DR. HEN RY SCHOETTNER MISS MILD RED SANFORD Secretaries of tomorrow are trained by Miss Sanford in the commercial unit of our school. Miss Sanford entered the University of Vermont and received her Bachelor of Science degree. In addition to her regular duties as a commercial teacher, Miss Sanford acts as conscience and adviser to the yearbook staff. A bedraggled, brown poodle named N'est-ce-pas receives most of Miss Sanford's after-school attention. Doc certainly managed to travel a bit even before he purchased his famous fire-engine-red T-Bird. He received his Bachelor of Science de- gree at Arizona State and took his pre-medical training at that college, plus Central College and Michigan State. Doc continued his study at Boston College and Kansas College. Although Doc is a certified M.D., he pre- fers to teach science and is spending much of his time at the University of Connecticut learning the art of instruction. MRS. RUTH SWAN Mrs. Swan, who came to Old Lyme seven years ago because she heard there wasn't any snow here, is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire where she received her Bachelor of Science degree. Mrs. Swan is the director of Home Economics in the junior and senior high school. Her after-school hours comprise a con- stant vigil as to the whereabouts of her three cats, Moppet, Stinky, and Lady Whiffenpooff' You, the faculty of the Old Lyme High School, are the hope of the future. Upon you rest many important decisions. You must teach the pupils of Old Lyme to cope with the world of tomorrow. You must teach our pupils to climb ever upward to reach their respective goals. Hold fast to your ideals and standards. Never lower your aim or settle for less than the best. Show initiative, individuality, and independence throughout your work, and you will prepare our students for a happy and fruitful life. You are teaching the masters of tomorrow's world. The youth of Old Lyme are depending on your leadership! JOHN A. SMALL, Superintendent

STUDENT COUNCIL The activities of the Old Lyme Student Council are evidence of the fact that there is continuing leadership in our school. Leaders of past councils, either by directing or following the desires of the student body, have established many activities which have become traditions in the Old Lyme High School. These include the annual Community Christmas Proiect, the yearly Career Day Program, the Spring Festival, the Twirp Dance, helping with the school political activities, and the establishment and sponsorship of such institutions as the Traffic Squad and the Traitic Court. They have led in the creation of a school emblem and the adoption of a standard school ring. This year's council has continued the spon- sorship of the proiects. However, it has not stopped there. lt has proven that in Old Lyme the spirit of leadership is still strong, and that the desire continues for ever greater cooperation among students and for the improvement of standards. Among the proofs of this are the establishment of a new Code of Conduct for Old Lyme students, and the revision and strengthening of the Stu- dent Government Constitution for the consideration of the entire student body. May the Student Council continue to grow and be an influence in our school and community. RUTH PREST 12
