Lieutenants MINEOLA S classrooms are dominated by fifty-six learned individuals who comprise the faculty. For purposes of vengeance, various students have expressed na desire to exchange places with their teachers, but they ho no idea how often the faculty expresses this .e wish, conversely. Indeed, there are times when every student sings We Dreamed We Were the Faculty, per- haps often bitterly and with malice aforethc - ht. Many's the time when he has ranted and raved, and fussed and fumed because homework assign- ments were too long or too hard. Yet, whe-e v.ould a high school be without its teachers? Theirs is the duty to present the knowl- edge they have gained in an interesting and in- formative manner, so that it may be assimilated by the generally reluctant student body. In addi- tion, the faculty helps to advise the students in their many extra-curricular ‘es. Thus, it is their job to act as informer, v, and friend to each of their pupils. Besides beino fountains of learning, M.H.S.'s teaching staff has endeared itself to the student body through a variety of quaint expressions and associations. For example, who ran forget sitting in typing class, impatiently w0 ‘ a-t pound- ing away, but forced to sit cu ss Miller discoursed in her inimitable . aversion to chewing gum ... Or Miss PulvuMB merican Problems classes and her theses . . . Mr. Schwan and his string of terrifying adjectives climaxed with Great balls of sweat, people! . . . Miss Austen's assorted bandages . . . The astonishment caused by witnessing Mrs. Clendenny writing backward . . . Miss Lindenberg looking like the front cover of Voguj . . . Miss Smith's constant Now what did I do with — ? . . . Coach Haf- ner's jig at the conclusion of the Garden City . game . . . Mrs. Woolley's Latin classes, sprinkled liberally with French . . . Miss Proaper's feasts in study hall, given the crackling of candy wrappers . . . M jr's health classes . . . Miss Phillip's college advice: Syracuse is just the col- lege for you. . .. And what would Mineola High be with- out Miss Becken's dry humor . . . Mr. St. Hill's abounding interest in any school activity . . . Miss Gregory's reception as she walks into the boys' gym classes . . . Miss Hubbard to supervise class dances . . . Miss Mullen's red hair . . . Mrs. Engel- man's American Problems oral reports that pos- itively will not last more than one period . . . Miss Bills and her compositions . . . Miss Doedeyi- to collect money . . . Miss Carnegie to briqh the library with her bandbox appearance . . . This could continue indefinitely but why do so The best list would be compiled from more per- sonal individual memories and in all likelihood the faculty would never get a look at it! 8
