Hoosac School - Owl Yearbook (Hoosick, NY)

Dedication to students both in and outside the classroom distinguishes Hoosac’s faculty, strengthened this year by five new members, Father Cannon, Mr. Durkee, Mr. Hartt, Mrs. Long, and Mrs. Sanderson. The teachers — young and enthusiastic — are armed with . . . a bountiful amount of inspired devotion to students and the philosophy of the school. They perform . . . virtually around the clock,’’ reported the Middle States Visiting Committee. Students sometimes feel that the attitude of Hoosac’s faculty proves that young in years does not necessarily mean young at heart, while faculty members sometimes feel that “around the clock” life with Hoosac students would give anyone a premature start on old age. This year the faculty was supplemented by part-time teachers who strengthened the Hoosac pro- gram in several areas including art, drama, photography, creative writing, and reading development.
