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.

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

ENGLISH AND Mr. Joseph Bien Miss Mary Ellen Winter Mr. Kelly Smith A favorite subject of conversation among his French students is their erudite profeuem; MONSIEUR JOSEPH BIEN. Tall, lean, and possessing what his students assert to be Ia superiorite'du homme elegant, he has brought a touch of old world charm into the classroom where he is both amused by and amusing to his definitely new world students. Besides French he teaches eighth gtaders American history and leads upperclassmen through the mazes of psychology tXavier UniversityHBtAq MiA.; Laval University; The Sorbonne, University of Paris; University of Cincinnati-wBSJ MARY ELLEN WINTER is teaching her first year at Deer Park, exercising her talents in teaching ninth grade students both Latin and English. No doubt her academic background in philosophy helps her in maintaining Stoic calm as she directs the occasionally frantic antics of the reserve and eighth grade cheerleaders, and gives her the fortitude essential to directing the activities of G.A.A. tOur Lady of Cincinnati CollegeeBA. in Philosophyy Behind hom-rimmed spectacles dance a pair of- intelligent, amused eyes belonging to MR. KELLY SMITH. Alert, interested in all manner of subjects, and particularly in his students, he inspires his eighth grade pupils to couragCOus daily assaults upon Latin syntax. Currently enlarging his academic horizons through study in the guidance field, he still grids time occasonally for a hand of bridge or a round of golf. tUniversity of Daytonw-A.B.; Ohio University-- M. E 9 When not embedded in an avalanche of musty volumes, our new librarian, PEARL PORTNOY, can be found tearing headlong through the halls, tape-machine in one hand, extension cord in the other. Reinforced by years of experience in the public libraries of St. Louis and Cincinnati, Miss Portnoy has brought order out of the chaos in our school library. eWashington UniversityeBA; University of IllinoiseMS. in Library Sciencey Just how much can be added to a class by a radiant smile on the face of its teacher is exemplified by the classes of JUDY ARBAUGH, a newcomer to the staff. She makes up for the pondorosity of her homework assignments, the eighth graders tell us, by providing an abundance of after-school study time; Coming directly from the halls of ivy to Deer Park, her methods of teaching insure that her first year will long remain in the memories of the Class of 1965. tBethany College; West Virginia UniversityeBAJ Miss The Jtudy of Foreign ggiiioy Language Wing; 215 510164 to tlame who Jpeak them.
