Page Fourteen FACULTY Meet the Hyde Park High School faculty! They are the pedagogues who are to be praised for the fine scholastic showing of Hyde Park students. lt is through their hard and tedious work that Hyde Parkers are able to master the numerous subjects. Hyde Parkers know that their instructors are worthy of all praise for excellent educational work. Many teachers are not satisfied with only instructing their regular classes but take on the added task of sponsoring honor classes. Through these classes students desiring to do advanced study in a subject receive the oppor- tunity. The Aitchpe publications, entertainment groups, and clubs all find willing and able co- operation from the faculty. The energy, time, and effort spent by the teachers in making these extra-curricular groups successful is valued by all the students. Many readers will receive the impression that these instructors are a bunch of absent-minded stuffed shirts. That opinion is entirely wrong. One can determine the stuffiness of our instruc- tors by their performances in the annual Fac- ulty l:'unnies, where the teachers go to town for a fun filled hour of entertainment to raise money for the Soap and Towel Fund. And be- lieve it or not, those pedagogues are good entertainers! The teachers always remain friends with their students, even after graduation. Proud in- deed are the teachers of their students! And equally proud are the students of their teacher friends.

OUR PRINCIPAL MR.1osEPH F. GONNELLY Have you ever been in a city, town, hamlet, or village which did not boast at least one Hoosier? Does lndiana rear her young 'uns only to have them flee from her confines? This l am sure must be the case because here at Hyde Park we have rnany runaway Hoosiers, chief of whom is Mr. loseph F. Gonnelly. Mr. Gonnelly, as all you brilliant Hyde Parkers know, is our distin- guished principal. From his sanctuary in the North Office he gives the orders which make the wheels of Hyde Park go 'round. Day in and day out, year after year, for eight long years he has guided the destiny of Hyde Park. He has seen students, good, bad and indifferent, come and go. He has learned some facts of their lives, but does the average Hyde Parker know anything about his principal? Nol Little do they know that while yet a young pedagogue he left his native state, bent on conquering the world of teaching. Yes, it is amazing what little knowledge students have about the man who shapes their school ca- reers. But, it they do not know any- thing of his personal history, they are proud of the excellent record he has made here. Page Flfteew
