Facult One oT The mosT diTTiculT iobs in The world is ThaT OT a Teacher. Their inTeresT in us seems ouT of proporTion when one analyzes Their rewards: Tor The mosT parT, Their dedicaTion goes above and beyond. They guide and They Teach, imparTing To Their sTu- denTs Their own knowledge and ex- periences hoping ThaT The sTudenTs will reTain whaT They have been TaughT and learn To Think Tor Them- selves. Their iob does noT end wiTh The lasT school bell, Tor many oT Them spend long hours coaching aTh- leTic Teams and heading exTracurricu4 lar acTiviTies. Where do They Tind The Time To be wiTh Their Tamilies? In Wyoming Valley WesT we' are very TorTunaTe To have, Tor The mosT parT. a very good TaculTy. WiTh such an expansive curriculum as ours, iT seems as Though iT would be diTTiculT To obTain enough Teachers. YeT liTTle do we, as sTudenTs, realize The True educaTional backgrounds of The men and women who Teach us. MosT oT The Teachers have Their masTer's de- Music qrees, and many more are working on docToraTes. NOT only do The Teachers Themselves beneTiT Trom This, buT The sTudenTs as well, Tor They are receiving Tree whaT The Teachers have paid Tor. We also someTimes Tail To realize ThaT as Teacher qualiTicaTions rise. educa- Tional sTandards in The schools rise as well. We would like To Thank These men and women Tor Their ded- icaTion and service and Tor being Teachers. -M. J. M. CHAIRMAN: Mr. Roberf Henderson James Selinge DoroThy Turner
