L'—V „ T-E-A-C-H-E-R-S tA — by - Patricia McLoucTI'--^ ■ ;y * Next to parents, teachers "perhaps have more influence on a young person’s life than does anyone. Little children sometimes regard their teachers as be ings with superhuman powers. But though they are ordinary people, teachers play an iiiportant part in a child’s life.They can open the door to fresh new ideas,and as they develop a child’s mind, can help shape his life-long beliefs. All teachers can contribute to a young person's growth. Students realize that some of their teachers do not pro vide them with t;nough of the knowledge that they seek, and they are awed by the vast store of wisdom cf others. Teachers sometimes seem tyran nical and unfair—inpcssible assignments due on a short notice, too much homGKork on ballgaa^ nijdits ,hcrr:.ble tQsts,cr bad conduct grades for talking, but when we look back we forgot most of these little things,We are grateful for the knowledge we gained (sometimes against our will) and the understanding and inspiration we received. We also remember the teacher’s personality. Students can get to know their teach ers well. Without even bvicoming his close friend, a young person learns what kind of an individual his instructor is just by observing him in class^ A teach er does not alv^ays realize that his stu dents evaluate his character and compare him with other teachers, A teacher can be impossible and deman ding, hated, loved, taken for granted, helpful, a friend, a bore, inspiration, worshiped, forgotten,appreciated, sympa thetic, and many n.ore things to his stu dents. All of us have many teachers. Tl^ memory of some will fade with the passing of time; others will never be forgotten, Wliat they give us will remain bright, Y^s, there are as many different kinds of teacher’s as there eo?e students! ROVING REPORTER QUESTION: About Drive-Ins: What do you think of them or what comes to mind when they are men tioned? Coach Routh: I'd like to see the movie. Coach Bolton: I haven't seen the movie.

The real question asked by the reporter reporter was "What do you think of Cleo patra?" Naturally when a woman or girl referred to "her" it was necessary to change it to "him".
