Mrs. Follett — Language We know that Mrs. Follett has often wondered how far her capabilities as a teacher have extend- ed to each of her students. But she can be assured j that her personal and inspired methods of teach- ing are what have given her such a fine reputation at East. Her enthusiasm as instructor and as a friend has helped to keep languages alive in this school. Each year her classes grow larger to ac- comodate her growing number of followers. On behalf of all her students we would like to give Mrs. Follett our warmest thanks for her unself- ish contributions to the student body; and to wish her many more years of success and good luck J that she has achieved in her years at East High. Mr. MacCracken — Industrial Arts Mr. MacCracken is a teacher very skilled in his field. His stu- dents know that they are lucky to share in his talents. Aside from his teaching schedule, he has given of his time to print special material for school functions; for instance, Thespian tickets, Mosaic material, Homeroom notices, display signs and school calendars. We thank him for doing more than his share; his unselfishness is the true root of all friendships.

Miss Cappellino — Language Jean Cappellino is more than just a teacher to the stu- dents she has come in contact with. She has befriended them all, and in so doing has made the hours spent with her in study more enjoyable. She has been an inspiration and an asset to us during our years in high school. Thank you, Miss Cappellino. ui Mr. Palleschi — Social Studies Usually there are only one or two kids that have had a teacher, and therefore are able to write about him. In this case, however, everyone knew Mr. Palleschi, and everyone wanted to write about him. He is a very popular person in this school. We think it may have something to do with his consistent presence in the cafeteria. We also thank him for being an excellent history teach- er and a patient, caring friend.

Mr. Morrow — Math Mr. Morrow, in addition to being a dedicated teacher, has those special qualities found only in a friend. Patience is a very impor- tant asset for a friend, and especially a teacher of math. When those equations start racing through your head at top speed it’s nice to have a teacher like Mr. Morrow to slow things down to a comprehensible level. High school kids need a teacher that can understand their point of view. Mr. Morrow’s teaching is built on this kind of understanding. Mrs. Slattery — Science Jean Slattery is an asset to our educational system. She is not only a good chemistry teacher. She also acts as counselor and friend to many. Due to her con- cern for everyone, she is a person with few prejudices. Mrs. Slattery is involved in many extracurricular ac- tivities because she is so generous with her time. Those students fortunate enough to come in contact with her will always treasure the time spent with her.
