An Apple for the Teacher . . . An apple for the teacher will often do the trick, but at Lockport High we found that we also needed to polish the books. Our teachers proved themselves good sports and donated many hours to our ex- tra-curricular activities. Now the needle is in the groove: the Lock staff spins the wax and proudly presents our faculty and friends. Daymond I. Aiken CB.A., MSD, one of our teacher-authors, directed the student coun- cil in addition to helping us know our fig- ures in his Algebra I and ll, geometry, trig- onometry, and physics classes. Cur reward for a problem correctly solved was, That's just slick. We all love to drive the family car, and Howard T. Binstock CB.S.l, a newcomer to the faculty this year, taught us how to keep 'em rolling in his auto mechanics classes. With his general science, biology, and chemistry classes, Clinton O. Bismarck CB. AJ, is just Bizzy. School pranksters know well the meaning of his ninth hour classes. An appreciation for the higher things in life was gained after our four story climb to the Art I and ll, art appreciation, home liv- ing, and interior decorating classes of Cath- erine I. Bottino CB.S., A.S.D. To the band, chorus, and orchestra Ernest O. Caneva CB.A.l is known as Ernie. Lock- port l-ligh knows him as a music maestro who always conducts a winner with our high school band. We know his bark is worse than his bite, but we also know that Baymond Cher- ry's CB.S., lVi.A.J metal shop means good hard work. Combining business with his hobby, he introduced a new plastics course. TOP ROW: Mr. Aiken explains the nature of x-ray tubes to Iohn Gannaway.

Plorice Cherry CB.A.l teaches us that the United States is a grand place to live in her American and world history classes. Her frequent quizzes keep us on our toes. For our second term lessie Eggman CB.A.l, a neighbor from Ioliet, taught us the prac- tical side of maintaining a home in her food classes. The latest in new spring outfits were the efforts of her costume design and cloth- ing classes. Manana may have been on the hit parade, but it was no excuse in Lucile Em- mon's CPh.B., M.A.D Spanish or French class- es. American literature was her specialty in the English field. CNot photographedl. Edward Elink's CB.A., M.A.l civics and economic classes gave future Senator Clag- horns a chance in senate classroom ses- sions. As our dean of boys he coped with problem children. As director of athletics he arranged the sports activities of the school. Even though this should have kept him busy, he conducted a water safety class after school. Alice Gleason CB.S.l, better known to us as Miss Duggan, took her sophomore histo- ry class globe trotting, and her senior Eng- lish class did a little imaginary travelling as they studied modern literature. Her fresh- man classes concentrated on reading and writing. Helping the Lock literary staff to develop a flair for writing plus co-sponsor- ing the Iunior Red Cross kept her busy. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Lorina Goerz CB.A., Ph.M.l really threw life ropes to many of us in algebra and geome- try. Teaching general science and co-spon- soring the lunior Bed Cross made spare time an unknown quantity to her. What would our future l-lepburns and Barrymores do without the assistance of Al- ex L. Iohnsonius CB.A., M.A.l in the class plays? Latin is not a dead language when he teaches it. His interesting anecdotes and stories in world history added a pleasant note to many of our sophomore years. TOP: Mrs. Cherry locates an historical city for Chuckie Aumiller.
