T h e b est teacher I've e ver had . . . I've learned more from him than anyother teache r . . . 'He treats his students like human beings' . . . are some of the com- m ents afforded by students w ho have had Mr. Martz in the classroom. Mr. rMaxtz's Civics ana U . S . History classes have m a ny times been the arena for heated debates and dis- c ussions with Mr. Martz as the overseer and frequently, referee. Hi s life has been one of c o n stant reading and study f or the students benefit as well as his own. Mrs. Martz 's a c a d e mic background ln- c lud es attending two Iyears at Mt. SanAntonlo Co1.e e, goingon to California Poly: technic at Pomona were' e received his Bachelor of science decgree, and, finally attending laremont Gradu- a te School were he earned his Masters of Arts degree. Members of his class e m phatically agree that as one students puts it: 'It is almost impossible to win an a Lgument with him . . . and e is one of the most in- formed men on world affairs I have ever known. Probably one of the re asons for this is that he is a member of the California Council for the Social Sciences and has contributed to its program by heading a section meeting at the state convention in San Diego last year. Mr. C arlton Martz un- d oubtedly has what it takes to make a classroom click. It's his interest in others and th e things around him that m ake Mr. Martz the superb teacher his is today. He has the uncanny power to spark his students into realizing that Civics and History are m ore than bland names and faces. And that islwlgy we feel that Mr. Carlton arrz is in every resgect one of the greatest teac ers ever to set oot on the Edgewood High School campus. '! l
