Without teaching, there can be little learning.”’ Mr. Robert Farr — science ‘Miss M arilyn Freedman — math “Students create an atmosphere that is conducive to teaching and learning. I find them amusing and I enjoy sit- ting and talking to them. I hope they’re learning from me as | do from them.” Mr. Francis Girr — English Mr. Richard Guzowski — science “The energy crisis will make future generations aware of our finite re- sources and hopefully will lead to a new conservation centered way of life.”’ Mrs. Florence Hallbourg — math Mrs. Jeannete Harris — social studies “As my profession dictates, I must teach, but a great joy and support is the fact that I am continually in a position to learn.” Mr. Philip T.

Mrs. Audrey Desrochers — gym ‘Do something beautiful. It’s today.”’ Miss Ruth Dickerman — English “Many years ago a distinguished principal of Classical High School restated Kant’s categorical imperative for his students: ‘No one has a right to do that which, if everybody did it, would destroy society.’ The counsel implicit in these words, though old, is ever new, for it is only through self- restraint and respect for others that every individual can develop his true potential.” h Mrs. Dinnie — librarian Mr. Robert Donovan — shop Mr. David Douglas — language ‘Comme le temps passe quand o s’amuse. © Mr. Thomas Dowd — social studies ‘Don’t give me any gobbdie goo.”’ Mrs. Nancy Duffy — language ‘My favorite time of any day or week is the time when I see students truly learning and enjoying it.”

Miss Kathleen Hryniewicz — lan- guage Mr. Armen Jermakian — math “Somehow the Classical spirit enters each new class and perpetuates a top notch school. Unfortunately, the physical facilities haven't kept pace.” Miss Jones —clerk Miss Velma Jordan — home ec. “To make the best, better.’ ’ Classroom Focus: Physical Sciences Mr. Howard Lynch, head of the sci- ence department, remarks on the pro- gram: ‘‘In the physical sciences, a three-year program is offered as the best preparation for a college major in physics, chemistry or engineering.”’ Senior chemistry teacher, Mr. Fran- cis Lamoureux, has this to say: ‘Our chemistry program is to prepare girls who are going into nursing or for anyone who is majoring in science and medicine. Learning to understand health and current problems, such as the energy crisis, are important for a citizen to be well informed. “We don’t have adequate lab facili- ties. And a major reason why we can’t offer Advanced Chemistry is because of this lack of facilities. To accommo- date increased enrollment, the double period for labs has been eliminated. Our students are as good as ever, but we can’t prepare them as well today as we used to.”’
