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

 GALLIA EST OMNIS DIVISA ... Mrs. Marion Williamson assumes typical pose at head of her Latin classes. Mrs. Williamson, who teaches both junior and senior high school Latin, heads our classical language department. She graduated from Colby College in Maine and later received her masters degree from New York University. She is noted for the assignment of Latin projects, her selection of the top three Latin scholars for the Baird Memorial test in New York, and her outstanding guidance of the Latin Club. Students of her courses in Latin will long remember her insistence on meticulous scholarship and her willingness to help any interested students after hours. That enrollment in Latin courses at GCS reverses the national trend and is on the increase is proof of her popularity and effectiveness. 16
