Mr. Thomas Johnson, the junior English teacher and indispensable yearbook advisor, received his BA from Middlebury College and his MA from Columbia University. His favorite lines will be remembered by all students. 100 or nothing; Unity, coherence, and emphasis; Don't forget to put your John Henry's on those; This last set of papers achieved a high degree of mediocrity. The research paper, oral readings, precis and reaction papers made the homework interesting. Mr. Frank Wehmann, the senior English teacher and head of the department, graduated from Wittenburg with a BA and from Columbia with an MA. An excursion of juniors and seniors went to see Macbeth at Stratford, Conn., after reading it in class. The students well remember his putting his glasses on and off, discussions of Henry Miller, the interpretation of modern art. and his repeating that he had thought the honor homeroom would be easy. Mr. Joseph Roesch joined the English department as a senior and sophomore teacher. He is an AB graduate of Holy Cross and has an MA from Boston College.

MarwEmtce FOR-THE MILLIONS The math department has, in its customary way, gone through another year of doing an excellent job explaining the abstract to the concrete. We have its well-qualified members to thank for this. Besides teaching intermediate algebra and math 12, Mr. Evan Littlefield, the head of the math department, is still experimenting, this year with a math 8 class and a new statistics course. We'll remember his vain attempts to close the door of his room in the new wing, his complaints that the seniors aren’t spending enough time on math, and his continual praise of the new math 8 textbook. Mr. Littlefield is a Middlebury man with a masters degree from Harvard. The Pat Boone of GCS, Mr. Donald Lyons, who earned his BS from New Paltz and his MA from Union, teaches math 10, math 11, elementary algebra and trigonometry-solid geometry. We’ll remember how he answered ”Yeeesss to any request for explanation of a difficult problem. Mr. John Krupka, who graduated from Bucknell University, is the GCS math teacher with the cynical smile and clip-on bow ties. He teaches math 10, math 9, general math 9 and math 7. Mrs. Claire Coon, our devoted woman math teacher with the ponderous briefcase, is a graduate of Syracuse University. She teaches math 8, intermediate algebra, math 9, business math, and general math 10. Mr. Roy Baldwin, who is still a baseball coach extraordinary at GCS, teaches two math 8 classes and one seventh grade math while the other junior high math teacher, Mrs. Carol Diamond, like Mrs. Coon, is often seen trying to transport her unwieldy briefcase down the hall to any one of her two eighth grade classes and three seventh grade math classes. Both Mr. Baldwin and Mrs. Diamond are graduates of New Paltz and Mr. Baldwin has a masters degree from Columbia. 15
