Juniors Paulette Dumas and Ken Hasbrouck get message from Robert Frost on Mr. Johnson's bulletin board. ENSUSH DEPARTMENT Here in the United States English is the native tongue. Again this year, those devoted teachers pictured on the opposite page have worked to impress this fact upon us. Each year of our high school life, our skills in both using and enjoying English increase. Grammar workbooks and a daring knight called Ivanhoe are the main areas of concentration as freshmen. As sophomores we meet Julius Caesar, Brutus, Silas Mamer, Eppie and other characters from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and George Eliot's Silas Marner.” We continue a survey of literature, concentrating on that of our own country as juniors, flying from New York to Paris with Lindbergh and fighting Moby Dick with Captain Ahab. We also learn how to be specific in our writing, play heads we spell 'em, tails we mean 'em, and how to melt down three pages into one paragraph. Like homing pigeons, we then look back to England, just in time to see Macbeth return from killing Duncan and Hamlet decide that conscience doth make cowards of us all, during our senior year. But we must not be cowards. Now we must use what we have learned - this better communication with one another. Mr. Malcolm Musgrove, the popular freshman English teacher, graduated from Franklin and Marshall College with a BA and later an MA. His pet comments were: Close, but no cigar!” Stick around, we'll open keg of . . . Make it real. Crowds of people in his room, his flashy ties, his friendly hello recall his personality. 12

Miss Helen Finley we will always remember in many ways. The tenth graders for many years to come will recall all the ditto sheets they collected in World History. Among them, of course, are those relating to the unification of Germany and the Middle Ages. Those in Youth-in-Government will remember her ceaseless effort to advise us in politics. She is also the chairman of the faculty's Honor Society committee and is the advisor to the National Honor Society. Miss Finley received her AB from Albany State. Mr. William Tyler graduated from Tufts University and has a masters degree from Hofstra College. He teaches American History I and also an 8th grade class. We'll never forget his skin-diving and frogman stories. Mr. Owen Reynolds, who has a degree from Iona College and an MA from the University of Notre Dame, can almost always be seen carrying a pile of books with him. Mr. Reynolds appears very quiet, but when annoyed, takes on that Hercules look. He teaches 8th and 9th year history. Mr. Roy W. Croswell teaches the 11th grade honors group American history. Besides this class, Mr. Croswell teaches history in junior high. All right, kiddies, let's get to work now, shall we? Mr. Croswell graduated from New Paltz College. Mr. Roy Baldwin graduated from New Paltz and received his masters from Columbia. Mr. Baldwin teaches 9th grade history and also in the math department. Junior Red Cross members Irene Szymanski, Brenda Witt, and Shelley Temchin with their advisor Mrs. Mc-Entire display the American spirit of sharing with less fortunate nations.
