Soph otnope s E’VE made it at last, that long thought-of-dream to be members of Senior High. Of course we realize that we are still the youngest members, but our hopes are high. The “Sophs” of this year’s class are very well represented in sports. We have six letter-men: Jack Storelli, Gordon Robinson, Thomas Blackman, William Callison, Donald Geiger, El-win Fraley, and two cheerleaders: Anza Buckingham and Joan Tracy. ST fall we were taught the democratic way of electing officers, and chose for President, Richard Park; Vice-President, William Callison; Secretary, Patty Arnold; Treasurer, Marilyn Simpson; Student Council, Donald Preston, Lois Ann VanSice, Jack Storelli, and Joan Tracy. We are confident that some day we can take the juniors’ and seniors’ places and fill their responsibilities as well. 14

» o '■‘NA burns {7n the beginning of their junior year, Mr. L Bresee’s students are introduced to the works of such great artists as Emerson, Thor-eau, and Longfellow. Mr. Bresee also stresses correct verb usage and parliamentary procedure. His classes are semi-formal; he encourages self expression and discussion. For relaxation from his school duties, Mr. Bresee turns to the piano. During the noon hour you may hear him playing one of Mozart’s compositions on the piano in the auditorium. Should you pass through Ulster after school hours, it is possible you will see him working in his garden. His large record collection is his pride and joy. Mr. Bresee, a graduate of Mansfield State Teachers College and Pennsylvania State College, came to our school in 1946. He teaches English, Algebra I, and Guidance. He also acts as advisor for the junior class magazine, “The Teaogan. ” (7N her orderly English classes we learned OF the basic principles which govern our future speech. Not only does she stress the fundamentals of grammar, but she also includes a well chosen section on literature. The seventh grade classes are taken up with sentence structure and parts of speech. This is good preparation for the next year when the mysteries of analytics and the composition of paragraphs are introduced. To help keep her classes interesting, Mrs. Burns has introduced a program of poetry contests as well as the required book reports, which serve to stimulate interest in good literature. Mrs. Burns, an alumna of Athens High School and Mansfield, has taught seventh and eighth grade English in our school for fifteen years.
