The Class of 1949 is deeply indebted to its teachers. We are proud to say that they are the ones who taught us everything we know. There are little things which we will always remember about Hicksville High School. Many of them are the things our teachers did or said that made a lasting impression on us. How many of us will ever forget the summons to Miss Farley's office and the talks we received there. Miss Parley was always ready to praise our good deeds and condemn our faults. We will never forget Ur. Le Barron’s cheery greet- ings in the hall and the smile that was meant just for us. As for our teachers there aie minute qualities and mannerisms which we will re- member forever. Such as Mr. Laucks and the nickels which he collected for pencils. . . . Miss Wood, her friendly advice, and her clear explanations of Shakespeare. . . . Miss Byerly, who never let us out of Art class five minutes ahead of time no matter how good a reason we had. . . Mr. Burckley, one of our chaperones on the senior trip and one of the greatest guys we know. We could always he sure that Mr. Burckley would never take offense when we made fun of his car. . . . Miss Jenkin, who was always after us to clean our lockers and who was so untiring in her efforts to make us the best secretaries in the world. . . . Miss Claik, who wanted us all to be model wives and mothers. ... Mr. Horne, the teacher who loved us all, we are sure, but nevertheless was always after us to get “those experiments in. . . . The smell of food drifting out of Mrs. Amato's cafeteria. . . . Miss Burt and the gleam which comes into her eyes every t‘me we get the right pronunciation of a French idiom. . . . Mrs. Feumnn, who was always ready to play the piano for us and was an untiring worker in all our student activities. . . . Mrs. Daly and her study hall. How can we ever for- get Mrs. Ualy's talks which were always so enlightening. . . . Miss Wetterauer and the stones of her travels which actually made us feel as though we had been there too. . . . Mr. Turner, his punishment which seemed to near the capital stage, and his efforts on behalf of our teams. . . . Miss Peterman and her timely advice and sug- gestions which always seemed to he given nght in the nick of time. ... Mr. Adams and his pleasant smile in spite of the dire consequences which faced us. . . . Miss Voll- raer, a pal as well as a wonderful teacher. We'll never forget the help she gave the staff of the newspaper and this yearbook. . . . Mr. Wellon, who helped us pass the Regents although he often wondered if wre leully wanted to pass. . . . Miss Wessel, v ho taught us to appreciate good litera- tuie, and who often kept us in so that we could learn our Sophomore vocabulary. . . . And we can’t forget Mr. Lief els, Mr. Glass and Miss Gallagher, who came to us this year but who have become a solid part of H. H. S.’s background. . . . Miss Underhill and her efforts to prepare us for higher mathematics. ... Miss Clinch, who never failed to find the book we were looking for and was never in a hurry to collect fines for overdue hooks. . , . Miss Francke and her look of disgust when we failed to clean our gym suits. ... Mr. Mille volte, the hero of all the boys and the friend of all the girls. ... Mr. Jaworski, who was always telling the boys some good sport stories in the corner of the gym. ... Mrs. Clapper, who never failed to say “Hi! in the halls. . . . Mr. Ellsworth, and his untiring efforts in making the scenery for our Senior Play. . . . Miss Spink, whom our musicians will r member as their guiding star and inspira- tion. . . . Mr. Seip, our new band teacher, who was the friend and pal of all. OUR Teachers
