9 MR. ASCHOFF—The world of “little friend amoeba” was introduced to us by Mr. Aschoff. We shall remember his subtle sense of humor, his twinkling blue eyes and his emphatic snap of the ruler. MR. BERG—“Ok folks; let’s check out the next item on the agenda.” No history student could forget those words! Famous for his early morning jokes, Mr. Berg strived to make us clear-thinking citizens of a free society. MR. CROWLEY — The varsity bowlers acquired another coach with the coming of Mr. Crowley. Teaching the intracacics of math and English to the junior high is his official duty. MISS DECKER—a'-+b2=c2. Chalk one up for our Math coach! Miss Decker implants in our minds the teaching of her thirteen mathematical men, commands the chalk army, and is the person to whom the success of Rock Rivalry is owed. MR. FAULKNER — Mr. Faulkner always found in the gym foyer selling the stylish boys’ athletic attire, is a teacher extraordinaire. Through his efforts his gentlemen in orange and black are known as athletes and sportsman throughout the league. MR. FORDHAM—We will long remember those sleepy, early morning, and late evening rehearsals. No matter what the obstacles were, Mr. Fordham and his chorus always managed to produce a top notch show.

EAST ROCKAWAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS EAST ROCKAWAY, N. Y. HAROLD F. STUDWELL Superintendent NEVIN L. JUDD Principal-Elementary Schools HENRY H. BORMANN Principal-High School Dear Seniors, Now that you are about to separate from your friends here at school, you can understand better what Shakespeare meant when he wrote, Parting is such sweet sorrow. You are drawn closer to your friends; they mean more to you. So many thoughts of them are suddenly brought together in your mind that you would need Shakespeare's talent to express them all. You feel the joy of friendship and the sadness of parting — at the same moment. Your teachers and I are also feeling that sweet sorrow. We do not like to see you go because we have many colorful memories of you — happy, hectic, sometimes troubled, but finally triumphant. We would gladly express our many kindly thoughts toward you, but we also would need Shakespeare's genius to do them justice. We hope that our friendships with you will deepen as the years pass. It will always be a pleasure to help you in any way that we can. Your successes will continue to make us happy, especially when we can feel that we had a part, however small, in preparing you for them. We believe in you. We do not expect you to escape cares and problems in the years ahead. We only hope that you will have the wisdom and courage to deal witii them. May God bless each one of you. Sincerely your friend. KHB ms Henry H. Bormann Principal

 1R. HALFORD — Our college days will he made more enjoyable by the informative “help” classes of Mr. Halford. Juggling our programs and advising us on academic problems keeps our guidance counselor busy. MRS. HEFELE — Cries of “Right straight away!” can be heard coming from the shorthand room each day as Mrs. Hefele produces secretaries by the dozen. MR. HEN RICH—As advocate of frequent “snap” testing (“The quiz will cover your questions.”), Mr. Henrich has given us a sound college course in the higher sciences. It is a “pity” we are leaving our “Ace”. MISS HICKMAN—The efficiency of the library stems from the efforts of Miss Hickman and her corps of junior librarians. She has been an invaluable assistant to the writing of our senior papers. MISS HOL I ON—Spanish classes invariably begin with the famous cry “Las victimas . . .” Miss Holton, the master of many tongues, ably prepares her students for the regents. MRS. HOPPEN—The “Betty Crocker” of East Rockaway has done a great deal to mold us into the homemakers and seamstresses of tomorrow. F A C u L T Y 13
