MEMORIALS Last June, former mathematics teacher Mr. Anthony Toporas passed away Mr. T .” as he was fondly called, was an educator throughout his entire life His wife died in the early 1970's; and Mr. T. taught his three daughters Elainey, Elizabeth, and Joantha — to be compassionate and confident in their abilities His daughters were inspired by his drive to learn as much as possible: Elainey became a physical education teacher, and Elizabeth attended Rochester Institute of Tech nology and Cornell University. Mr Toporas worked at Turbodyne for several years before coming to R.C.S. in 1967. Throughout the years, he patiently worked with students on their math skills. He also was a class advisor and assisted four superintendents. Though Mr T had officially retired from the teaching profession, he never retired as a teacher. He was teaching remedial math at Scio Central School at the time of his death. Students and staff members will always remember Mr. T.'s whistling in the hall and his favorite saying: Scooby-Dooby- Doo. In the morning he would an- nounce that day's menu as The Hillbottom Cuisine ; in the afternoon, he would sing on the p.a. system, The buses are leaving. Goodby; goodbye. The buses are leaving, let's fly; let's fly! Those who worked with Mr Toporas will always be grateful for the effect he had on their educatinal growth and on their lives. MR.
