ULCDL From where does the faculty of Washington-Lee come? The answer to that questiorz is an easy one. They come from every corner of the United States, from every point o the compass. W-L's teaching body comes from ninety-two colleges and universities in thirty-one states and the District of Columbia. Those are the dry statistics, the numbers, but the faculty is real, and, no matter how unreasonable teachers may seem at times, they are human. Here is another question, What will the students remember about their teachers? lt will probably be the reassuring word when a problem seems impossible, the hours after school sponsoring clubs, giving make up work, extra instruction, and detention. These are a few of the facets of a teacher's connection with school life that will be remembered by the students. Sitting with the student body in the stands, on the W-L side, at every football game, is a kind looking lady, or it could be a man. She, or he, is the one who will yell the loudest when a W-L man crosses the goal, she's the one who will sing VV-L Will Shine with as much gusto as any student. And the player on the field will have another memory, one of the teacher letting him come in after school to make up a test he had failed so he would be eligible to play in the game. The faculty of W-L is as capable a group as can be found anywhere. The average teaching experience for the teachers at W-L is eight years, yet this year four members of the faculty are teaching for the first time. Sixty-six of the faculty have won their Masters Degree, this accomplishment representing at least five years hard study, Much of this study has been done at night, so they could teach during the day. One-fourth of the faculty at W-L are working beyond their Master's Degree, I It would be hard to find a better, more capable, or more understanding group of instructors anywhere than the student body has here. The faculty teaches everyone the compass points of life in order that the students may be better able to live, they aim for active participation in school life by as many W-Lites as possible and they accomplish the laudable task of getting twenty-three hundred students through high school.
