Graduating aculty Miss Libby Krichesky, who has the singular honor of having taught every type of Eng class given at Grant, leaves here after 32 years this June. Coming toG1-ant in 1 She began her teaching career under Principal Alan Bittner. She has taught speech, combined freshmen English and history from their beginning 'sh 28 d journalism. Coaching drama, advising both Memoirs and Grantonian staffs, and acfgg as a chairman of the Ford Foundation E. E. progarn have also filled her years at Grant. Miss Krichesky began Grant's first Russian class during the 1959-60 school year. S studied Russian for one year and two siunmer sessions at the University of .Ca-liforn during 1932 and 1933. One of Miss Krichesky's fondest memories of Grant will be ofits administrations. G has always been fortunate in the administrators it has had. The faculty may not rea this because they have no way of making a comparison. In the mind of the administrato the good of the youngsters and faculty is always important, she emphasized. After 36 years in the teaching profession, Mrs. Idella Watson is retiring. Although sh is leaving Grant, Mrs. Watson is leaving behind a very lasting gift, the Ford Foundation' E. E. program. Mrs. Watson conceived and organized this program which has gaine national recognition for herself and for the Portland school system. The first step in this very successful program was a student discussion group held at Mrs. Watson's home December 18, 1947. They were so eager that I couldn't get them to go home. I was late for the faculty Christmas dinner that night, she recalled. As the program expanded, it was included in the school curriculum. Reed College profes- sors helped Mrs. Watson plan the program. Mrs. Watson has received national recognition for her work through stories printed in Parade Magazine and The Christain Science Monitor. The late Senator Richard Neuber- ger was so pleased with Mrs. Watson's work that he included an account of it in the Con- gressional Record of April 1, 1957. Credit was also given to Mrs. Watson in the Ford Foundation's first evaluation report of June, 1953. Another honor was the Mendofsky scholarship to Stanford she was awarded in 1952. At Ohio State University, she was a graduate assistant in psychology under Professor George J. Arps. The rest of her teaching career has been devotedto science and math- ematics. When I came to Grant, Principal Bittner gave me a choice. I chose math- ematics and I love it, she said. Mrs. Watson has enjoyed her teaching career and is rightfully proud of her part in the E. E. program. She feels that the young people of today, because of their ability to ac- cept responsibility a.nd because of their increased educational opportunities, are more mature than students once were.
