v X, y N behalf of the students of Derry Bor- ough High School we, the seniors, wish to dedicate the third edition of the Derrian to Miss Helen Ankney, the English instructor. For the past three years, she has given her time to the production of the Derriang and without her assistance and excellent advice, the staff would have been unable to carry out its work. In the past she has directed many successful class plays. If a student ever needs assistance, she is always willing to offer her services. For the last two years, Miss Ankney has been the senior faculty adviser and has assisted the class in many ways. Therefore. it seems fitting to us that we dedicate the 1939 edition of the Derrian to her because, although she helps the other classes, her main interest lies with the seniors. Dedication

The Faculty FACULTY GROUP Seated: Mr. Bovard. Miss Nessler, Miss Boyd, Miss Ankney, Miss Co g Standing: Mr. Bucci, Mr. Landis, Mr. McKelvey, Mr. Williams The faculty--not a very imposing or colorful word, but the represen- tatives of our faculty lend importance and color to it. These men and women have devoted their time and, I might say without any undue exaggeration, much of their lives to the task of making this school proud of its graduates and making the graduates themselves useful and well- educated citizens. To some of the students the faculty represents only that bunch of old crabs who think all we have to do is work. These teachers probably come in for more unfounded criticism than any other body of men and women. Not until later in life do we realize the praise and credit they deserve. Then, when it is too late, we want to thank them for everything they have done for us, now we look on what they require as only a lot of unnecessary work. In later years, as we look back over this Derrian and glance at this group, we find that Mr. McKelvey, our supervising principal, seems to have lost what we thought was a look of sterness but which was really only a look of concern caused by his interest in making his boys and girls spiritually, morally, and physically perfect. Mr. Bucci, known to most of us affectionately as Pat, is in charge of coaching all sports. He prepares the boys for accepting defeat as well as victory in later life. Mr. Williams, though a newcomer to our faculty, is highly esteemed by everyone. He helps us to understand our government and the history of our country, he also helps us to develop our bodies in his gym classes. Miss Ankney and Miss Boyd give our graduates a thorough knowledge of the use of our language. Mathematically our students could have no better foundation than that offered by our mathematics instructors, Mr. Bucci and Mr. Landis. Mr. Landis, as student adviser, puts forth all his energies in making any of the student undertakings a success. Mr. Bovard helps our students to understand and know the problems of our government and the history of the world. Miss Cosgrove equips our students for careers in the business world. Miss Nessler, the teacher of foreign languages, makes us acquainted with French and Latin. Truly our students can point with pride to this group and say that they are the ones who have done much to make us what we are today. FOUR
