SCHOLASTIC BACKGROUND MR. WILLIAM I. PURNELL B.S. Kutztown State Teachers College P.O.D., World History, Senior Class Advisor. Because of the circumstances which usually bring a pupil and Mr. Purnell together for the first time, most students seem to fear having anything to do with Room 31. After having him as a teacher, however, they soon find that, except for his extra classes, he is one fo the wittiest, yet sincere, members of our faculty. Just like rnost parents, this father of two has teen-agers who like pop music and Elvis. His opinion of Elvis, as of all people he doesn't particularly like, is summed up in two words- no comment. MRS. FRANCES V. FREZEMAN Beaver College, B.A,, University of Colorado Junior and Senior English Mrs. Frezernan, who recently ioinecl the Mt. Penn faculty, originally taught German at Exeter High School. A ceramic- creating enthusiast and avid Xylophone player, she has be- come well-liked by her students in the short time she has spent with us. This is due, perhaps, to her friendly, yet sincere, personality. SI 33 Discussing the Supreme Court of the United States are, Anybody for literature? Left to right: M.

Penn is extremely fortunate to have, as a new addition to our faculty, Mr. Hamilton, in the ever-important mathe- matics department.

ASSISTS STUDENTS IN FUTURE CAREERS MR. RICHARD D. BISHOP, B.S. Bloomsburg State Teachers College Eighth Grade Mathematics, Business Math, Ticket Sales, School Bank, Usherette Club. After a busy day at school, Mr. Bishop, the proud father of two girls, especially enioys lust relaxing and listening to his hi-fi set. Mr. Bishop's subtle sense ot humor was depicted when he gave lucky students a surprise Christmas present from him-detention tor not handing in their ticket returns. MR. ALLEN R. SCHUTT, B.S. Kutztown State Teachers College Geography, Service Club, Senior Class Play. Tall, dark, and friendly. This expression might be a female's description of Mt. Penn's great geographer, Mr, Schutt, while talented, and humorous would more likely be a male's opinion. A tlair for dramatics and a keen sense of humor complete this snappy dresser's personality. Sports, classical music, and artwork interest this average American male. 34 35 Explaining a math problem are left to right Mr Bishop, Exploring the globe are, left to right: B.
