THANKS MRS. MARION HOWARD Although she has influenced many other classes, Mrs. Howard will always be remembered by the members of the class of 1967. As the advisor of our Senior Flay she exhibited the continuous energy and conscientious manner that has gained her the respect of all her students. One quality that has endeared her to all of us is her fairness. She is always willing to evaluate the merits of all her students equally. The students who were fortunate enough to have her realize fully the influence she has bestowed upon them throughout their high school career. Her patience and understanding helped us as freshmen and sophomores to develop the genuine respect for English which we will retain in years to come. Always found supporting extra-curricular activities such as athletics, clubs, and musical organizations, she has helped us to appreciate their values in the development of our character. Never to be forgotten by the class of 1967, Mrs. Howard well deserves the special thanks we are giving to her now. Make the Strongest Ties . . Cecil John Rhodes MISS JOAN LINDROTH Known primarily as a biology teacher and cheering advisor, Miss Lindroth has become a personal friend of the cla s of 1967. Her words of kindness and cheer brightened the future of our class when we needed it the most. Her many contributions to the school as a whole and to our class in particular have gained her the respect of all who know her. Although she has only been teaching in East Rockaway High School since our sophomore year, her effect on us individually and as a class has been great. Through her energetic work as cheering advisor, the past two years have seen pep rallies which successfully stimulated the school spirit that had been lying dormant previously. Her endurance as cheering advisor is unending and her dedication as a teacher is steadfast. Our memories of Miss Lindroth will remain with us long after we graduate. We are confident that we will utilize the knowledge she has passed on to us. For this reason, we give Miss Lindroth the special thanks she well deserves. XI

SPECIAL MRS. IRIS HALFORD Mrs. Halford is our own Madame DeFarge, Julius Caesar, and Cress Delahanty rolled into one. She is a person full of charm, wit and a personality as vibrant and alive as the above mentioned characters which she enlightened us to in sophomore English. Energetic both in and out of the classroom, Mrs. Halford spices her class with a bit of the unexpected that makes everything worthwhile and enjoyable. Conducting the class with a gracious manner, she has gained the respect she deserves from all of her students. Outside the classroom we can count on her as a loyal friend, one who is always willing to help. She is always there with a smile and words of encouragement. Not only has she molded the character of many individuals, but she has influenced our class as a whole. Therefore, with the greatest of gratitude, we pay this tribute to one of the finest teachers we know— Mrs. Halford. . . . Educational Relations MR. GERALD HONIG As every class feels indebted to the one teacher who helps them produce their final contribution as high school students, so, we, the members of the class of 1967, feel Mr. Ilonig deserves our special thanks for his dedicated assistance in the production of the 1967 ROCK. Throughout this past year he has reassured us when all seemed lost, advised us wisely when we were in doubt, and brightened up many black days with a sense of humor all his own. Always willing to listen to and understand the many problems that we have been confronted with, he has stimulated us to work toward successfully achieving the goal we sought. Dedicated not only as the adviser of the ROCK and the National Honor Society, but as a teacher, Mr. Honig deserves the respect of all his students. He is always willing to go along with a practical joke whether it be on him or on one of his students. Through this quotation he has enlightened us to the practical uses of math. “ His allergy to Math is definite, 1 lis teacher often grades him “F” in it. That censure seems a trifle drastic. In view, each spring, of his fantastic Omniscience, on a daily basis. Of figures in the pennant races For these contributions and many more we give Mr. Honig our special thanks, for without his helping hand we would never have emerged successfully with a yearbook of which we can be proud.
