COUNSELORS Miss Helen Williams A familiar face around the Deer Park halls is that of MISS HELEN WILLIAMS, our assistant principal and guidance counselor. Miss Williams received her B.A. from Transylvania College, her 31.5. from the University of Kentucky, and her M.A. from Columbia University. Miss Wil- liams, who has had over twenty-six years exper- ience in Deer Park and in Lancaster high schools, is, in addition'to being a connoisseur of music and cooking, something of a world traveler. She spent a summer in Europe recently, touring nine nations, and is now contemplating a cruise to the South Pacific, the Far East, and Australia. We wish her Bon Voyage and a happy return. Deer Park would never be the same without her. Mr. Daniel OiRear MR. DANIEL O'REAR, who, along with Miss Williams, directs the guidance of Deer Park students, is a man whose personal warmth and charm make students who consult him comfortab- Iy at ease. Coming from Indiana schools Where for :1 number of years he taught English, he has a B.S. from Indiana State Teachersi College and an M.S. from Indiana University. WeIl-informed, intelligent, enjOying outdoor life, reading, and good music, he likes helping those students who seek his assistance. Mr. O'Rear, although with us just this year, has already made a. place for him- self in the esteem and affection of the students; and the number 0i them seeking his friendly counsel grows day by day. Miss Williams and M1: O'Rear, our guidance counselors, advise the students on all aspects of their plans for the future Not only do they aid in the most difficult task of choosing a college, but also in job placement, military service, and in alt manner of other problems which may arise The counselor IS certainly the high school jack- of- all- trades, with an ever- listening eat, an ever- open heart, and an ever- -reacly solution for student Problems

Completing his second successful year as prin- cipal of Deer Park High School is MR. LOUIS MANNING. A graduate of Eastern Kentucky State With both an AB. and an MA. from that institution, he has also the benefit of ten yearsi teaching experience before assuming the role of t principal. Though the unknowing possessor of countless nicknames attesting the ingenuity of their originators, it is evident that Mr. Manning truly has the respect of the student body. Many of his plans, such as the up and ud0wn stairs, and the new method of moving to assembly, though they met With complaints at first, have proved immensely successful. Deer Park students are coming to the happy realization that there,s a steady hand on the throttle and Deer Parkis moving rapidly down the road to higher educa- tion. A former Deer Parker herself, Mrs. NORMA ABT, the for- mer Miss Wlatkins7 has returned to her alma mater in the capah city of secretary. Just as her glowing personality warms her many friends, her displeasure makes it hot,' for those who dare to cross her. She is indeed queen of the hundred square- foot office kingdom over which she rules. MR. LOUIS MANNING, Principal On behalf of the faculty I congratulate the Class of 1961ethe largest class ever at Deer Park. To the members of the Antlers staff I extend a special note of congratulations for your splendid work in publishing this yearbbok. In years to come, as we reminisce through the pages of this Antlers, your efforts Will be enjoyed and appreciated over and over again. Sincerely, me Louis Manning Principal

SOCIAL STUDIES No one graduates from Deer Park withOut passing through the highly chalA lenging and occasionally argumentative American government classes of MR, EDWARD PHILLIPS. Kind, challenging, and well-informed, he rules over his classes with benevolent despotism. The firm belief in democracy which he passes along to his students is not easily forgotten, as many Deer Park graduates can testify. Mr. Phillips has been and, we hope, will remain an integral part of the Deer Park facultyi eOhio University; Wilmington College; University of CincinnatieBSJ A teacher Who challenges students to think is an asset to any school. Such a teacher is MRS. ANNA PROFFIT, who, presenting communism with ob- jectivity, instills a deep and lasting respect for democracy in the hearts of her students. Ever since coming to Deer Park Mrs. Proffit has been urging students to reason things out for themselves, knowing that they will inevit- ably find in democracy the solution. Here, then, is an inspiring teachers one whose influence will be felt for years to come. eOhio State University;B.S. in Educationh JERR WOOD does a double job at Deer Park. Academically he teaches world history; athletically, he was the fellow who helped goad the football backfield into a championship this year. Good-looking, with dimples which intrigue the girls in his classes, he has a wry sense of humor Which keeps world history from being dull, and keeps the teams on their toeseto avoid it! eWilmington CollegeeBS. in EdJ JAMES BRATTON, when not guiding his eighth graders over the rocky road to knowledge in Ohio histOry, is leading them over the even rockier road to learning football, basketball, and baseball. Putting all they have into the game, his proteges show not only their love for the game, but respect and admiration for the man teaching them to play it. eUniversity of DaytoneBiS. in E01,; Xavier Universityh CLARENCE PIERCEY, Who has been teaching for many years, has cer- tainly made a big impression on his students. His resounding baritone will echo in the memories of his students for years to come, just as it now resounds daily through Deer Park corridors. His pleasure in being athletic director and school sportscaster, is second only to the joy he feels in teaching his eighth grade American history classes-a sport in itself. tBerea College; Kentucky WesleyaneAiBs; University of Kentuckyh Mr. Clarence Piercey Mr. James Bratton Mr. Edward Phillips Mrs. Anna Proffit Mr. Jerr Wood To prepare for time future one mmt undemfdnd tlye pan.
