BEARDED WONDER BOWS OUT ROCHESTER, June 10—In February 1966, Mr. Guy W, Mann taught his last day at East High School and began his new job with the Board of Education Language department, based at Madison High School. His new job involves the teaching of English to inner city students. As English teacher for 514 years and Clarion advisor for 314 years, Mr. Mann is perhaps best known, by former students, for his starring roles as Hamlet and Macbeth in his one-man Shakespearean productions. His feats as Clarion advisor have gained him city wide fame, for that monthly publica- tion won second prize last year in the Gannett Publi- cations contest. Mr. Mann is reportedly quite satisfied with his new job, but enjoys frequent | MR. Mann visits to his old realm, for which he maintains great interest and loyalty. Ya Editorial: FROM A STUDENT VIEWPOINT it is tragic, but by virtue of the ability that makes them what they are, the best teachers seldom stay long in the classrooms, but are taken away to positions downtown.” While it is true that from behind their new desks they indirectly influence the students by controlling policy, what of the students’ need for people who can make education exciting? Perhaps the Board of Education has been looking at its system with the wrong perspective. Since the Board's primary goal is education, why not put the best people to work educating, and make that worth their while, instead of offering only subsistence wages to teachers and thus degrading all educa- tive work except administrative positions? This year, Mr. Guy W. Mann left his East High classes for an administrative position. With sincere thanks for his work while he was here, and with best wishes for his future, the 1966 Orient staff dedicates this book to Mr. Guy W. Mann, Jr.
