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. In the development of the individual stu- dent, mental, social, and physical growth is necessary. Athletic programs provide a good environment in which these developments can be channeled in the proper direction. Hello, I am Harvey Wagner, teacher of 10th grade History and Consumer Economics.

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.

MAI!-IEMNICQ If there is an international language, it is mathematics. This is basically true, for from a few symbols, such as the unit one, sines, plus signs, and x, is built a whole complex system of formulae that rival language. Mathematics in some form is needed by every student to be prepared for any occupation, and there are basic courses for every field of study. Each student first studies basic arithmetic and then pro- gresses either to business courses in accounting and practical math or college preparatory courses in al- gebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The object of mathematics courses is not only to teach mastery of computations and formulae, but also to teach the student to think clearly, to organize thoughts, and to analyze and reason with only a minimum of information. Thus the student is better prepared to develop his talents, whatever his field. I f sect 1 1.-+1 1. K 1 .fa 4 .J eg. get Hi! I am Flossie Smith currently teaching General and Related Math.

I think the stu- dents at C.C.H.S. are fortunate in being able to take five years of Col- lege preparatory math instead of four. Not everyone should try to pursue a career in mathematics or science, but for those who have the ability to do so the need'and opportunities have never been greater.
