Slowing down from this demanding task, Mr. Lloyd Marengo, physics instructor, and mathematics teachers, Mr. Bernard Broderick, Miss Louise Smith, Miss Louise Pederson, Mr. Clarence Fulmek, and Miss Margaret Paschke calculate money exchanges. Urging Minds To New Areas Doubtfully listening to Mr. Reno Rossini as he relates his famous lecture on the probability of life and flying saucers in outer space are Mrs. Lucille Smith, Mr. Robert Ritter, and Mr. Eugene Pose. Included in Mr. Ritter's biology curriculum is the collection and classification -of insects and leaves. Valuable manual training is taught by Mr. Pose in his metal and wood shop classes.

Gathered around a globe, these history teachers discuss world affairs. ln the individual social studies classes, time is given for group discussion on current events. From left to right are Mr. .lohn Mather, Miss Virginia Fertig, Mr. George Rose, Mr. Charles Rogers, Mr. Bernard Quinn, and Mr, Alexander Heron. Guiding Students' Destinies Foreign language instruct-ors, Mr. Bill Addison, Latin, Mrs. Mary Burks, Spanish, and Mrs. Nancy Peterson, German, are discussing their respective languages. Having formerly taught out of state, this is Mrs. Burks and Mrs. Peterson's first year at Murray. As a further enrichment program, Mr. Ad- dison has excelleraied a portion of his second year Latin students. They are receiv- ing the equivalent of second and third year Latin in one year. Comparing the results of students' phy- sical fitness tests are Mr. Vernon Petersen and Mrs. Patricia Fritsche, physical educa- tion instructors. Mr. John Pearson seems to be a bit doubtful about a recorded achieve- ment. Mrs. Fritsche looks to Mr. Petersen for support in verification. Mr, Pearson, although a science teacher, has a special interest in Murray's physical education status. During the winter season, Mrs. Fritsche's and Mr. Petersen's classes alternate days in the gymnasium and study hall. ig l
