SCIENCE AN MR. CARI. H. SPRAY, an everlasting enigma to his students, teaches chemistry, physics, and general science. He has become a source of wonder to many because of the quality of hes courses, for to the dismay of his physics students, he has a disturbing habit of deriving the formulas merely stated in the text, and going far deeper into the subject matter than they had imagined possible, leaving them perplexed, exhausted, but somehow wiser and richer for the experience. Undiana UniversityeBS. and MS. in Educationh MR. BLUCHER ALLEN teaches biology and general science. A man of varied interests, he is a student of herpetologyeyes, he actually likes snakes; of ichthy- ologyehe has an aquarium filled with fascinating creatures of the deep; and of the culinary arts, as one might learn seeing him preparing a feast in his bachelor apartment. It is even possible that you might find him in an easy chair listening to good musiceif he ever gives himself time for such idleness. tLees College; University of KentuckyreBAq B,Si, MAJ MR. WILLIAM BRIGHT teaches bright and sprightly eighth graders, who under his painstaking guidance explore the limitless mysteries of general science. Mr. Bright is also a sports enthusiast and is particularly interested in seeing young people develop strong healthy bodies. One may find him aftere school snrronnded by dumb-bells and boys working out With body-building exercnses. tUmverSity of CincinnatiniS. in EdJ Cool, calm, and collected, MR. XVILLIAM C. RUSSELL has taught in a number of schools, btit has been at Deer Park long enough to have become a part of the school tradition-gas indeed have the autobiographies which each year he requests and receives from his eighth grade science students-masterpieces of yOuthful self-exploration. iWilmington College; University of CincinnatieBS. in EdJ Attractive EULA TEMPLIN has been teaching the girls of Deer Park High the fine arts of cooking and sewing for a number of years, and a glance at the results of her instruction proves that she does an excellent job of it. Set- ting high standards, she sees to it that the girls in her classes learn well the skills essential to the running of a household. No doubt all will have ample cause to thank her for her sound words of advice in the future. tMiami Extension; Eastern Kentucky State Teachers: CollegeeBSJ PR A C T, CA '.

bANGUAGE What a dull place school would be if all teachers followed the conventional pattern! But dull Deer Park is not, for among our esteemed faculty can be feund DONALD SCHAEFER, a man who is neither pedantic nor dull. He reveals in teaching his English students to speak and the halls ring out with the not always melliflous eloquence of their efforts. A believer in the sweep ing gesture, he trains his students in what might appear to be flight, but is in fact merely flights of fancy. A total abstainet tfrom sesquipedalianismsL Mr. Schaefet finds delight in singing in the shower and in the company of Albert, one of his fellow intellectuals. tEastern Kentucky State-A.B.; Uni- versity of CincinnatD Genuinely sophisticated, sensitive, and understanding, MRS. DOROTHY MCCANN, one of the best loved teachers in the school, has endeared herself Mr. Donald Schaefer to almost everyone she has encountered. Her astounding, welLoiled vocabulary, vibrant personality, and animated classes have brightened many a prosaic day for her students, who, it is suspected, do their best not for good grades, but for the sheer delight of making that famous pixie face light up With jOy. tOhio State UniversityeBS. in Ed.; University of MichiganviM,A.; Uni- versity of CincinnatQ A smile on the face of a new teacher last September soon became the familiar grin of MILDRED O'REAR, teacher of English and journalism. A talented writer, she received her MA. in creative writing, but her interests are also creative in Other ways, for she is a master of the art of creating culinary delicaties. Mrs. OlRearls interests are many and accordingly she is an interest- ing, intelligent person, a welcome addition to Deer Parkls staff. Undiana UniversityWABq MAJ When the familiar figure of MRS, BERNADINE SHARP goes flying through the corridors, it usually means that :1 plays in the making, for Mrs. Sharp is Deer Parkls petite, vivacious dramatics coach. Her successful pro- duction of Ring Ammzd Elizabeth last fall brought accolades to the Drama Mrs. Dorothy McCann Guild and deserved prestige to their director. Mrs. Sharp teaches sophomore English and public speaking, and advises National Thespian Troupe ??BW. tCoe CollegHBS; State University of IowaaMAJ THOMAS HUSTMYER is a quiet man with a rare, subtle sense of humor which stattles his students occasionally and delights his fellow faculty mem- bers. His interests are many and discussions With him can range from the raising of newts to Zen, from comedy to tragedy, and from combo jazz to symphonic t0r1e poems. For his eighth grade English students, Tom Hust- myer opens many mental doors. tXavier UniversityeAB. in English; Uni- versity of Cincinnam Mrs. Mildred OlRear Mr. Thomas Hustmyer Literature enriClaeJ our Ziyex, broaden: our laorizom.

MA THEMATICS It is evident to everyone passing through his math classes that MR, BURNICE CHAMPION is just thatea champion. In twentyveight years of teaching he has devised methods which make even plane geometry and trig seem simple. But mast of all i'Champ will be remembered for his philosophical discourses upon life in general 01nd the Parkers in particulary, for out of such substance are champions made. Eastern Kentucky State College-B.S.; University of Kentucky; University of Virginia In pursuing their relentless search for knowledge, Deer Park students inevitably meet the challenge of higher mathematics. Not overshadowed in the least by his subject is towering PAUL MCGREEVY, our peerless proponnder of equations, formulas, substitutions, and ratios. Once his students have ploughed with him through the mathematical maze, they are prepared to face any further mathemati- cal profundities which may confound them. tMiami UniversityeBS. in Educa- tion; Ohio University; Kent State Universityy A guiding light of the mathematics department is JAMES CARNES, who also teaches driver-trainingv Thoummm driver-ed stu- dents, his aim cant be doubted in the algebra classes where his games are a daily hazard. Insisting that his wifrfs second graders could work them, Mr. Carries manages to dream up problems that would put an electronic brain to shame One wonders how many of his former students owe their present jobs to the sound foundation he gave them in elementary algebra. tGeorgetown University; Univer- sity of CincinnatieABJ EVA THEISEN is an attractive, intelligent woman with keenly perceptive eyes and a refreshing sense of humor. Teaching math to eighth graders, she trains them firmly but good-naturedly in the development of a disciplined approach to thinking, and, in the process, earns their respect and affection. Finding her stu- dents full of unexpected answers, she collects classroom anecdotes and tells them in a way that makes her listeners roar with laughter. tWittenberg-AB; Miami UniversityJ Mr. Paul McGreevy A figure not likely to pass unnoticed in Deer Park corridors is that of AR- THUR MALEY, head of the Industrial Arts Department. The results of his expert advice in vocational matters can be. seen in the awards Which his stu- dents have won in the various fairs where the products of their labors were exhibited. In addition to' his Class- SC'ENCES room duties he coaches the reserve football team, the varsity basketball team, and the golf team. tOhio Uni- versity; Wilmington College-Bse in Education; Miami University; Xavier Universityy Mrs. Eva Theisen Mr. Arthur Maley
