I “A teacher is someone with a heart big enough to include a class- room full of kids. A teacher says to himself, ‘Things could be better. Maybe I can help.’ He has the tools of a craftsman and the eye of an artist. A teacher is not a precise, indifferent moldstamper but rather a sculptor seeking, searching, experimenting. He is one who encourages individuality within the framework of social ideals. A teacher is some- one who can still use a slingshot and who can see something logical in hanging upside down from a monkey bar. He is a pied piper, a substi- tute parent, a learned wiseman, a grand inquisitor (at times), and a confidant for some of the most important secrets in the world. Above all, a teacher is a working perfectionist, driving himself to learn as much, see as much and think as much as possible. He knows and feels in him- self that he will always be inadequate. This paradoxically is inspiration for the teacher knows that anything less than the best he can offer is dishonesty to a child.” (From the 1958 Paltzonian) Augustus C.

Ad ministration MR. A. C. GARELLE Supervising Principal Undoubtedly, in the years to come we will forget many of the facts, dates, and formulae which we assimilated during our years at Matti- tuck High. The impression which this school and our relationships with our Principal and our Teachers in it has made upon us can never be obliterated, however; it has become a perma- nent part of our personalities; it has laid a framework on which to build our lives. MR. ROLAND SHERWOOD Assistant Principal MISS BURNS and MRS. HAAS Secretaries
