Each year, she has put forth her best effort to help students and has been a faculty advisor. She has exhausted herself time and time again grading research papers, exams or composition tests. She has often taken time out from her free periods to talk with students. This year Miss Mettler taught English Lit. I, English Lit. II, Composition, and Advanced Placement English. She was also faculty advisor to the Baccalaureate Committee. Miss Mettler was born in Akron and graduated from Buchtel High School. She then received degrees from Mt. Holyoke College and Case Western Reserve University. Before coming to Firestone she taught at Central High School. Her retirement this year ends a 35 year teaching career. Throughout her teaching ye ars, Miss Mettler possessed the rare traits that appear in all good teachers. Her patience, rapport with students, and under- standing have made her an invaluable part of our lives. She taught not only from the pages of many books, but she taught from her own experiences. Her retirement will prove to be a loss to future Firestone students. We, the VOLPLANE staff of 1976, dedicate the bicentennial yearbook to her, in appreciation of her service to the school. We wish her much happiness in all of her future endeavors. led 1 Spirit is something . . . 1.

This year five such people have completed all of their require- ments and are graduating with the class of 76 . Lori Oestreicher is graduating early because she wants to pursue her theatrical career by joining Up With People. After completing all of her re- quirements early, Gina Christoff de- cided that college was ahead of her, and she wanted to get started as soon as possible. Others graduating early are Kim Eckard, Mark Friese, and Cindy Propora. V.

His only professional work is to subsidize the other pic- tures he takes. Having received widespread recognition for his talent, this year he won two blue ribbons and was nominated for a Kodak Medallion Award in the regional division of the National Scholastic Art Contest. His favorite subjects are people, especially the very old and the very young. Although Eliot has not definitely decided to pursue a career in photography, he may consider a career in photo- journalism. He says that he will continue to try to capture instants of emotion until he is discovered by National Geographic Magazine Adell Cemmel thinks it ' s all a put on. 26 Senior HA ecorrjg fitTendants are driven around traiiel.d Ronald Forwark Jonathan Freitag DeniseFroud Keith Fulmer Timothy Furman Sheri Galat Kenneth Gapsch Robin Garner Vicki Gelin Adell Gemmell Marcia Gerke . a future as a secrejj Gary Ciller Karin Glenn Laura Godard 28 Karen Greibling has been writing music since the age of four.

He was born in the Phil- lipines, and from there moved to India, Eng- land, Brazil, and Aus- tralia before he arrived in Akron. He believes that by traveling he has been exposed to dif- ferent cultures and has become more aware of what is happening in other parts of the world. By living in all of these different coun- tries, Mike has learned to speak three lan- guages fluently. Al- though Mike likes liv- ing in Akron, he liked Australia the best and would like to return.

Actual- ly, Mark and Steve have spent many hours each week helping the men- tally retarded children of the Akron area. Both started out working at a day camp run and staffed by the West Akron Y.O.U.T.H., which stands for Youth Organized and United To Help. Steve has been involved in the group for three years, and Mark is presently the president. They meet weekly at St. Paul ' s Epis- copal Church to work with the children and take them to movies and other activities. All of their work is on a volun- tary basis. Their goal is to try to enable the retarded to live a happy and use- ful life.

She has been active in all types of dramatic productions here at Firestone and in community theaters. Lauren has been in three productions at the Weathervane, one at the Jewish Center, and one at school. She is also interested in pantomine and plans to do a number of mime shows with her teacher Bob Welker who has studied under Etienne Decroux, Marcel Marceau ' s teacher. The future may find more than stage acting for Lauren who has applied to the Ringling Brother ' s and Barnum and Bailey Clown College and hopes to become a clown and tour with the circus for a few years. ■■■■ Gary Taylor Virginia Thiell EmmyThomann Patricia Thomen Thomas Thrower 4 ml Kevin Tucker DebraTuhela Peter Tunnicliffe Karen Underwood Kenneth Underwood Brinda Burnham and Dan Riew prepare for the colonation.
