Unusual Trips, jobs and Hobbies Occupy Faculty Af 'V 3 f' , 1 if if 3 P. E. instructor, Jack Segurson, who toured Pakistan and India this summer, is shown on the road to a mountain village. l Mr. Richard Sclzmeider, whose bridge rating is national master, dis- plays just the trophies he and his wife have won this year. Catalina faculty members lead interesting lives outside of school as evidenced by their trips, summer jobs and hobbies. American problems teachers Miss Maude Miller and Miss Nona Korfhage visited Russia and north- western European countries last summer while a trip to Japan interested business teacher H. G. Tyler. jack Segurson, P. E. teacher, also went abroad but spent most of his vacation in India and Pakistan taking slides. Mrs. Dathel Lackey, English teacher, has been busy learning about the customs of New Zealand which she plans to visit this summer. In America, the Seattle, Washington World's Fair attracted six faculty members. Twelve others traveled east. Roughing it appealed to I. Lawrence Dunlap, science and math teacher, who camped across the country on a trip from Boston to Tucson. Some teachers continued to teach during the summer. Photography instructor Robert Dawson taught photography at the student Publications Work- shop in Flagstaff, Arizona. Outdoor work beckoned some teachers last sum- mer. Geography instructor Richard Schmieder was a life guard, and P.E. teacher Cliff Myrick worked as a park ranger in Glacier National Park, Montana. Gardening is the most popular pastime of faculty members according to a questionnaire survey. Miss Elizabeth Frantz, biology teacher, raises camellias, while Gale Bell, also a biology teacher, preserves his plants. Photography and travel run close seconds in pop- ularity with golf, hunting and fishing the most pop- ular sporting hobbies. Principal Rollin T. Gridley even ties his own trout flies for fishing excursions. Math teacher Dured Gordon has the exciting hob- by of flying airplanes. Equally thrilling are P.E. teacher Preston Rittenhouse's favorite pastimes of skiing and skindiving. Head librarian Mrs. Emily Griggs enjoys working with foreign students and Indians while driving in- structor Clyde Phillips likes to work on his 1930 Model A Ford. The rather unusual hobby of exploring old ghost towns occupies English teacher Mrs. Evelyn Over- peck. Being one of the top score players of the Amer- ican Contract Bridge League, Mr. Schmieder has re- ceived trophies for his hobby. Many CHS faculty members spend after-school hours coaching teams, chaperoning dances and col- lecting game tickets, thus showing that many of their interests lie in the CHS campus.

Student-Praising Faculty Has Own Honors Cited Proud teachers of honored students beam in the background and seldom receive much notice of their personal accomplishments.

Yearbook adviser and graphic arts teacher William Mitchell received the International Graphic Arts Edu- cation Association's medal last year for outstanding accomplishments in the field. Summer studying for counselors David Fithian and Chester Parks included the Counseling and Guidance Institute at the University of Arizona. Teachers are still most proud to turn the spotlight on their students, achievements as shown by Carlyle VVebb, band and orchestra director, who says his award is the superior-rated CHS band, and Preston Rittenhouse of the P.E. Department, who prides him- self on the CHS state champion gymnastics team he coaches. Collecting first-edition books for her personal library is a favorite hobby of Miss Laura Wade, senior English teacher. QATAUN-A HIGH scruooi LIBRARY
