The Art Department at the high school has always been a solid department. Mr. McGoff worked at one time for General Electric as an industrial designer and then went on to design clocks for Westclock. Mr. McGoff enjoys skiing and boating and is a member of the Audobon Society. Mr. Rutledge has worked as a photographic reporter for The New Haven Register and The Patriot Ledger. Other than photography, Mr. Rutledge enjoys listening to music, and going to the movies. Mrs. Stoddard is a profes¬ sional calligrapher for memorials, books, churches, and synagogues.

Mrs. Gloria Niese, Mr. Donald Sullivan, and Robert Davis have all worked together to provide a program which ap¬ peals to performers and non-performers alike. Next year the head of the Music Department, Mr. Sullivan will be retiring, but Mrs. Niese, who splits her time between the High School and Jr. High, will become a full time faculty member at the High School. Mr. Sullivan has made three con¬ cert tours throughout Europe, both as a per¬ former and director, while Mr. Davis was a member of the Houston Texas Orchestra and performed with the Chateaudeville Orchestra. Although music is the major focus of their lives, the members of the Music Department have many other interests. “The Music Family” (Jenny Ratcliff, Mr. Sullivan, Linda Rudd, Katy Tutyeschaevers) 60

Because of Prop 2V2, their have been no new course offerings and due to declining enrollment have had to delete Astronomy and Agricultural Science, which were both one semester courses. Under the leadership of Mr. Lydon, the department goals are to prepare students for Biology in the college level, make students more aware of the. Biological Sciences in their lives, and to give students the opportunity to work like scientists. While one teacher, Mr. Howard, was lost due to retirement, their was one teacher added. Mrs. Hoult, a graduate of Wellesley College, teaches sophomore Biology at all three levels, and currently has two daughters Laura and Molly enrolled at the high school. We, the entire Yearbook staff would like to congratulate Mrs. Hallowell on the birth of her new baby. 59 “Mrs Haul

Every sophomore that enters the high school must pass one semester of Health. There is only one full time and one part time teacher for this large group of students. The two teachers are Mrs. McCaskill and Robert Burke A.T.C. Mrs. McCaskill has been here for 7 years as the only full time Health Teacher. Mrs. McCaskill is a graduate of Nursing from Meharry Medical College in Nashville TN. Mr. Burke A.T.C., who teaches health part-time can be seen at just about all sporting events as the athletic trainer. One of the few departments in which all students must participate is that of Physical Education. Twice a week (arid sometimes more) each of the 1,200 students must participate in the joys of Physical Education. Who is responsi¬ ble for this fun and good health? Our illustrious physical education staff. Known to us as only incredible physical specimen, most people fail to realize the many unique and interesting activities in which our athletic leaders participate. Mr. Mastro has been reported to spend a lot of his time in the woods. Perhaps while enjoying his hobby of stained glass. Mr. Mastro also dabbles in the art of auto repair and listening to music. Mr. Loiter loves to coach (both the boys soccer and boys j.v. basketball), and to play golf and struggle the in¬ tricate folly of building wooden model ships. Mr. St. Cyr is involved extensively with gymnastics and physical fitness, and he also directs the new Nautilus center at the Babson Recreational Center. For those of you that didn’t know it before, the Physical Education Depart¬ ment is not just a group of great bodies, but a highly sensitive group of in¬ tellectual free-thinkers. Physical Education Nurse Mrs. Ray, our school nurse, is a great help for the well being of the school. Mrs. Ray has experience in public nursing and psychiatric nursing and now makes her career in nursing. Mrs. Ray has a great in¬ terest in plants and makes her own wine. Priscilla Bigwood, Sec.
