William Loercher. who
teaches Physics and Chem:
istry at Donegal High
School. does not believe
there 1s one best method of
teaching for every individua!
student. He says, “The
purpose of our educationa!
svstem is to produce an
educated individual who will
be a benefit to our society.
Since each person is a
complex individual influ
enced by many factors such
as heredity, parental atti-
tudes, peer presure, televi-
sion, community value
structures, and others, it is
difficult to determine what
affects each individual’s
desire and ability to learn.”’
As much as he 1s able.
Mr. Locrcher. tries to adapt
his teaching method 0 the
needs of cach student.
Judging from comments
made by former students.
Mi. Locrcher succeeded in
bringing out the best in
them. Many whose interest
in science was first aroused
by him have gone on to
maior in physics or chemist-
rv in college. and some have
gone on to graduate school.
They keep in touch with Mr.
Locrcher, and all express
their gtatitude for getting
them started in science.

Being an advisor for these
winning science projects has
required “Mr. Locercher to
put in many additional hours
after regular school hours,
helping and advising the
students, but, says Loerch-
cr. Its a great satisfaction
to sce these students win
recognition for their work.”
About students today
Locrcher has thas to sav, *'l
have found that students in
December 12, 1979
our schools today are
generally more informed
about their environment and
seem to be more disciplined
than previous generations.
“The teachers in our
schools are more conscienti-
ous, generally work longer
hours, are more educated,
and care more for the young
people. 1 feel like an ally in
learning, rather than an
authoritarian figure who will
rap a student's knuckles
with a ruler if he doesn’t use
a centigram balance correct-
iv."
Loercher says this about
his profession: ‘I feel that
teaching young people con-
tributes more to society, is
more challenging, requires
greater human understand-
ing, and, above all, is more
rewarding in a non-monceta-
ry way than any other
carcer. I am willing to make
the financial sacrifice and
put up with the criticisms of
the uninformed public in
order to sce the voung
minds develop, and to enjoy
the enthusiasm and honesty
of our country’s greatest
resource. its voung people.”
Mr. Locrcher is especially
happy to be a teacher at
Donegal. “We have an
administration that supports
the teaching staff and is
concerned about the needs
of our students. The faculty
is made up of truly gified
imdividuals who care about
our students a-
chicve. The school board

cducational process in a
conservative manner. The
student body is interesting
and challenging. The com
