Faculty Interests There is a persistent rumor that teachers are people. Confirmation of this report has been found in the out- of-school activities which reveal per- sonality traits not always apparent in the classroom. For one, fishing may an- swer the need for relaxation. Others try editing photographs, sailing, garden- ing, dancing, camping, sports announc- ing, bowling, and traveling. View Pointe brings photographic evidence of these varied interests, evidence of the com- plexity in the pedagogic personality. Dr. J. W. Bushong, superintendent of Grosse Pointe Schools, on his trip to Russia discussed foreign language instruction with an English teacher in Pushkin Board- ing School, Pushkin, U.S.S.R. Mr. Jerry Gerich, principal of Grosse Pointe High, meticulously cares for his lawn in the same manner he settles problems at school. Mr. Donald Campbell, assistant prin- cipal enjoys dancing with Mrs. Harry Lipski at the senior night event.

FROM EIGHT TO THREE Remember the anxiety of Homecoming, the first report card, rushing to and from class, our exchange students and the changes in school policy. All these things are a part of Grosse Pointe High School. This year View Pointe has endeavored through pictures and text to recall the past years ' highlights, and present as many students and faculty members as possible. We hope, as students, you will be proud of View Pointe and will as our theme states Look beneath the surface. We have tried to depict the true and intimate high school picture, and to serve both the school and the community of which it is a part. 1961-1962 will hold many memories for Grosse Pointe High students. For the View Pointe staff it has been a hectic year; rushing to meet deadlines, writing copy and taking pictures. With this all behind them, the staff is from left to right: Jim Todd, Jon Gandelot, Bill Babbage, Fred Steinheiser, Ned Bunn, John Randall, Pat Hawkins-editor, Dorothy Seegers, Duane Engstrom, Sherry Bockstanz, Lassie Covault, Dana Harlan, Miss Griffiths-advisor and Rial Hamann.
