The Rusk Cherokeean, Rusk. Texas
Miss Bob Leake Is
Honored At School
Assembly Friday
Miss Bob Leake was honored in
assembly by the Rusk .High School
student body Friday morning. May
22 to begin the official activities
of her "appreciation day."
Miss Leake was paid tribuute by
Curtis McLeod, high school prin-
cipal* when he pointed out that
you students will remember Miss
Leake because she is one of those
teachers that somehow reaches in-
to our very livesvShe even changes
your philsophy of life, your under-
standing of problems, habits, abili-
ties, and skills. She gives you a !
store of useful knowledge and in-
formation, which for some reason
shall remain with you. She teaches
you to think straight and far, to
avoid mistakes, and to plan your
lives more successfully. In years
to come you shall recall that
some of the deepest currents of
your lives have been turned and
strengthened by Miss Leake.
In your opinion what do you
think makes Miss Leake such an
outstanding teachef? This question
was asked of many high school
students during the past few days
by Mr. Chapman and Mr. McLeod.
The answers were varied and
interesting.
Many answered, she is the Same
Everyday. Not tempermental and
she never becomes ruffled.
Some students said "It is her At
titude and High Ideals". Her very
attitude seems to demand your
respect, attention, and good work.
A number believed it was her
Understanding Nature, which en-
courages and inspires each stu-
dent to try, and causes Miss Leake
to take individual interest in each
student.
Still others said, "Her Extreme
Fairness. She treats everyone alike
and shows no favoritism.
Some answered, because she
uses Democratic Principles in her
teaching. She encourages students
to express themselves and give
their opinions. It is student parti-
cipation all the way.
Others mentioned her Perfect
Room Order or Discipline, and
pointed out that this makes for an
ideal learning situation.
Many thought it was because she
sets her Requirements and Goals
so high. Then challenges us to
reach them.
It is because she knows her Sub-
ject Matter so well and uses so
many different teaching techni-
ques. This was the answer many
of her students gave.
Certainly you would expect
many of her students to say, it is
her Special Interest in young peo-
ple. She enjoys being around and
working with them.
Others said "it is because she
Enjoys Her Work so much." They
justified this answer by pointing
out that she was extremely hap-
py in her work and puts her school
work first. This is the secret of
her successful teaching.
All students agreed with Mr. Mc-
Leod when he said "it is the sum
total of these and many other
fine qualities that makes Miss
Leake a wonderful person and an
outstanding teacher.
At this point she was given a
tremendous standing ovation by
the student group and teachers.
Nan Webb, president of the sen-
ior class, presented Miss Leake
with a beautiful boofc of memories,'
containing letters from each senior
student and a silver carving set in
her pattern of silver.
The band played several num-
bers and the student body sang the
Song of Friendshig^and the School
Song in dedication to Miss Leake.
