If removed from the classroom, she would most logically be found working over a hot ,stove participating in her hobby of cooking I Qq GAILEN THORNTON The geometric drawings found on the chalkboords of Mr. Thornton's room may in fact be necessary for the instruction of his geometry classes, and then on the other hand, may very likely be a part of the BATTLE PLANS for this Friday's foot- ball game.

WAYNE SHOOKS Various areas of our school have their own destlnctive smells. At times It is the smell of sweat socks from the gym, ink solvents from graphics, and occasionally the good smells of things-a-cookin in home economics class. On those occa- sions however, that the halls are filled with the destinctive aroma of for- maldehyde, it is a sure sign that Dr. Shooks has his class disecting again. When not providing instruction for his biology or anatomy classes, Dr. Shooks enjoys fishing, hunting, and keeping track of his daughter, Marcy. q TOM ZIELASKOWSKI If you find yourself ln search of a Freshman CWhy would anyone want to do that?D the most logical place to seek them out would be in one of Mr. Z's many academic science classes. The lab tables of room 132 are filled with the scientest of the future who are now preparing themselves, under the able tutorage of Mr.Z, for the science cur- riculum of their remaining high school years. When not found in the science department, Mr. Z is either coaching or fishina at the qreat Fletcher's Pond sciENcE DEPARTMENT MARK SERVIS The DeWitt High School instructor recognized as the teacher that can be counted on to go the extra mile is Mr. Servls.

ART DEPARTM PHYSICAL EDUCATION SONJA CORN ELL DeWitt High School is, indeed, fortunate to have someone like Mrs. Cornell to add a sense of beauty to an otherwise bleak and drab atmosphere. Her talent in the arts is frequently expressed, through her students, to add class and pizazz to a number of efforts and pro- jects of the student body. MIKE KEEVAN C Mr. Keevan's greatest contribution to the P.E. department is made in the teaching of swimming, life saving, and in the exercise of his responsibilities of pool management. lf Mr. Keevan can not be located in our pool, one should look toward the waters of the eauator. DEBORAH BOYD-HANCOCK In addition to the instructlon of numerous physical education classes, Ms. Boyd makes avaliable to DeWitt High School students an excellent class of Health Education. When not actively involved in those pursuits, Ms. Boyd en- ioys her husband, doa, 6 her hobbies. 67
