Mr. Richard J. Davis Mathematics Dept. Chairman; Mathematics Mrs. Marcia Krolikowski Mathematics Mr. Edmund J. Burke Mathematics Mathematics, as the hard working students will tell you, can be inspiring, highly motivating, but of- ten frustrating. “My, those are interesting curves, aren’t they!’’ “Did Pythagoras invent the hypote- nuse?” . . . The good thing about Math is that it’s a non-political issue. To understand geometry suc- cessfully, one must have a logical mind and know all the “angles” . . . Sines and cosines are either positive or negative . . . just remember A.S.T.C. and tomorrow’s homework assignment! Math is con- centric . . . errrr . . . confusing! Mr. Harold R. Farmer Mathematics; Math Team Miss Betty Ann Owings Mathematics Mrs. Paula Festa Mathematics; Math Team Mrs Marie A Bonello Mathematics MATHEMATICS Miss Barbara Benoit Mathematics 15

Flaherty U.S. History; Student Council Advisor; Tennis Mr. Richard Moltz Sociology; Psychology; World History Mrs. Clara N. Whitney World History; Field Hockey To succeed in Social Studies the student must have both a challenging attitude and a good under- standing of people and their motivations. “Was Roosevelt really a bull moose?” ... “I don’t under- stand what the C.C.C., the T.V.A., and the N.R.A. had to do with F.D.R.?’’ Students learn the impor- tance of “geopolitics” as their studies of govern- ments and peoples are made clearer when related to a region’s geography . . . “No, we weren’t on trial. We just visited court!” What is the most impor- tant thing to remember when analyzing an histo- rian’s ideas? Remember to consider the time in which he wrote.” Mr. John MacBain Psychology; Sociology; Soccer; Baseball Mr. William A. McWilliams U.S. History; Football; Basketball; Track Mr. Ray M.

I Mr. Leon E. Hamel Chemistry Mr. Charles R. Holbrook Biology Mr. William T. Cowing Science Dept. Chairman; Chemistry Quick, define magnetic flux in twenty five words or less! I thought bases were used in baseball, not chemistry. Broken test tubes? Sign the book, Roger. You’re actually taking physics? Watch out for those runaway carts with bricks on them! I won’t believe the image of that candle is behind the mirror until I see it! How come the crucible never breaks until after it’s been carefully weighed? What’s that smell? Rot- ten eggs in the biology lab? No, the chemistry class is burning sulphur without using the hoods. Mr. Winslow S. Russell, Jr. Physics; Science Club; Soccer Mrs. Margaret Simons Chemistry; Physics Mrs. Sandra M. Cortese Biology; N.H.S.; Bicycle Club Mr. Richard Howick Biology 16
