QQ? he X - :h tht 'or D - nd H- ew O - Corinne R ohrer West l l l 1 I think a person re-evaluates and redefines his im- mediate and long-range goals constantly, as he himself and his situation change. As a high school student, my goals were to attend col- lege, study German, English, and history, study in Ger- many and probably become a teacher. Iwas influenced by the excellent instruction of the late Miss Coleman. I supposelhave attained these goals, with exception of the last one. I graduated from college, studied in Germany and hold a position of a teacher. That is, I give instruc- tion in German to high schoolstudents. But I have not yet become a teacher, particularly according to the example of Miss Coleman. That requires many years of experi- ence with students, instruction in the subject matter, gradual understanding of the classroom situation. The goal of becoming a teacher is not yet accomplished. During college it became clearer to me that my goals were not to be measured by pressures from society con- cerning social status and financial success . I chose teach- ing then, or rather chose to keep the goal of teaching be- cause this profession can be a service occupation, as a teacher I can perhaps contribute positivelyto society. To do this, one must develop an awareness, acceptance and understanding of other individuals' ideas, successes and problems. One's goal must include the kind of per- son one becomes as an individual and in relation to others in society. Ithinkthis is particularly true in the complex technological, electronic, massed American society. It is not enough to teach subject matter. I hope to teach students to accept and respect others, to become aware of other people and problems outside of their local com- munity, of the severe social and international problems We as Americans face today, to value education rather than mere grade point average, to demand high standards of achievement, according to each student's ability. Myimmediate goalis to complete work for a master's degree at Temple University and teach abroad in a so- called 'underdeveloped' country or in an American ghetto. Another specific goal is to travel as much as possible and in the distant future raise a family. ll -Corinne Rohrer West

The Pequoian Staff of 1968 has chosen the theme of learning, We have sought to ex- emplify our theme with some subject which strongly depicts our goal. With much thought we discovered that the best advertisement for a school was the success ofthe students them- selves who have used their experiences and knowledge to broaden their horizons to en- rich mankind. Thus, we have selected a few alumni from various fields as ideals to pro- mote our school. Charles Hostetter, M.D. After graduating from Pequea Valley High School in May 1957, Charles Hostetter began work as a laboratory technician at the Armstrong Cork Com- pany Research and Development Center three days later. Continuing work there for the next four subsequent years he took evening courses at Franklin and Marshall College and concentrated on science and mathematics, and par- ticularly chemistry. ln August of 1961 he resigned his job in the laboratory and in September of the same year enrolled as a full time student at Goshen College, Goshen, Indiana. ln june after two years at Goshen he received his Bachelor f A t , o r s Degree with a major in chemistry. I-le began his medical training in September of 1963 at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia. During the following busy and exciting four years he received his medical training. Among the high- lights of his medical school experiences were a research project, carried out in the Department of Pharmacology and a three month term spent work- ing at a mission hospital in Nicaragua. Another rich supplement in his career was the position he held as dormi- tory counselor at the University of Penns lva ' .
