A MUSIC MAN Mr. Howard Rockwin started his musical career at the age of 13. His father was a professional musi- cian and Mr. Rockwin would play at weddings and other catered af- fairs with his father. In high school, Mr. Rockwin switched instruments from piano to bassoon. Mr. Rockwin was the youngest student of Sandy Sharoff, first bassoon in the New York Philharmonic. Bradley University offered him a scholarship for a double major in pre-med and music. In his first year, he switched to only music. But Mr. Rockwin transferred after one year to Northwestern Universi- ty to study with Wilie Simpson, a member of the Chicago Sym- phony, and to play in the school's orchestra. Mr. Rockwin feels Willie Simpson was the greatest in- fluence on his life. After college, Mr. Rockwin was offered jobs with several sym- phonies such as San Antonio, Kan- sas City, and even New Zealand. He preferred teaching and he started teaching at Mepham in 1970. He was Assistant to the Chairman of the Music Depart- ment. In 1976, he planned the first exchange trip to Europe. On every off year, the school also goes to on a domestic trip. The trips, Mr. Rockwin believes, gives the band and orchestra a cohesiveness which is one of the most important features of a student's education. Mr. Rockwin’s experience has added to the quality of Mepham's music as well as the attitude of the students. This makes him worthy of recognition. — Eileen Rosen RICHARD MARLBOROUGH Business CHARLES MARTONE Social Studies STELLA MASCIA Office Staff ARLENE MATTHEWS Office Staff ELIZABETH MACAUL Office Staff JAMES McMANUS Special Ed VALERIE MERRIL Social Studies L.
