Facts 'n Fancies
By Susan
Like most little girls at one
time or another, I dreamed, of
being either a nurse or a teacher
when I grew up. tWomeris libbers
will probably react with disgust
to the blatant sex-role typing of
that statement.)
Happily for me, however, my
energies and interests became
channeled in other directions.
But for some of my public school
friends, their childhood dreams
came true, At least four of them
went into one form or another of
medicine.
Last weekend, I went to Sarnia
to visit another girlfriend,
Phyllis, who is fulfilling her life-
long wish to be a teacher. She
teaches a total of about 40 kin-
dergarten pupils and if the
weekend taught me anything, it
was the work and never-ending
planning that goes into each day
of lessons and the infinite
patience and dedication attached
to the job.
Anyone who believes that a
teacher's day starts at 9 a.m, and
ends at 3:30 in the afternoon is
simply contributing to another of
the many myths which surrounds
the life of a teacher.
This week, for example, Phyllis
decided to carry through with a
circus motif, This means that just
about everything from art and
music to the basics of reading,
writing and arithmetic will one
way or another work in and
around the theme of the circus,
You can learn colors by
coloring the clown's costume and
his funny face. You can learn
associations by matching the
circus animals with the different
kinds of food they eat. You can
learn numbers by drawing a dot-
to-dot picture of an elephant.
I don't mean to suggest that
teacher now works any harder
than teachers did when I was in
elementary school, or before
that. But the old "See Dick, See
Jane. See Spot. See Dick and
Jane play with Spot", routine just
isn't around as much anymore.
Last week, Phyllis planned
some of her classes around the
American sky-lab space project.
The kids saw and colored and
discussed surprisingly detailed
pictures of the space module and
the astronaut's space suits. I dare
say the kids knew as much or
possibly even more than many of
their parents, to whom the
launching of a space project has
become a more or less routine
event.
This would seem to be one of
the most rewarding aspects of
working with quite young
children, Just about anything is a
novelty for them and their
reactions are so spontaneous.
But then who has to come up
with all these ingenious ideas -
ideas which have to be
educational and yet entertaining
enough to hold the interest of the
kids?
The teacher, of course! And
what person 20 years old or more
has an imagination that can
compete with that of a five or six-
year-old? It must be vet y taxing,
and just a plain lot of hard work
to keep up with the kids, let alone
ahead of them,
And a teacher is expected to
know all the answers - about
everything. Virtually no subject
under the sun is supposed to be
outside the realm of a teacher's
knowledge: "Where do puppies
come from? How does grass
grow? How to you make an egg?
Why does 'three' come after
'two"? How long is five minutes?"
How can one person be ex-
pected to satisfy the insatiable
curiosity of a kindergarten pupil?
But her students are certainly
not the only people a teacher has
to satisfy. In fact, at times, I
would think they might be the
least of her problems,
At various times throughout a
day, a teacher must act as
confidant, mother, social and
moral advisor. Naturally, she
must answer to her superiors
within the school, system and
often she must cope with over-
anxious parents who can't or
won't understand why their
genius of a child can't write his
name yet; or why he isn't
bringing home as much work as
his sister did last year,
Previously I mentioned the
myths surrounding a teacher. I
suppose these same myths apply
to just about anyone who appears
constantly in public life, but
because teachers play such a big
role in the lives of the children in
their classes, the myth can be
multiplied by 25 or 30 curious
minds each day.
For example, it is sometimes
quite astounding for a child to
realize that his teacher has a
mother and a father, and
brothers and sisters and that in
fact she grew up just the same as
he did. -
When I Avas in public school,
one of my teachers boarded with
an aunt. I could heardly believe it
one day when I was up there and
he actually sat down down and
watched television with me. I
didn't know that teachers liked
watching television,
This same young man, who as I
recall, was a bachelor and quite
good looking, one night took out a
friend of the family and I found it
hard to believe that he actually
went out on dates.
Even in high school, this myth
never quite disappears. I am
quite good friends with one of my
brother's high school teachers.
Even though my friend used to
come out to the house quite often,
I always got the impression that
there was a certain mysticism as
far as my brother was concerned.
By university, this sort of
feeling has pretty well vanished,
But you still wonder just what a
certain prof's husband or wife
looks like. A small inkling of
doubt as to his or her real life still
exists.
Be this as it may, I think
teachers are sometimes the
unsung heroes or heroines of our
time. They often spend more time
during the day with a child than
his own parents do.
If a kid learns how to count to
100 in no time flat, he is classed as
very bright, But if he doesn't
learn to count, it is blamed on the
teacher.
So, as another school year
draws to a close, this column is a
tribute to the untiring efforts of
teachers.
See the teacher,
See him drag himself to his car.
See him drop exhaustedly on
the living room couch.
See him getting ready for
another day's work.

news
The Huronview Auxiliary were
hosts for the May birthday party
Wednesday. President, Mrs.
Colclough introduced the
program which was provided by
members of the various in-
stitutes.
Mrs. Radford of Clinton played
several piano melodies during
the afternoon and accompanied
Mary Taylor, Norman Speir and
Jerry Collins for some in-
strumental numbers.
There were readings by Mrs.
Shirray and Mrs. Clairmont; a
piano solo by Mrs. Joyce Pepper;
mouth organ solos by Bob Tur-
ner; and the program finished up
with a lively sing-song.
Following the singing of
"Happy Birthday" gifts were
presented to the 23 celebrants.
Mr. Henry Leishmen thanked
those assisting with the party on
behalf of the residents.
The residents were entertained
on family night with a program
from the Blyth area arranged by
Jim Lawrie, Everyone enjoyed
the jokes by Mr. Lawrie in his
role as master of ceremonies as
well as several. Scottish numbers
complete with kilts.
A group of young musicians
from Blyth, Anne Thalen, Steve
Walsh, Bill Burkholder and John
Button played a medley of
popular tunes with the Blyth
Citizens Band playing some old
favorites.
Mrs. Mary Taylor, a lifetime
resident of Blyth who will soon be
celebrating her 95th birthday,
expressed the appreciation of the
residents for the program.
