MATHEMATICS photographs in the SCROLL are their accomplish- ments. There are teachers who manage a sum- mer camp every year, and teachers who take students on skiing expeditions. Country Day has faculty members who are regularly symphony goers, and baseBall game at- tenders. There are those who like to play bridge, and those who enjoy tennis and sailing. Some teachers are involved in church work. One faculty member belongs to the Opera Association. An- other is an avid hunter. Some of the faculty are involved with counselingeotc teeneage-rs, of young married couples. Oftentimes it becomes obvious, even to the dullest student, that the faculty is really iust a group ot human beings. For instance, one day a teacher twho will remain eternally anonymousl Jammed his hand through a classroom window. Then there were the many heated political dis- cussions at the faculty lunch table tend in the classroom on occasionl. HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT MR. WILLIAM R.

LANGUAGE sees the word Math written all over the being of a Math teacher. He pictures a History teacher's entertainment as drinking Coke while smug-Iy reciting to himself the causes of the War of 1812. He pictures an English teacher spending a wild evening brewing tea and trying to recite as many poems as he can remember. Too often the student forgets that teachers are people, are human beings who have chosen to teach, iust as others have chosen to make spaghetti gand the student doesn't picture a spaghetti maker as making spaghetti all day long! The faculty at Country Day do many things unrelated to their field of study. Some of our teachers are excellent craftsmen. The assembly rostrum was built and piay tickets printed by one Country Day teacher. One teacher has built the whole floor to his attic. Some play musical instrumenTSethe piano, the clarinet, the trumpet. Many of our teachers enioy singing, some in church choirs. One faculty member is an expert pilot --- another is a skydiver iprobabiy the most daring of faculty featsi. Photography is great interest to some of our teachers. Some of the LATIN MR.

SCIENCE The faculty at Country Day are scholars. But they are also interested in scores of unscholarly things which are too numerous to ever be men- tioned in the classroom or in the ARCHIVE. But it is necessary to realize that the man behind the desk is, as well as a part of the faculty of the Cincinnati Country Day School, a part of the world and a well rounded individual -in other words-wa fine example for the young, searching mind of the Country Day Student.
