N early every student reports experiencing nasty feelings towards one of their teachers. ' ' Some teachers seem so unsympathetic that one wonders if they were ever students themselves, comments one student. Despite some student claims, the fac¬ ulty at WHS is a group of caring individuals. They are always ready to talk with their students about either personal or academic problems. They have attended various colleges so their teaching skills are very different. WHS has benefited greatly from their combined knowledge. Along with different backgrounds, WHS teachers bring many different personalities to the school. Some teachers are known for their ebullient personalities while others are famed for their bare bones teaching styles. Teachers understand (even if the students some¬ times do not) that their main responsibility is edu¬ cating students, not necessarily befriending them. However, among the friendly mentors and the strict educators we seem to be getting a great education. — by Lauren Murray INDIVIDUALIZED attention is frequently available to studen ts. Mr. Fusco helps Aram Coudsouzian takes advantage of this opportunity in architecture.

First Floor A s you look at this page, you ' re prob¬ ably wondering what the Business department, Library, and Physical Education could possibly have in common. Well, for starters, they are all on the first floor. These departments are the groundwork of our basic education. En¬ glish papers could not always be turned in without typing them. History papers could not be produced without the library. Then there is the running to get to class with the help of physical fitness. There ' s the possibility that these depart¬ ments are on the first floor for a reason. Maybe they really constitute the basis of our education. Or maybe these depart¬ ments are all on the first floor because the other floors were full. But, whether they were purposely grouped or not, we have to admit that without the first floor, we would be lost. — by Marilyn Cummings THE combination of clear skies and warm weather this fall was great news for Mrs. Saba ' s crew of short clad, enthusiastic archers.
