DEDICATION. After 32 years of teaching and counseling at M-RH, Mr. Warren Coy plans to retire to Cuba, Mo., where he and his wife have built a home. Mr. Coy has been a full-time counselor for 10 years. Before that he was a part-time counselor for 10 years. He got involved in counseling because he has always been interested in trying to help students solve their problems and in talking with them.” He began working on a degree in counseling in the early 1940's. Mr. Coy first started teaching in a rural school in 1933. All eight grades were in one class. After teaching at Riverview Gardens, he left for one year and went to work in the personnel department at Sunncn’s. He applied for a position at M-RH in 1943. He first look a job as a physical education teacher. Later, when a social studies vacancy occurred, he changed to that field. Besides counseling, Mr. Coy also has coached freshman basketball and helped coach track. In his years of teaching, Mr. Coy has had no regrets. He said. If I were to relive my life, I think I would follow a similar route.” He enjoys being with people and helping them. For Mr. Coy it has been a happy, busy and full life of helping people learn from books and from life. Mr. Fred Larason will also be ending his last of 32 years at M-RH. He has been teaching science since he came to M-RH. Mr. Larason originally wanted to be an engineer. However, the depression hit while he was attending Maryland College. He stayed there because it was less expensive than transferring to another university to work on an enginei ring degree. Before coming to M-RH. Mr. Larason was the superin- tendent of schools in Oregon, Mo. He decided that he preferred teaching to administration. He heard of an opening at M-RH from a friend and so came to M-RH to begin his first of 32 years. • • Mr. Larason has not only been a teacher. He coached two athletic teams. For 27 years he coached B team basketball and for five years he was the varsity baseball coach. Mr. Larason and his wife are going to move to Indian Hills Lake in Cuba, Mo., after his retire- ment. He plans to do a lot of fishing, golfing, gar- dening, traveling, and beating Mr. Coy in bridge. Mr. Larason said that he will miss the students, the staff and the athletics, all of which have been a part of his life for so many years. In June, Mrs. Swann completes 18 years at M- RH. She began her teaching career in North Caro- lina and completed seven years in two elementary schools. After moving to St. Louis, she taught first grade at Bruce school. She then became a substi- tute in this district for four years. She substituted in every grade and in every type of class, includ- ing shop. Later she became a full-time teacher of social studies classes and then English classes. Now she teaches English to freshmen. Mrs. Swann believes that high school is the stu- dent's opportunity to learn. Mrs. Swann feels that the biggest change in the students has been that a few more students are not as ambitious. She said, M-RH students are fine young people and 90% are good citizens.” Mrs. Swann feels M-RH is a fine school. She has never made a request for supplies that hasn’t been furnished. The school has always had a good fac- ulty and her association with all the teachers, from those who have retired to the new young teachers, has enriched her life. Mrs. Swann’s plans after retiring are to relax which includes sleeping late. She wants to become more active in the church, join ladies’ clubs, visit her ch iIdrcn in California, and garden. Mrs. Swann may also continue teaching a course for high school equivalency which she now does one night a week. Together, Mr. Warren Coy, Mr. Fred Larason, and Mrs. Loraine Swann have spent 82 years as educators at M-RH. They have been dedicated to giving their students the best possible education and guidance. M-RH will truly miss these three people who have given so much to others. We proudly dedicate the 1975 yearbook to these three educators who will long be remembered. 2
