Speaking From irwoiialiroeesslng, shoftf Erik Swallord 4 People Editor Full of compassion and endurance, spirit and hu- mor, support and sincer- ity, Clarice Hightower races through a day of teaching English to 120 seniors. How does she do it? Why does she do it? I love working with the students, Mrs. Hightow- er said. Mrs. Hightower shows a rare amountofdedication. She has been atMillsfor19 years, since its opening in 1967, and she still enjoys teaching EngIish.Sheisad- mired by other teachers because of her attitude. What I like best about her is her sensitivity and her ability to meet the stu- dents at a personal level, Mrs. Suedemeyer said. She has a good atti- tude, loves the students, and has been a main im- portant force at Mills, Mrs. Green said. She has a special rap- port with the kids, Mrs. Morton said. Mrs. Hightower mod- estly admits that she has been totally involved with Mills since before its opening. She helped de- sign the school and her room, which includes a stage from which she taught Speech and Drama. Loved by many, Mrs. Hightower has received Mr. Nash holds on to the stubborn goat that was decorated as a McClellan Lion during an assembly to top off Beat McClellan week. special honors. These honors are well deserved, IOO. The yearbook .was dedicated to me in 1972, and this year I was the Homecoming Queen, she said. Next year, after school is out, Mrs. Hightower wants to do everything she has ever wanted to do, but she won't be away from kids very long. She plans to spend time with her grandchildren,includinga third one expected in Iuly. Even with her hands full of grandchildren, Mrs. High- tower has one definite way to spend her leisure time. I'm going to fish, she said. Mrs. Hightower has been through 19 years at Mills, and she has been here longer than any other teacher. What has kept her here so long? For one reason, I stayed out of respect for Mr. john Voegele. The other is that I've felt a deep love for the school, a concern for the stu- dents, and a fellowship with the teachers. This was my school, Mrs. High- tower said. A lot of people have come to love Mrs. High- tower through the years, and Mrs. Elder knows the reason why. She always has a smile for everybody, Mrs. Elder said. Teachers 189
