TEACHER MCDST lt is impossible to thank all of the dedicated faculty members who have devoted their time and efforts to education of the students of I.H.S. These are a few of the people to whom we owe special thanks. t was only a mere idea before Mrs. Sanchez and Mrs. Deffen- it life. It is now an annual publication illustrating works talented young artists and writers. We are extremely such dedicated faculty members. Vince Bernucci must mentioned when speaking of Stone Soup. His help in the printing Soup has indeed won him a vote of thanks. Charlie Brown was an enormous success that earned over one thousand dollars for scholarships. The major portion of the production was made pos- sible by Ray Rogoway. He acted as a producer and chief technician. His devotion to his students and his dedication to his work has made Mr. Rogo- way a most admired and popular faculty member. Mrs. Gillespie has been the instructional Team Leader of the English Department since lndependence's beginning in 1976. She has never hesi- tated to help a student with a problem. Her devotion and sincere sense of caring has enhanced her stay at I.H.S. Not often enough do we express our gratitude to the outstanding librarians. Betzi Akerstrom is one librarian to whom we owe a special thank you. She is never hesitant to help a student with an important project or an entire class with their term papers. Many teachers depend on her to select books and research materials. Without warm and helpful librarians like Betzi, the library would be just another room filled with books. 'k'ki k Faculty 285
