PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Rugged But Right” Left to Right. Miss E. McCord, Mr. N. Judd, Miss J. Davis. High on the scale of any school is its athletic department. This department is well taken care of by Miss Davis in the grade schools, and Mr. Judd and Miss McCord in the boys’ and girls’ sports respectively. The latter two select the varsity and honor teams and successfully guide them to victory. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Patience and Fortitude” The Business Department is under the efficient guidance of Mr. Halford and Mrs. Hefele. These two teachers have helped us better ourselves for our future years by teaching us shorthand, typing and business training. Mr. Halford has also been a great help to us in the guidance department. We shall never forget the tireless effort that they have given us.

ARTS’ DEPARTMENT Remember When Seated: Mrs. M. Nelson, Mrs. J. Noonan, Miss M. Failing. Standing: Mr. H. Fordham, Mr. J. Ruck-deschel. These digit-jugglers direct one of the most important courses in school, starting under the wing of Mrs. Symonds in Junior High and continuing up the scale to Mrs. Joy and finally to Miss Olson. We wish to extend our appreciation to these teachers who have trained us so well that some day we may be able to figure out our income tax. Will we ever forget the thrill of having a picture hung for exhibition; of blowing the first few notes,on a clarinet; of seeing Dad proudly show off our first book ends; of seeing Mom’s incredulous look as she tasted our pie crust? No, we’ll never forget. Our unlimited thanks go to the teachers who helped us achieve those successes. Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Noonan, Miss Failing, Mr. Fordham and Mr. Ruckdeschel. MATHEMATICS’ DEPARTMENT I’ve Got Your Number” Left to Right: Mrs. J. Symonds, Miss G. Olson, Mrs. E. Joy.

LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT You Don’t Hare to Know the Language” Spanish, french, and Latin are the three languages that E. R. H. S. offers students. The masters of these languages. Miss Lillian Tobin and Mrs. Dorothy Meske, do much to make the romance languages interesting by providing classes and club meetings with much laughter, along with hard work. No! That's not the “Mad Scientist” and his two merry assistants. It’s Mr. Hermanson, better known as Herm, East Rockaway’s physics-chemistry teacher. Miss Myers, the school nurse, and Mr. Aschoff, the school biologist. This threesome make up our Science Department and can answer questions involving anything from halitosis to malatosis. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT It Ain’t Necessarily So’’ Left to Right: Mr. E. Aschoff, Mr. R. Hermanson, Miss D. Mvers. i a mu man
