Never idle during school time, (or over the weekend when he ' s racing his cars) Mr. Chelbana, who is assisting Ken Violette in some minor engine repairs, idolized John Kennedy when he (Mr. C.) was in high school right here at MVHS. We ' ve heard that her idol is now Kermit the Frog, so Mrs. Schumick can ' t be licking her lips in fear of the thing on her shoulder. In her teen years, she thought frequently of Elvis!

Teachers didn ' t mind dating themselves by declaring their teen idols. The more frequently mentioned names included: James Dean, the Beatles, and Chuck Berry. Ah, yes, teachers were once people too, young people even. They had pin-ups on their bedroom walls, records filled their rooms (not tapes), and there were favorite films that they would see as often as they could. As the years passed, the future teachers grew up and idols became (for the most part) highly admired achievers. Mr. Trotter still admires his idol from high school days, Pete Rose. For Mrs. Gradilla. the Beach Boys were replaced with Vicente Fernandez (a popular Spanish singer). Unfortunately, Mrs. Cunningham can ' t remember that far back! Mr. Price doesn ' t have an idol these days, but in the good old days he admired Vince Lombardi. Always a strongly conservative per- son, Mr. Miller idolized Barry Goldwater during his teen years. Caesar Romero and Lash LaRue were favorites of business teach- er, Ms. Mary Keaton. As a teen, Mrs. Gong stongly admired John F. Kennedy. Seeing Troy Donahue caused Mrs. Winner ' s heart to race. And Mrs. Stone was finally able to get over the Beach Boys when she replaced them with . . . Don Johnson! I hese leaders of future great men and women encourage their charges to idolize highly self motivated and well disciplined leaders John Lennon ivjsMrs. Wilson ' s idol, but have you ever heard of Jacob Bernowsky? Mrs. Wettlaufer idolized him even though he was dead by the time she was In high school (He had worked to develop the atomic bomb, and then gave it up and became a noted humanitarian.) Fracchia 1 H,
