Pal-ing Around Staff This year there has been a special bond between faculty. The idea of secret pals for faculty by faculty has shown many benefits on both sides. The idea was to have faculty secret- ly give gifts or do things for the other faculty mem- ber's name they have. lt is plainly an open act of shar- ing and caring. This idea was started by Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Whitfield. Mrs. Turner along with Mrs. Whitfield thought of the idea to bring faculty closer together and give people a sense of love and unity for the school, Mrs. Hightower said. The joy found in the eyes of new and old facul- ty is prevalent everyday. No one knows who their secret pal is, but at the end of the school year they will be revealed. Not knowing makes everyone close be- cause any member of the Mrs. Hightower, the always dedicated teacher, sits with students as they go over a story in English. faculty could be responsi- ble for your presents. When I receive some- thing from my secret pal, I find myself more consid- erate of the whole faculty because they may be that secret pal, Mrs. Larson said. Looking at this from the other side, the feeling of giving makes people feel good. A regret is that they don't always get to see the expression of joy and sur- prise. lt's similar to define your experience when you play Santa Claus. The only way I could improve the experience would be to witness this person dis- cover her gifts, Mrs. Low- ery said. This idea has still shown many rewards on both sides. Receiving gifts makes them feel accepted by the faculty, and giving gifts allows the expression of camaraderie to be re- vealed.

Portable Teachers Erik Swafford People Editor lust when you thought compact discs were the most exciting product of modern technology something even better comes along: portable teachers. These teachers are a major breakthrough in Arkansas education. Programmed to switch rooms almost every peri- od, these teachers depend on rolling desks as their home base. Is it conve- nient? Maybe to some people, but not to the teachers. You always need some- thing you don't have. You can't carry maps on a cart, Coach Mobley said. It's extra work because you have to be sure you have everything, but I don't mind, Mrs. Snellings said. These portable tea- chiners have to rotate from class to class with some of them teaching in a different room every period. The reason behind this? There are not enough rooms in the school for every teacher to have one, so some must 192 People share with other teachers. The portable teachers depend very much on their carts. These carts help them move books and other necessities to class, and some of the teachers even use them as desks. lt's tough, but some- one's got to do it, Coach Mobley said. Not having a desk or room that you feel is your own is very different, Mrs. Snellings said. A big problem for the portable teachers is traveling through the crowded hallways. Because of crowds you may be late or have to start class in a rush, Coach Mobley said. lt does get too crowd- ed at times, but I find the students polite, Mrs. Snellings said. The portable teachers will probably be around for a while. So, if you see some teacher running down the hallway with a cart, watch out! It's prob- ably a portable teacher.
