His awareness of the state and need of each student's physical condition enabled to design programs of physical fitness and exercise that would develop the athletic ntials latent in each of his students. More than most, Mr. Pomykata has worked dili- tly to develop the athletic skills of his more talented students, and this year he once in coached St. Vincent's Varsity Basketball team. His instinctive coaching ability enabled to lead the team through a great season of play. A truly engaging young man, Skip considered one of our most good-natured and able instructors. -8 . . . ,. if 5 ff 1 'l rivet -l e j gafi .xc Q-. ff f ' e,itt f' i '-P ' ' .1.,f-:: , ,. . f, 'vwii'

l :fs--J , AJ' Mr. Michael Salazar. one of our most gifted teachers, taught courses in History, Biology Civics and Current Events to St. Vincent's students this year. His unique approach to th learning experience revealed to us a new concept of scholastic endeavor. No longer wer classes mere states of boredom but opportunities for personal and intellectual growthp an intelligence, once activated, became a force that easily broke down the doors of ignoranc and energized academic status. His interest in students-apparent in his eagerness to shar his knowledge with all-and his devotion to teaching gave students an unprecedented exe ample of secular professionalism that became a source of inspiration to those he touched an inspiration that will never fade. ,N . g .- , .

f. . I f . V 399 , I 1 1 - , H '-- J- ,im ' . . 'I W This year the choir progra here at St. Vincent's was r surected due mostly to the forts of our latest faculty me ber, Mr. Steve Storc. Mu talented and very ambitious, . . 1 I sought and found within student body dormant vocal ent. He put it all together a formed a choir with great potc tial for the future. Probably most rewarding accompli ment this year was the ov whelming success of the Christmas Concert. The long dious hours of practicing, 1 night prop construction, painting, and endless w paid off well as the studen voices joined harmoniously song on the evening of Dece ber 18. If he continues to ma tain the confidence and exub ance he exhibited during . Christmas production, IN Storc will undoubtedly me great achievements in years come.
