MRS. ANN LAPINSKI: English, Social Studies They deserve our admiration Junior high teachers are versatile and well-informed, as they are sometimes required to teach as many as four different subjects. While being expected to answer any questions directed to them, they must at the same time guide their students toward a successful start in high school. Teachers who supervise work study groups, remedial reading, and ungraded study must be unusually dedicated, patient, and understanding. While they sometimes meet with disappointment, more often they find their work highly rewarding. 27

Band plays at many activities The band fulfills at least two important purposes, offering students the opportunity to put their musical training to good use and providing music whenever desired for the school. Under Mr. Vincent Smith’s direction, band members march and play in parades, in Alta-mont and Scotia as well as Berne and Knox, with stirring music. Majorettes add spirit, and precision marching and twirling. Pep rallies and occasional assemblies display the band’s repertoire of selections ranging through classical and popular tunes, as do the music festivals both local and county-wide, where the music is enjoyed by larger audiences. Most traditional of all is the band’s assistance at both the baccalaureate and commencement programs at the end of the year.
