Dorothy Beau bien Yes, my heart of stone really does bleed for you! English students exceed school enrollment There are 2,650 students enrolled in Newbury Park High School, but 2,680 enrolled in English! Full classes, busy teachers, excitement about langua e and literature - all these descrie the English program in our high school. In one room is a beautiful driftwood mobile showing the symbolism of The Scarlet Letterp in another room, a Ken doll with five changes of velvet costumes - all for the miniature Hamlet. From another class comes the ringing tone of a modern-day Marc Antony. In still another room, students pore over a dictionary trying to get to the root of the root. Since the stud of English is a combination of the building of skills and the discovery of content, each English class, includin electives, offer all the aspects ofg English - reading, writing, speaking, conjuga- tion, declension, paragraphingl, ex- plication, understanding and t eme - and did you know that when Charles Darnay went to Paris .... Have you heard what is happening in South Africa .... and did ou hear and what do you think ....? 48 faculty Rita Brendon All of my students are memorable and I cannot single out one student or one event to tell-but I can tell you that I collect and save these fond memories, as one might save scraps of fine cloth, and I plan to make a beautiful patchwork quilt with them to keep me warm when I'm too old to teach. Ron Hertz I found it humorous twith a twinge of pain and sadness! that a few adults angrily criticized my classes because students are free to express themselves. leanette lennett My most memorable students have been those I have met this year at NPHS. Arriving as a new teacher medway in the lirst semester, I asked some of my classes to tell me of themselves and their needs. Instead of requests and complaints, I received notes of welcome and offers of help. Thanks-I think you're great. David Holmboe When I was student teaching, I entered my science fiction class dressed as Cyrano de Bergerac. I had a long, red cardboard nose, a poncho for a cape and a yardstick for a sword. Now that Ed Sullivan's show is gone, what's left? The Sonny Comedy Revue? Leland David No comment. Virginia Gangsei, D.C. One day in English 4 the students began to leave without being dis- missed. I asked them to sit down, ex- plaining that since I ruled so seldom, I wanted to be at least queen of dis- missal. The next day the students marched into the room with a pillow on which rested a sceptre. With it was a scroll signed by all her loyal subjects to Queen Virginia. Randy Nixon No comment. Tana Orshoff The most memorable students I've had are all the students I've worked with: The giggly ones, the serious ones, the sunshiny ones, the bored ones, the puzzled ones, the in- terested, the imaginative, the warm- hearted, the confused, the challenged, 11 Robert Miller My most memorable students are those who have received an A in my class.

Rick Scott As I complete my fourth year of teaching, I believe that all students are memorableg but some do stand out in my mind for various reasons. I remember students that smile and enjoy school. It's these students who get involved with whatever they do that make me feel that what I am do- ing is worth my effort. Roy Gilmore How could anyone forget the fond memories of little Chickie Hearn, Steve Apperson? I thought after last year no one could top you, but this year I found a new you in Bryan Torrey. Chris Sawyer No comment. john Uelman, D.C. All of my students are memorable, especially what's-her-name. lames Mcllwain No comment.

Never again will l deny that day unlucky. Faculty 147

ig., Arno Kanitz My most memorable teaching experience is the streaker who came in from the cold. Marcine Solarez No comment. William Reilly No comment. ludy Susan Urrutia One of the most memorable tand embarrassing! events during my teaching career at NPHS was when I had to deliver, straight-faced, a cer- tain line in the faculty play last year. For those of you who don't remember the line . . . good! Home Economics leanne Scanlin Many years ago, while addressing my very first class and trying to appear extremely mature, I very formally an- nounced, Now l shall pass out the cheating sarts -my first, but not last, blooper. Leonard Steele No comment. Nancy Biedebach Teaching, day by day, is a humorous experience in itself. Especially when you have students who do things like putting a whole onion in their soup when the recipe calls for onion to taste Edith Grossman While showing my students the proper way to cut lettuce, I had a protest from one of the girls. She told me that her mother had warned her against cutting it. The reason? The vitamins would fall out the ends! Amy DeWolfe I remember one of the boys from my co-ed foods class choosing classtime to prove to a friend his theory that an egg can stand great pressure end to end and not break. Either the theory was wrong or he slipped, the egg exploded 10 feet in all directions with a few of us in range. ,mf 632 E at E r h Mary Ann Revello No comment. Home Economics is involved with preparing high school students for the outside world. The subiects included in Home Economics teach the student to be independently wise with the basic knowledge of living away from home. English and Mathematics, courses which are required, aren't used on a daily basis. Everyday of his life, a student will put to use what he has learned in Home Economics-whether it's anywhere from handling money to handling children. Faculty 149
