A subtle newness characterized the Am-bridge Faculty this year. Of the 88 teachers on the school payroll, 20 were new this year. Coming to Amhridge from many different school systems, they brought new ideas and new methods to complement the established techniques in each department. In addition to their jobs as instructors, teachers engaged in many other activities among themselves and with students. Wednesday evenings, teachers competed in their own bowling league. They again sponsored Christmas and spring dinners. Many teachers donated their spare time to sponsor student organizations, publications, and activities. On March 17, twelve male members of the faculty topped the intramural champion Houston Cougars in a charity basketball game to raise money for a memorial to the late principal, Mr. Hlista. Faculty members also worked after school as coaches for Ambridge’s athletic teams.
