Mr. Brey, the school teacher, on the job . . gbecfication ln dedicating this edition of the Torch , the Class of 1958 wishes to honor Mr. Clifford J. Brey, a faculty member, for whom We have great respect and admiration. During the six years Mr. Brey has been teaching in the No1'th Coventry and Owen J. Roberts school systems, he has done much to prove himself worthy of our trust and confidence. His service to our school, as a teacher, class advisor, and administrative assistant, deserves much commendation. Mr. Brey has had extended teaching experience in several school systems. In the school year, 19122-1923, he was a teacher of the elementary grades one to eight in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. His next teaching position took him to Sumneytown, where he became principal of the junior high school, grades seven to nine. From 1925 to 1948, Mr. Brey held down the double position of teacher and coach in the Pennsburg Junior-Senior High School. The subjects he taught here were social studies, health, and physical education. Upon coming to North Coventrv in 1952, Mr. Brey became an instructor of civics and problems of democracy. Since then, however, he has taken on many extra responsibilities. Willingly and with no word of complaint, he has faithfully executed his obligations as faculty advisor. Mr. Brey has also eased the tremendous task and responsibility of operating our school by serving as an administrative assistant. Students who visit the office for other reasons usually take heed when he gives them friendly advice. In and out of class, Mr. Brev is well liked by his students. His keen sense of humor and rare ability to make any subject interesting have won him the close attention of many a class. An assembly program was not complete without one of Mr. Brey's amusing stories. Finally, as a senior class advisor, Mr. Brey was alwayslfriendly and sincere in guiding our class to make holiest and intelligent decisions as young Ame1'1C3HS in a democracy. At this time, we, the Class of 1958, wish to show our appreciation to Mr. Clidord J. Brey for the many things he has done for us as individuals and for our school. To Mr. Brey, we say Thank you. 4 . . and Mr. Brey, the sportsman, enjoying a favorite pastime l .m.-... .. -.-......
