Not only have our teachers continued to learn, but also they have continued to serve in the community, travel through our country, and join professional committees and organizations. So, our teachers continued to learn. Mrs. Bellinger, Mrs. Fletcher, Miss Lingle and Mrs. Richards took a course from Syracuse University. Miss Lingle completed courses at Penn. State University and Mrs. Bellinger completed another course at William Smith. Mr. Mastroleo studied at the University of Louisville and 'at Hobart College. Mr. McGowan and Mrs. Kimpland studied at the University of Rochester. Mr. Vanderburg took a Driver Education Course at Oswego State Teachers' College, while Mr. Cooper studied at Brockport. Some members of our faculty received first hand information on important places in the United States. Mr. King traveled through ten states in New England and along the Eastern seaboard. The Hungerfords traveled through New England to Quebec. Mr. Vanderburg visited the Saint Lawrence Seaway Project, and Mr. Meneely took a trip to Maryland. Besides studying, traveling, and teaching, our faculty members somehow found time to belong to professional and fraternal organizations, taking an active part in the Wayne County and New York State Teachers' Associations. They serve on various school committees such as the Assembly, Ethics, Merit, and Faculty Advisory Committees. They are ac- tive in organizations such as the Rotary, Swing Choir, Sodus Recreation Association, Sodus Faculty Club, and various church groups. Thus, our teachers lead well-rounded lives. They are examples of the motto of New York State University: Let each become all he is capable of being.

GRADE FACULTY The Grade teachers have not only to teach their pupils the three R's, but also to guide them and channel their thoughts in the right directions so that, as they are very young, they will develop an interest in knowledge and be eager to learn new things. A teacher does this in many ways. First of all, he must continue learning himself. He attends summer school at the college of his choice. He may take extension courses which are offered during the year. A teacher must constantly set a good example. He does this by being a leader and taking charge of various committees. In our school, we have much evidence of this. The Grade Student Council has set up Advisory Committees which are headed by two to four teachers who advise a committee composed of one student from each room. Here, students and teachers work together to improve the atmosphere of the school. Our teachers also serve by working with Girl and Boy Scout Troops. A grade teacher must interest his students in their work. In grade school, a child must explore many different fields of learning to find his special talents. He must have a well-rounded background so that he will be able to pursue in- telligently his specific abilities in high school. It is the high school student who finds that much of his academic ideas, economic stability, and social concepts can be traced to the things presented to him in elementary school by his grade teachers.
