John Richard Abel, a man who feels that he has much In common with Kermit the Frog, is Math Department Head. In his two years at Central, he has run the Choir along with Mrs. Simonsen. If not a teacher, Mr. Abel hints that he ' d probably be retired. Richard Bubbles Blosdale is an agitated individual who indentifies, nevertheless, with Loni Anderson. A 24 year-old at heart, he would be an engineer if not a teacher. This is a year of homecoming for Dick, who attended Central as a student. Welcome back! Colin Chick Chisholm is one veteran yearbook staff advisor who is relieved that his involvement in this capacity ends this year. Mr. Chisholm will have more time to pursue his outside interests, which include bowling, cigars, and American football. Charlie Cunningham is an en- tertainingly shrewd, demanding Head of Moderns. It seems that his no-nonsense approach works when he ' s coaching Football as well, as evidenced by the relative success of the Juniorteam. Barbara Dalrymple, in her 5th year at Central, is known for her frequent cry of Stop talking and start typing! Mrs. Dalrymple is perturbed by students who don ' t have their own typing paper. No wonder her secret ambition is to retire! A person of electric construct is Mr. Demaray, guru of the Resource Centre. In this, his second year here, Mr. D has organized the Rock Hound Club. He and his dedicated troupe have explored and collected, and maintain several mineral displays for the neophyte majority. Mr. Fryday is unfortunately leaving after one year at Central in which he contributed his skills and personality as both a teacher and staff advisor for the Hockey team, and Christian Fellowship Club. We wish him further success as he assumes the position of Depart- ment Head of Geography at Laurier. Mr. Gawley, in his initial and final year here, captivated his classes with his wit and use of practical examp les, ie. students, to enlighten his charges. His contribution to the athletic scene was made as Bad- minton coach. His untimely leaving is lamentable.

Katherine Kit-Kat Hanna is 19 going on 16. If not a teacher, Mrs. Hanna would be a doctor, perhaps with help from the kind of students that come to class in full surgical dress to dissect their foetal pigs. Her favourite late excuse is, Well, I slept in, but did you have a good holiday, Mrs. Hanna? Harry Homer is a cheerful 12-year veteran of Central, where he satisfies his ambition to become a dogcatcher. His favourite late ex- cuse is, the train had a flat tire. He plans to live to be ninety, when he ' ll be shot by a jealous husband. Phys. Ed. Head Miss Innes keeps busy coaching Junior and Senior Volleyball, Junior Basketball, and Track. She also acts, along with Mrs. Rehorn, as staff advisor to the S.A.A. Miss Innes is both respected and admired by students whose trust she has easily gained. Mrs. Janitis has spent her two and one-half years here in a variety of unusual pursuits. These include winning a basketball shortly before her daughter was born, working on a vaccine to cure run-on sentences, and handling the Debating and Science Fiction Clubs. Mr. Koenen, in his first year at Central, was Waterpolo coach and Staff advisor to the Student Council when not teaching History classes. His photo appears in a candid shot at the end of this section. NO PHOTO AVAILABLE Joe Teacher of the Year Kraemer taught Chemistry and coached our successful Curling teams this year. Interested in the administrative aspects of education, Mr. Kraemer was ac- claimed a trustee in the Separate School Board. Peter Lawson lends humour in providing practical information on technically-related career op- portunities, as well as the certain know-how of experience in his teaching of Industrial Arts. Mr. Lawson is also interested in Cross- country Skiing, as evidenced by his invention of all-weather skis. Mr. Leach has long served Central through his teaching of Industrial Arts and his work in Guidance, where he has demon- strated profound care for the school and its students. This sincere in- volvement with the school is commendable in him and others who act in a similar capacity.
