Bar Harbor High School - Islander Yearbook (Bar Harbor, ME)

JIM TOMAN, serious and hard working, looks the ideal of young athletic American manhood. He has done an outstanding job in boys’ physical education; and he did all and more than was expected of him in football and basketball, considering, as everyone had fore- seen, that this had to be a build- ing year in B.H.H.S. athletics. No doubt a building year can be pretty discouraging for coach as well as players. ALBERT WEYMOUTH, frank and open of countenance, is young, enthusiastic, and sincere. He is an effective dramatics and debate coach (look at the record), and he works hard at the thankless job of teaching English. A cop in sum- mer, he doesn’t bring any observ- able authoritarian manner into the class room. But his students all do know where he stands and what he stands for. MARY JO GOGGIN of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, graduate of Boston University last year, heads the commercial department. Ur- ban, professional, personable and alert, sh? brings youthful enthus- iasm to her work and into the faculty. Miss Goggin is one of the two teachers responsible for origi- nating The Islet, our brand new school news sheet. LLOYD RHODES, coming to us last fall from the Emerson School, has taken over Driver Training in addition to his work in the junior high division. Friendly and effi- cient, with a variety of abilities, he is a good man to have around; he can always fit in to do the job no one else is currently available to do. MORRIS SOMES, hailing from Somesville originally (his name tells the story) but coming to us from Connecticut, knows modern educational theory thoroughly, is friendly, a good mixer, and a man of parts, with outside business interests for one thing and a big buck to his credit last fall for an- other. He has done a good job coaching junior high basketball. MRS. SUSAN GRAY, a very pretty woman with a soft voice and charming manners, seems al- ways to be working a miracle on the junior high boys and girls. No matter how obstreperous a young- ster may be outside, once in Mrs. Gray’s room he relaxes, puts his best foot forward, and works hard. Mrs. Gray recently received a de- gree in education from the Univer- sity of Maine. She is, by the way, mother of B.H.H.S.’s Leslie Gray, last year’s American Legion dele- gate to Boys’ State. NANCY SUYDAM, another out- of-state young woman (she comes from Winsted, Connecticut), fills the vacancy in Home Economics created by the resignation of Mrs. Woodworth. Though she has been with us only a short time, she is fitting in well, is capable and co- operative. She prepared at Nasson College. Miss Suydam shares with Miss Goggin in the good job of originating the idea for the Islet. It must mean quite a lot of work too. DOLORES AMERGIAN of Port- land, product of Westbrook Junior College and the University of Maine, is the pleasant and friendly young woman who teaches girls’ physical education and some science classes. In addition she coaches girls’ basketball and soft- ball and is doing a good job. EDWARD DeIULIO of New Bedford with a New England Con- servatory background is music supervisor of all Bar Harbor schools, directs the high school band, and as if that were not enough, has organized a variety of other groups, including a “Barber Shop Quartet” and a dance band. Smiling, terribly busy, always rushing to keep appoint- ments, enthusiastic, he is doing all right. This Ta e Sponsaret lly BEST WISHES — TESTA’S HOTEL AND RESTAURANT

PRINCIPAL HORACE CROX- FORD, sincere and honest, both with himself and others, hasn’t much use for theories, is a middle- of-the-road educator. Democratic in thought and word and deed, zealous for the welfare of young people, with great faith in them, he maintains a school with all the democracy and freedom consistent with the best interests of his boys and girls. ‘They can’t learn how to use freedom in a straight jacket,” he says; then adds, But they must learn self control and accept the responsibility of their actions. That's part of being free.” SUBMASTER CEORCE REN WICK, graying and handsome, teaches Latin and French and exudes geniality and a somewhat sceptical tolerance, speaks French with a beautiful accent and the American language with a Scotch burr in Harvard overtones. A good example himself of the value of the humanistic type of education he believes in. KENNETH MANSFIELD, forth ritht and stalwart American citi zen. with the courage of his con- victions and a trenchant utterance. Brings into the classroom the in- tangible best out of an athletic past and teaches American historv and government and what it means to be a man and an American. Ex- pects land gets! more out of his students than they think they have in them. Tends toward modernism in education: Most of our stu- dents don’t go to college. We mint do more for this big group.” LEON LEWIS, always immacu- late in appearance, urbane and tol- erant. appraises the passing scene and the foibles of his peers with an amused detachment. Teaches man- ual training and manhood, the first expertly, thoughtfully, and the second incidentally, unconsciously, without effort, merely by being his effective self. A cabinet maker of no mean qualifications, he knows the part that line and form have played in good living. MRS LIBBY, with something indefinable but characteristically American and good coming into a room with her. as if out of the more gracious past, is a Wellesley graduate, has an interest in many things, and is a purposeful teacher - • all the better as a teacher from being so fine a parent. (She has two boys and one girl through col- lege and successfully launched in life and another girl doing a good job at Maine) CLIFFORD REYNOLDS teaches college preparatory math to what probably, he says, are the best and most patient high school kids in America, and he likes both the math and the kids. He thinks Vivian Scott’s caricature of him is tops and a very good likeness, though on first glancing at the sketch, he says he wondered if Vivian hadn't traced it from a picture of the grinning skeleton” Voltaire.
