Faculty Godfrey-Logan She Dares To Discipline Oneonta City School is a sctiool run to benefit tlie students. It is organized in such a way as to give the most social and academic advantages to as many students as possible. Much of the credit for this superior method of operating a school goes to Mrs. Ruby O ' Shields, assistant princi- pal. Discipline is a major factor in deter- mining the quality of a school, and be- cause of Mrs. O ' Shields ' s desire for Oneonta to be an excellent school sys- tem, she has acquired a tough reputa- tion, which enables her to have the respect of the students as well as the teachers. Although Mrs. O ' Shields may have a reputation for being strict, anyone who has been around her will tell you that she is fair, knowledgeable, sensible, and understanding when dealing with the problems of this school. Mrs. O ' Shields is proud of Oneonta. She feels the academic program com- pares very favorably with other schools and that the teachers and students strive for excellence in athletics and music as well as academics. ON A COLD winter day, Mrs. O ' Shields enjoys sen ing hot tea to visitors. RELAXING WITH A good bool is a favorite pastime of Mrs. O ' Shields. She especially enjoys historical fiction, biographies, and travel books. Donna Godfrey, Math; B S Linda Head, 6th Grade; MA Catherine J. Howard, Special Education.

Faculty Daily-Gibbons New Faces On The Force Joining our fine force of teachers this year were three new faculty members: Coach Blake, Mr. Deloney, and Miss Snead. Coach Blake, probably the most well known of the three due to his position as assistant coach and success in making speeches at the pep rallies, was attracted to Oneonta because of Coach O ' Sheild ' s well known coaching record. He felt that there was no one whom he could learn more from than the famous O ' Sheilds. Mr. Deloney has joined forces with Mrs. Veal in teaching gifted students. He feels the gifted students need and can benefit from additional attention. Mr. Deloney enjoys being a part of the Oneonta faculty. He feels that they work well together. Miss Snead came to Oneonta be- cause of her desire to teach and spend time with kindergarten children. She gets alot of satisfaction out of watch- ing the children grow and develop. All three of our new faculty members find the atmosphere at Oneonta a very pleasant one. They credit this to the school building, the teachers, and es- pecially the students. CROWD PLEASER Coach Blake, who puts much work and dedication into giving speeches at pep rallies, flashes the crowd his appealing smile. DURING HIS PREPARATION P ERIOD, Mr his classes.
