w acuity Teaching, Coaching and No Free Time Over the years many teachers who have special talents and interesting backgrounds have gone unrecognized by the student body. A large part of these were the teachers who took part in more than just their average classes. We ' re talking about teachers who also coached in sports. A lot of time and work had to be put into one of these dual teaching and coaching schedules. Time had become more precious due to their involve- ment, leaving less free time, which might have been spent with their fam- ilies. One of the biggest disadvantages of being involved with sports and regular classes is that there is less free time at home. Most of my time is spent prepar- ingfor classes and games, said Varsity Softball Coach Carol Sarkissian. Along with Softball, Sarkissian was also in- volved with Drill Team, racquet sports.

For example, teachers who had skills that made them a good coach, also used the same techniques One of the biggest disadvan- tages of being involved with sports and regular classes is that there is less free time at home. — Coach Sarkissian to become successful teachers. But most teachers admitted that getting to know students in and out of class was the biggest advantage. It ' s interesting to see the difference of a student in and out of class. In class they could be a quiet, studious student, but then on the field the same person can be obnoxious and outgoing, said Sarkissian. Unfortunately, these active teachers could only devote a certain amount of time to each activity. Many teachers would have loved the opportunity to concentrate on either their classes or sports. This way more time could be used to prepare for lessons or games. But because of the circumstances, their time was divided between these two. Sometimes planning for a lesson is tough when there is a game the night before, said Coach Larry Holmes, who also taught four senior seminar classes and one comp 2 class, but you just have to make the effort and get it done.

acuity Ir isn ' t easy finding J • - ■ j fc ' PERFECT! A perfect teacher Is one who in- volves him or herself with the ideas of the students. said Ron Stencel. A perfect student Is hard-working, studi- ous and curious, said Gary Pick. Many students and teachers had their own idea of ideal educators and scholars. But what makes them per- fect? . . . Students and teachers gave their opinion on this question. Some of the teachers didn ' t believe that there was a perfect student. I don ' t believe that the perfect student exists. If he or she does, then I wish that they would enroll in one of my classes, said Amy Uribe. If there was a perfect student, she felt that they would have to have a desire to acquire skills that jid prepare him or her for adult- hood. Mark Ritter also believed that there was no perfect student. This world is filled with human beings, absolutely of To me, a teacher tries to make the subject interesting, and funny. — Divina Ges- toso which is perfect in any way. The students felt that a teacher ' s job was not just to teach but they had to have some kind of relationship with them. To me the perfect teacher tries to make the subject interesting and fun. said Also, they would have to be kind, Divina Gestoso. A perfect teacher would never make you feel insignificant in class. He or she would help you no matter what. Also, he or she would make the class as interest- ing as possible and try to make every- one participate, said Scott Fisk. Perfection is something that will probably never be seen since every- body makes mistakes in life. With the students and teachers comments, maybe people will realize that nobody is perfect and take this into consideration when mistakes are made. story by Jona de los Santos: layout by Dee Honda; photos by Tim Thetford and Jack Elliott Carol Nelson: Special Ed Chuck Newbourg: Head Custodian Sue Nordine: Librarian Alice OKeeffe: Foods 1.
