Two Retiring Teachers End Long Service GERALDINE M. COOLEY As a teacher in the Social Studies Depart- ment since 1930, Miss Cooley kindled by means of her own enthusiasm and knowl- edge, the interest of literally thousands of students in the study of European and United States history. Her wide travel here and abroad enabled her to enrich her instruction and to share her personal observations with her pupils. She had the faculty of inspiring creative and original work from her students which ranged far beyond the limits of classroom text books. She took pride in her students' accomplishments and set high standards of scholarship for them. As the sponsor of the World Friendship Club, Miss Cooley demonstrated her con- cern for promoting international good will through mutual knowledge and understand- ing. Retirement gives her the opportunity to add to her first-hand knowledge of the world, she has embarked upon an extensive tour of Europe and the Near East. Although we shall probably forget many details of history that we studied under her tutelage, we shall remember Miss Cooley as a good -teacher and friend. HERBERT A. STINE In the thirty-eight years that Hub Stine has played a dominant role in Plainfield High as teacher, coach, supervisor, and Di- rector of Athletics, our physical education program and our athletic teams have won national recognition and praise. His boys have gone on to win fame not only in the sports world, but also as leaders in every field of endeavor. After five years of apprenticeship in West- field, Hub joined the Plainfield High faculty in 1921. He was head football, base- bal, and ice hockey coach until 1936, and a glance at the record will show that he was one of the best. Although he eventually gave up these duties, he never lost an opportunity to root for Cardinal teams and to impart some of his own enthusiasm and fighting spirit to the players. Plainfield High School Field, the envy of most schools and colleges in the state, was planned, developed, and nurtured by Mr. Stine. These fine facilities and splendid play- ing fields are a testimony to his expert and constant supervision. Appointed Supervisor of Physical Educa- tion in 1936 and then Director in 1953, Mr. Stine has led his department in its growth from two teachers in Girls' Phys. Ed. and two in Boys' Phys. Ed. to its present staff of ten gym teachers and two Driver Training instructors. The years have lain so lightly on his burly shoulders that it is difficult to think of Hub as ready to retire. We are glad that he waited to graduate with the class of '58. We look forward to seeing him pacing the sidelines at PHS games for many years to come.
