FINE ARTS e. w m' Miss McCafferty Mt. Misnet Miss Howard MARYLYN MCCAFFERTY is our tall talented and quietly charming art teacher. In addition she has a class of sophomores to whom she explains the intricasies of gerunds, participles, and complex sentences. As her students can testify, Miss McCafferty has the rare gift of bringing out the best in the artistically talented, and of developing abilities in others who are unaware of their own capabilities-an art in itself. tCollege of Mount Saint Joseph on-the-' OhiFBAJ Stirring marches, dreamy waltzes, rhythmic tangos ring through the halls of Deer Park High since the return of FRANK MISNER to his alma mater to direct instrumental music. His ten years of voluntary exile studying and teaching elsewhere were only a prelude to what is bound to become a musical triumph here. Since his return the band has taken on new vitality, reiterating the enthusiasm and vigor of its leader. tOhio University; University of Cin- cinnati; Cincinnati Conservatory of MuhiceBS. in Music Educationj MISS DOROTHY HOWARD is the Vocal Music Department. that else can be said? When someone has the pheno- menal ability of taking ordinary students and changing them into singers who together create music so lovely that it is occasionally overwhelming, there is little left to say. We can only hope that the new Dorothy HOwai-d Elementary School shows in some way the gratitude, respect and admiration felt for this warm-heatted, understanding woman. tCincinnati College of Music; University of CincinnatieBS. in Public School Musicj MR. THOMAS GRISWOLD, head coach and director of physical education at Deer Park is a man of contagious enthusiasm. Big in size and big in heart, he is an important part of school activities. Deservedly proud of the co-cham- pionship won by his football team and the records made by his track men, he looks back upon his days as a teacher of world history with no regrets, and looks optimistically ahead to other seasons as good as this one. tMiami Univer- sity-BS. in Eciucationj Our girls' physical education instructor, JANET MUELLER, modestly lists golf as a hobby, but those in the know are aware that she is indeed a champion who won the Cincinnati Womens Golf trophy this past summer. In addition to her other Deer Park duties, Mrs. Mueller is in charge of the varsity cheerleaders, many of whose graceful capers are attributable to her contrivance, But most of all she will be remembered for her wry observations about life in general and people in particular. PHYSICAL EDUCATION A thing of beauty is a joy forever.- Keats Mr. Thomas Griswold Mrs. Janet Mueller 2'

wthlNESS ' EDUCA TION Miss Helen Spurr Mr. Eugene Paalz Mrs. Mary Johnson Queen of the keyboard, arbiter between typewriter and student, and perennial pedagogue 0f secretarial techniques, HELEN SPURR has been teaching at Deer Park for a number of years. A Kentuckian, as any two consecutive sentences uttered by her reveal, her slow easy drawl is a part of he: quaint Southern charm and her droll observations about life and people delight both students and faculty. tUniversity of KentuckyeABg Northwestern University; Univer- sity of XWisconsin-MSJ I The tall impressive figure of MR. EUGENE L. PAALZ is not one to go unnoticed, nor indeed can one ignore the man who guards so closely the purse strings of the school activity funds. For the past six years he has been teaching students how to master business machines and bookkeeping problems and giving philosophical on such unrelated subjects as the advantages of being a bachelor and the superiority of a vegetarian diet. tUniversity of Cincinnati-- B.S. in Education, Master of Education, Certificate in Real Estatej A new dimension in teaching was added with the advent of MARY JOHNSON. Mrs. Johnson, who teaches sundry business education courses, is a tall delightful person with the admirable quality of getting along with her students both inside and out of the classroom, and it is common knowledge that she enjoys a good joke just as much as anyone. Her infectious smile and friendly manner have endeared her to students and faculty alike. tUniversity of Cincinnati wBAS. in Business EdJ MRS. TRUMAN SMYTH is a tail, attractive Texan who started the year as a substitute and proved so valuable that the Board of Education prevailed upon her to stay and teach a special section of eighth graders Mrs. Smyth has taught in such varied places as Texas, Kentucky, and Japan, and thus has a rich experiential background upon which to draw. That she does this well is easily seen in the devotion afforded her by her students. tBaylor University eB.A.; University of Houston; Trinity Universityi MR. THOMAS MEAGHER has returned to shed the light of knowledge upon the special group of eighth graders Mrs. Smyth left at Christmas. His return is heralded with joy by those who remember him as an inspiring teacher of art. His interests are varied ranging from his great love of art to travel; and students will benefit from the experiepce he has gleaned from all of them. tMoorehead State College, Kentucky-BAJ MRS. PHYLLIS THOMAS taught history in Michigan before coming here, but serves now in the rather rigorous role of study hall supervisor, a job demanding the most exacting of disciplinary techniques. The occasionally austere manner forced upon her by her duties disguises a friendly, warm-hearted person who enjOys people. Mrs. Thomas keeps What free moments she has well-fiiied with such hobbies as sewing, knitting, and gardening. tOshkosh State SPECIAL SUBJECTS College, Wisconsine-BSJ a -:' 20 Mrs. Truman Smyth Mr. Thomas Meagher Mrs. Phyllis Thomas

First of all, he died 545 years too soon, and secondly, the quality of Deer Parks culinary output far sur- passes the notorious witches' brewi Seriously, the cafeteria staff, although con- tinually confronted with jeers and jibes7 has raised the standards of cooking remarkably. Even the mystery balls have become real hamburgers! The drudgery of eating in the cafeteria has be- come delight. And a special delight awaits all who patronize the cafeteria on days when the school inspector visitsi Although hidden in the background, our culinary crew is a vital part of Deer Perk High, and we take this opportunity CUSTOD'AL AND to salute themethey deserve it!
