GOSHEN Cl ©DRIVER E P a£zm Shame on you, Mr, Dunn! Isn't that the wrong door? Ten points off! DRJVER, EDUCATION STUDENTS WTTTRE ROAD The Driver Education Program is still one of the most popular courses offered at Goshen Central School under the capable direction of our popular Mr. Theodore Dunn, who is also assistant football coach. Students who survive Mr. Dunn's points off for the slightest mistakes while driving, his assignments (done if it behooves them), and his quietly intoned Pull up on that car, found themselves capable of passing the New York State operator's test, better and safer drivers and eligible for reduced insurance premiums. Although the road work was the same as ever, the class met every Wednesday eighth period in the library for the television portion of the course broadcast from Albany. Mr. Dunn received his Bachelor of Science degree from Ithaca College and his Masters at Columbia University. 20

The perturbable Mr. John McCreight is another one of our brief-case toting chemistry and general science teachers. Mr. McCreight has had an extensive education, having received his BS from Lock Haven, his MS from Syracuse University and having done graduate work at Alfred University, RPI, and the University of New Hampshire. The affable Mr. Richard Loffredo teaches general science as well as health. He received his BS at Brock-port and his MA at Columbia University. Humorous and well-liked, Mr. Loffredo will be remembered for his endless book lists, science weekly-readers, and annual animal raising projects. The junior high is fortunate to have two excellent general science teachers. Mr. Bruce Cullen received his BS and MS at New Paltz State Teachers College. His humor and his fine instruction make him a favorite at Goshen. Mr. Eric Windus, who also received his BS from New Paltz, forms the other half of the junior high general science department. Quiet and reserved, Mr. Windus is very well-liked. Courses in physics are not being offered this school year to allow the shift to physics as a senior year subject when students taking physics will have covered more math. Hence, this year both juniors and seniors are studying chemistry and both Mr. Chakoumakos and Mr. McCreight are teaching it. Next year chemistry will be primarily a junior subject and physics a senior subject. Success! Mr. Osgood appears to be invisible between delighted colleagues at conclusion of successful experiment.

The Clerical Practice class will always remember Mrs. Gates, rushing around, trying to get jobs done on time. Mr. Elia teaches Bookkeeping, Typing, and Salesmanship and Business Management. His endless supply of timed typings challenge pupils in his classes to battle for accuracy and speed as he implores them to Relax. Eyes on copy. Nor can bookkeeping students forget his entreaties for nearness, neatness, nearness. Mrs. Gates and Mr. Elia are both well known to us for their patience and helpfulness in teaching us the finer arts of the business world. 21
