This group of educators has dedicated many years to this profession, and it is our hope that someday all the students who have graduated from Otto-Eldred will realize the contribution our teachers have made. Those students who go on to college will assuredly benefit from the excellent instruction they receive in this high school. They may not realize just how impor- tant this preparation is to them until they are actually in college, but they will constantly Gnd themselves ap- plying thc training they acquire here. Many of the students who are walking through the halls of our school will be enabled to go on to greater things because of the education received here. Our fac- ulty is preparing these young men and women for the life they will be leading in the years to come. The value of this knowledge obtained by the guidance and tutelage of the faculty here at Otto-Eldred will one day be seen o W ff ff! X , f X., fl , ' 1 ix ,::5 5

Va Wann a 7751. Scaaqm Q Mr. Swoyer, who came to Otto-Eldred from Austin High School in 1944, has contributed nineteen years of educational service to our school. Born in 1899, he spent his childhood in Renovo, Pennsyl- vania. Later he attended Lock Haven College, where his Bachelor of Science Degree was earned, and St. Bonaventure University, where he received his Master of Science Degree. Mr. Swoyer now teaches general science, physics and chemistry. Before entering the teaching profession he worked as a store attendant for the railroad for ten years. This gave him the opportunity to travel on almost every track throughout the United States. His jukebox is one of his most prized possessions, for he himself built it in 1942 and 1943. This shows his great enthusiasm for music and has also led him to acquire over fifteen hundred records which he keeps in his stock room and at his home. Mr. Swoyer enjoys collecting maps, indicating the numerous rail- road tracks in Pennsylvania, and pamphlets about railroad cars. He also enjoys hearing the Weatherford Quartet and other gospel sing- ers. It has been a great honor to have Mr. Swoyer as a member of our faculty and we are certain that he will be missed o 17
