by their snappily dressed teacher. Mr. Freeman's lectures on economics bordered slightly on the esoteric side. Mr. Koehler sang bass in the A Cappella choir when he wasn't flourishing his baton, and study hall students saw slides of Mr. Edgar's travels as homework was put aside. Disproving the hypothesis that a teacher's life ends with the ringing of the 2:15 bell, it has been proved that Great Neck educators possess surprising amounts of surplus energy for outside pursuits . . . Mr. Hayden, steel-nerved Drivers’ Ed. instructor, is also head of the Civil Defense Wardens in Oyster Bay Township and Assistant Cubmaster of Pack No. 469 in Westbury . . . Mr. Durfee came to Great Neck High School fresh out of Harvard Graduate School of Educa- tion and has been busy practicing all of the modern theories of teaching on unsuspecting stu- dents . . . Mrs. Davis recently acquired two Java Temple birds . . . It’s his enjoyment of reading that keeps Mr. Maier GOing . . . Mrs. Thompson is fond of hiking and walks at least 1 Vi miles a day . . . Last year Mr. Carpenter was Director of Guidance in Gouverneur (the largest cen- tralized school district in New York, covering about 400 square miles) . . . Miss Crandall sings in the choir of All Saints Church . . . Mr. Laise performed a mercy killing on a sick rabbit . . . Miss Williams was formerly Dean of Women at You've gotta' have heart! Albright College, Reading, Pa. . . . Mrs. Bates finds that after taking care of a home, a hus- band and a son, she hasn't much time to read, sew or write . . . Mr. Booke develops his in- terest in photography in spare moments away from Arista . . . Within two days' time, Mr. Fields was blessed with the arrival of a second daugh- ter and suffered minor fractures which developed from a collision with a skidding truck, the fol- lowing morning . . . Among Mrs. Reading's pastimes are rescuing stray cats, Shakespeare, and playing LP records . . . Miss Vroman taught library science at State Teachers' College, Tren- ton, last year . . . Mr. Eck attended the Tri-State Conference on Physical Fitness during the year . . . Mr. Fabrick braved severe cold to take part in an authentic sugaring-off for the movie Vermont, the Year Round which he is in the process of filming at the present time . . . Mr. Proctor won a golf tournament in Colebrook, New Hampshire . . . Mr. Fontanella's moving to Great Neck has changed his extra-curricular ac- tivities to painting, papering and renovating . . . Miss Edholm once had a pet sloth ... In her little red MG, Mrs. Ward maneuvered between larger vehicles to successfully weave her way to school during even the most violent snow storms. (There is doubt in the minds of many as to whether the size of her car proved to be a bless- ing or ...)... It took a full week for Mr. Boressoff to fully recuperate from a mild case of nervous disorder brought about by a lone at- tack of measles which disrupted the entire cast of his spring play . . . More supple members of the faculty displayed their athletic prowess as they trounced Hi-Y boys, 35-33, in their annual rally. The faculty also managed to maintain their lead in the Junior-Senior volleyball league, with a record of twelve victories and only three de- feats . . . This year, Mr. Noyes found himself to be the proud possessor of one waltzing mouse . . . Mr. Nagell, as Senior Class sponsor, was sent into the heart of the deep South (on Senior Prom eve) to recover from the shock of HMS '56. Some say that at times he may still be observed, sitting in his grandmother's old rocking chair, basking in the heat of the Dixie sun and pen- sively sipping on a mint julep . . . . . . Let it be said in conclusion—to each his own! 12
