Faculty Providing instruction and counseling, the faculty of Pacific High School is made up of a variety of personalities. Having one thing in common — the dedication to learning — the faculty has grown from forty-two to 105 in the past eight years. Of the first faculty, twenty-four are still part of Pacific. Since the first year, 1953, new faces have come and familiar faces have gone. Each left a part of himself to Pacific ' s strong unity. This year thirteen instructors found their places at Pacific; each added his own quali- ties and talents. Our faculty represents 1185 teaching years, 470 taught at Pacific. From the twenty-four founding members, to the 105 today, Pacific has embodied a faculty, well-.seasoned by time and experi- ence. 1953: 24 out of 42 remain loyal Pacific High remained proud of its 24, out of the original 42, faculty members who have been at Pacific since its founding in 1953. These teachers have accumulated over 244,160 hours of teaching in their class- rooms. Of these eight-year veterans, six of them are counselors. Together they have over 1,200 students who may have gone to them for counseling. Howard Betts Howard Betts graduated from the Univer- sity of California with a bachelor of sciences degree. He is known around the campus for being the head of the agriculture department. Besides teaching agriculture, Mr. Betts was the sponsor of the Future Farmers of America and the Cadet Corps. Al Bone Al Bone was known around campus as the corsage provider, and was one of Pacific ' s unsung heroes. He always seemed to come through with flowers for special events to save Pirate pocketbooks at the last minute. Mr. Bone has a bachelor ' s degree in agriculture and sponsors the FFA. He has been presented with a life-membership in the PTA and was Teacher of the Year in 1960. Qulncy Brown Head of our business department this year was Quincy Brown.

There were many different departments of the secretarial staff which inckided the financial department, attendance depart- ment, the recorder, and the .secretaries to the principal and vice principals. The cafeteria ladies prepared and served over one hundred and eighty-five noon meals this year, plus special banquets, morning club breakfasts, and extra meals for the faculty members. Pacific ' s sixteen custodians not only re- mained consistent to their janitorial jobs, but they were often called to do odd jobs above and beyond the call of duty. Included in the daily routine of the busy custodian were occasional tasks of herding stray cows back to the agricultural depart- ment, using a hose to flush out horns for the music department, and digging worms for the biology classes.
