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.

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.

As the iunior class advisor, MRS. VICTORIA BARBU is in charge of all the yearly business ventures un- dertaken by the iunior class to raise money for the prom. Between her time spent selling candy, ink pens and shakeroos, Mrs. Barbu works harder than ever teaching her courses in English grammar and liter- ature. Some years ago during Farrell's Silver Jubilee, Mrs. Barbu was crowned Miss FarreIl and reigned over all the festivities of the Jubilee. MR. TUDOR LEWIS, presently serving as head of the Industrial Arts department, formerly coached Farrell High's basketball teams. lMr. Lewis himself was a former basketball star at Westminster College.l In the same Silver Jubilee that Mrs. Barbu reigned, Mr. Lewis was none other than - King Ferdinand in the Columbus Discovers America pageant. Well, now! Not many people can boast of the fact that they financed Christopher Columbus' voyage to America! MR. SAMUEL CAMPAGNA, JR., caught here leaving the high school on one of his many daily trips to the iunior high, is the choral director of the Farrell schools. A fine musician himself, Mr. Campagna plays in several local orchestras. His concert choirs and A Cappella choirs, both here at the high school and at the iunior high, have been recognized far and wide as some of the finest musical groups in the state. 12
