Our Favorite Teacher The class of 1953 is proud to have chosen Russell McGaughey for its favorite teacher. His vivid examples of modern democracy in action have given us a basis upon which to build a conception of citizenship. No man can teach a subject which he does not understand and believe. Mr. McGaughey is active in community, church, and school activities. Many teachers finish their day when the last bell rings, but not the master of room 214. Many evenings he has stayed to discuss problems with troubled students. Several of our class members who suffered severe illnesses are indebted to Mr. McGaughey who visited and comforted them whenever possible. In the Senior Problems of Democracy classes, many of the achievements of Clarion State Teachers College are stressed as our favorite teacher is an avid alumnus. Normally not an outspoken man, Mr. McGaughey has often stated that he believes a college graduate should be judged on his ability and not his degrees or his Alma Mater. A man with the high ideals and the fundamental honesty of our favorite teacher will long be remembered by the students who attended his classes. —Bernard Taylor 28 The Echo

Principals Hasson S. Rockey Supervising Principal The students and faculty of Brookville High School, as well as the citizens of Brookville, need no introduction to our supervising principal, Hasson S. Rockey, for he is well-known and well-liked by all. Although he is always busily engaged in directing school affairs, Mr. Rockey always finds time to lend a helping hand to his students. His helpful advice and careful directing often led us through trying days. We will always remember you, Mr. Rockey, not only for your cooperation and kind sympathy, but for your keen sense of humor that gave all of us a new outlook on life. Lawrence B. McKnight High School Principal With the coming of a new school year came our new senior high principal, Mr. Lawrence B. McKnight. Since he arrived, early this fall, he has won the respect and the admiration of all the students. Mr. McKnight came to us from Williamsport. This, however, is not his first year as a member of the B.H.S. faculty. During the years 1941-1942 he served as coach of the basketball team. The interest he has shown in the welfare of each student has made him very popular. May your success continue, Mr. McKnight. 30 The Echo
