MISS MARGARET ROUX, often known as Mlle. Roux tRool to her students, teaches French and is head of the Language Department at Farrell High. One of the highlights of a visit to the school during Na- tional Education Week is Miss Roux's French room 204, which her students convert yearly to a gay Pa- risian cafe. Much of her artistic talent is carried over into Miss Roux's world history classes, too, as she plans lovely displays of subiects, like the United Na- tions Buildings, and other protects related to her his- tory classes. See Dave, the bullets go in here and come out there. We must have been using crooked bullets. Here we see MR. DAVID SCHIRMER and MR. JOSEPH TOM- MINS inspecting the intricacies of a gun. Rumor had it that the fauna were pretty safe the past sea- son since neither one of them bagged very much, let alone a deer. Last reports have it that Mr. Schirmer, our Electronics instructor, is developing a deadly ray based on the principle of the proximity fuse. This contraption when fired in the woods will seek out the deer. Mr. Tommins, true to his theories of Physical Education, is going to do it the hard way. He'll am- bush them from a tree, with knife in hand a-la-Tar- zan. Seriously, both teachers are lovers of the sport and the great outdoors, and are respected and dedi- cated teachers. Mr. Tom'mins is the faculty adviser of the Key Club. ln addition to her duties as a math teacher, smiling MISS BESSIE STRUCK also is in charge of that great group of pepper-uppers - our cheerleaders. Miss Struck coaches and trains the girls and spends much of her spare time with them. Here she supervises Gloria Rossi and Angela Trenga as they prepare to make use of the new gold and blue shakeroos which the girls are using in their cheers this year. Miss Struck, when not teaching algebra, is a fine craftsman and does much of her own sewing and creates other obiects of art. J W vt mirnaanrr 'I 'ai-'lil .Q 3 tc S sv'

MISS OLGA GOJDICS, one of the well-known Goi- dics sisters of the Farrell High School faculty, teaches typing and business math to our students enrolled in the commercial course. Miss'Goidics is the treasurer of the Commercial Department and is in charge of the Farrell Teachers Credit Union. A kind-hearted and cheerful person, Miss Goidics revealed her more humorous side, too, when she confessed to us that her secret desire has always been to be - a ravish- ing redhead, no less! Our Miss Goidics?? MISS ALICE M. GRIFFITH, instructor in English and creative writing, has earned a reputation at Farrell High School as a teacher who is especially interested in those with whom she works. In addition to working with the girls in the Tri-Hi-Y Club, Miss Griffith spends much of her out-of-school time aiding youngsters at the Farrell Public Library. As proof of her able in- struction in creative writing, seven of Miss GriFfith's students had essays published in the National Essay Association Annual Anthology. MR. ALFRED MALA- TESTA, our popular Latin instructor, is another fac- ulty member who is a master of his field. Ask his students about ablative absolutes or Latin gerun- dives and you'Il get a correct answer every time. ln addition to heading the Latin Club, Mr. Malatesta is a well-known saxophonist in the Valley, an active faculty participant in the boys' intramural basketball program, and the director of the student Projection- ist Club. Signing in at his mailbox for the full day of school ahead is MR. JOSEPH DUICH, bookkeeping and elective typing teacher. More often than not, Mr. Duich's school day is an even longer one than that of the other teachers, for he encourages his faster students to work ahead of their class. Mr. Duich is a real bowling whiz, with an average of l62 in the Teachers' Bowling League, and is Vice-President of the Farrell Teachers' Organization, which is affili- ated, with the Pennsylvania State Educator's Associ- ation.
