Noticing changes in education Many changes took place in the late 70 ' s and early ' 80 ' s that really changed the teaching profession. In those years, fewer and fewer high school graduates entered college to major in education. Most would enter professions such as computer programming, engineering, medicine, or law. The biggest reason for the changes was due to the fact that those careers had a higher salary than that of careers in education. Martha Karvoletz, NEA president, remarked, In 1981, Missouri ' s per pupil expenditure was $350 below the na- tion al average. Now we are $650 below. Also in 1981, the average teacher ' s salary ranked 33 in the nation and was $2000 below the national average. Now the ranking is the same but we are be- hind by $3600. However, the salary that a teacher received was not the only change. Students realized that good grades were required if they were to beocme suc- cessful Mrs. Candace Anderson Mr. Gayle Anderson Mr. Bob Brady Ms. Lorene Brown Mr. Loren Burke Mr. Stephen Buck Mrs. Anita Campbell Mr. Don Dixon Mr. Barry Edwards Mr. Bill Gant Mr. Ron Gillman Ms. Peggy Gilmore faculty designed by lenora retherford

Board decision sports class cut With the issue of the varsity sports hcurs as the major controversy, the 1987-88 board of education discussed many debatable subjects over the course of the year. After much heated discussion, it was decided to do away with one hour of varsity sports, and have the coaches flip a coin to decide which team would get it first. Coach Don Dixon won the toss, and thus ended the debate. Girls var- sity sports continued for the 88-89 school year in its usual first hour time slot. The remaining team was forced to upset the already stable schedule, and will alternate every year hereafter. It was also decided that in two years the board would review the situation and determine how effective it has been. Another issue that received attention was the proposal of an AIDS policy. With AIDS becoming increasingly widespread, it was argued that a policy was needed that would handle each case individually should a problem occur. A third diploma-vocational-was also added. The board welcomed a new board member early in April. Mrs. Shawn Miller replaced Dr. Leo Porter. Porter retired from the board taking many years of service with him. -- ' ' ■ ' ■ rXS il roHr North School P rincipal Mr Bob Lee, patiently lis- tens to the complaints often hieard by an elementary principal- Phioto by Branden Boise 1 02 administration designed by heather lynch Mr. Randy Morrow, elementary counselor, and Mr Bill Gott. higti sctiool counselor, take a breal from their busy schedules to catch up on the day ' s events.
