IT is the faculty of Mineola High School which figures most signifi- cantly in the daily lives of our students. Every member of the faculty has been instrumental in shaping our careers. We wish to express our sincere grati- tude for all they have done for us; for being patient with us; for their able in- struction and good fellowship. We hope all they have taught us will remain in- delible in our minds. This past year, the war has greatly increased the responsibility of the fac- ulty. Besides carrying out the usual academic program, the teachers have given up much of their valuable time to assist the administration in carrying out an effective war program. It was the teachers who sat long hours after school, rationing sugar, gas- oline, oil, coffee, and canned goods. It was the teachers who took charge of the sale of war stamps and bonds all year round and during our War Bond Rally. It was the teachers who made our Victory Corps possible by provid- Mr. Kenneth Hafner. Miss Gertrude Hall. Miss Josephine Harrington, Miss Barbara Hobbs, Miss Elizabeth Howard. Miss Beatrice Hubbard. Miss Ruth M. Keesey. Mr. John N. Kelsey. Miss Helen Jordan, Miss Elaine Lindenberg, Miss Esther Luyster. Miss Violet Lynde, Miss Kathryn McClellan. M:ss E’izabeth Miller. Miss Doris Morley.
