lt seems that in every school there is some one person who takes to her heart and has a maternal attitude to- wards the entire student body. ln the Farrell Senior High School, this person is our own MISS ANN GOJDICS. As senior class advisor, Miss Goidics counsels and advises her students in the hundred-and-one problems that arise in the senior class. She spends many hours in her office every day taking care of student accounting lYes, boys, that includes detentionll and somehow manages to teach us literature appreciation and English grammar. What would we do without our busy Miss Goidics?? MRS. MARY JONES, as head of the Commercial Club, advises her budding young secretaries in their publishing of the Secretary's Scoop, a school newspaper dealing with subjects of interest to commercial students, pub- lished once every six weeks. Here Mrs. Jones helps our new southern belle, MRS. ETHEL GREEN, to get ac- quainted with our school. Mrs. Green, newly arrived from Kentucky, teaches girls' health and physical education. Welcome to Farrell, Mrs. Green. An active participant in many Shen- ango Valley dramatic productions, MISS KATHRYN POLYZOU is probably relating some of her acting experi- ences to one of her dramatics classes, Miss Polyzou is head of the Thespian Club and directs all the plays given by our dramatically inclined students. ln addition to her dramatic activities, Miss Polyzou teaches speech at the iunior high school.

CURRICULUM DIRECTOR MR. ANTHONY .I. PINTAR Mr. Anthony J. Pintar, formerly served as teacher of mathematics at the senior high, then as principal of the iunior, and senior high schools, is now the curriculum director of the Farrell Area Schools. Mr. Pintar is in charge of coordinating the studies of the students with their educational needs. SENIOR HIGH GUIDANCE COUNSELOR MR. LOUIS MOROCCO Mr. Louis Morocco, our busy guidance counselor, takes a moment off from his rushed schedule to give his secretaries, Barb Weber and Margie Homer, a few instructions be- fore he dashes off on his daily trip to the iunior high. We all greatly appreciate Mr. Morocco's personal interviews with each of us to help us select our college or vocation, and it is often from his advice that our life work is chosen. 9

Recently back from an exchange teaching trip to Europe, MISS FRANCES DURITSA is in charge of our home-economics department. ihe odors, savory and otherwise, of the unimaginable concoctions being produced in rooms l3O and 133 are a direct result of the attempts at culinary artistry made by Miss Du- ritsa's students. The girls are taught cooking, sewing, and many other subiects dealing with home dec- orating. Here Miss Duritsa is showing JoAnne Sa- konyi illustrations of some of the finer points in home interiors. Our two most eligible Farrell High bachelors, MR. EDWARD FLYNN and MR. JOSEPH SCARVELL, look as if they're enioying their freedom. As the tradi- tional Marryin' Sam for our annual Sadie Hawkins Dance, Mr. Flynn has issued to many of our student couples that same fateful marriage certificate which he has so skillfully avoided. lWe missed you this year, Mr. Flynn.l Besides teaching English and Journalism, Mr. Flynn also is in charge of the Night Rider. Mr. Scarvell, a real cool pedagogist if we ever saw one, teaches American History to the iuniors. An avid actor, Mr. Scarvell takes part in many of the plays put on by the Youngstown Playhouse and our own Shenango Valley Playhouse 600. Our debonair, MR. JOSEPH CANTELUPE, sopho- more English teacher, is the Beau Brummell of the Farrell High faculty in his very Adolph Meniouesque attire. Mr. Cantelupe, a well-known trumpet player in the Senango Valley, also has his own band. The music of Joe Cann's Orchestra has kept many a foot tapping at our school dances and our after- prom parties.
