even went out of her way to help me once. said Jim Hamilton. Many students feel the same way about her and appreciates everything she ' s done for them. Story by Lily Chen: layout by Deanne Honda: photographer Alan Odermatt 236 Faculty Secretaries
