Mr. Wagner and I0th Grade woodsmen discuss the previous day's turkey hunting. Hello, I'm Max Narby, Pennsyl- vania History and Civics instruc- tor. This is my second year at Cameron County High School and I must confess I enioy my work very much. My goal as your teacher, and friend, is to help prepare you for the problems with which you will be faced, as citizens of the United States. I try to impress upon my stu- dents the importance of history. By knowing and understanding what has happened in the past, we can help build a better fu- ture for ourselves and the world. I acquired my formal education at Clarion State College. My hob- bies include hunting, hiking, reading, and working in my gar- den. I am sorry I did not have the opportunity to meet all of you seniors in my :lassroomg however, I would like to wish you all the best of luck in your endeavors. 24 Mr. Narby and Barbara Towner discuss a Civics Problem. SOCEAL STUDIES History has been described as the elongated shadows of great men. ln the field of social studies we emphasize American history and government-a rich heritage that has been bequeathed to us by such illustrious Americans as Wash- ington, Jefferson, Lincoln and many others. To appreciate fully the contributions of these men, all students are steeped in Geography, Civics, History and Govern- ment of the United States. Students are taught that this wonderful heritage carries with it duties and responsibilities of citizenship if our democratic principles are to prevail in this modern era of conflicting ideologies. Hello, I'm Jim Miller. American History in the 8th and Iith grade is my present teaching assignment. I am a graduate of Lock Haven State College and Penn State University. Outside of school, I enioy hunting, working on my home, and attending baseball games. To me, the importance of history is that a knowledge of the events of the past and a recognition of mistakes of the past will help to solve the future problems of the world.

Hello, I am Robert Lamont. l teach English and History at our school. I am a graduate of St. Francis College Loretto, Pa., and am doing graduate studies at St. Bonaventure University. My favorite pastimes include hunt- ing, fishing and rooting for the Card- inals to win the pennant. However, many of these activities have been curbed this year because of the ad- dition of a newly adopted daughter to our family. I chose teaching as a career be- cause my parents and teachers have helped and guided me in preparing for the future-working toward a bet- ter world and better life. I feel it is my obligation to help and guide others in preparing them to become good citizens of our great country.

Hi, I'm Larry Boring. I teach world and American history in the iunior high. My formal education was re- ceived at Lock Haven State College. My leisure time is devoted to athletics in any of three roles: coach, par- ticipant, and spectator. My main in- terest is football, probably because this is the sport with which I have been associated the longest.
