OUR FACULTY They Give The SCOOP We are prone to criticize our teachers, but when we stop and think, wc realize the guidance and help they have given us. The faculty of Port Allegany High School have not only taught us facts from text books but also cooperation, teamwork, and sportsmanship. They have helped us when things were going smoothly and they have given encouragement to us when we were ready to give up in despair. At this time the class of ’51 extend their most sincere thanks to each and every one of the faculty for their interest in both our school work and in our extra-curricular activities. Miss Eleanor Snyder B.S. N.C. To mention all the merits of our popular commercial teacher would be a difficult task. She is particularly noted for her willingness to advance student activities. Miss Snyder is not only a dependable teacher but also a good friend to all. Mr. Rudzinsky B.S. Mr. Rudzinsky is one of the newest members of our present faculty. He came to our school shortly after having served three years with the United States Army Air Force in the Pacific theater of action. Mr. Rudzinsky received his Bachelor of Science Degree at St. Thomas College, now Scranton University. Since that time he has taught for twelve years, the last three of which have been at Port Allegany. fourteen

THE ADMINISTRATION PRINCIPALS Mr. Hardy B.S. Mr. Bates, who is the principal of the Senior High School, has competently instructed students of PAHS for twenty-one years. In addition to teaching biology and plane geometry, he is the advisor of both the Sophomore class and the Biology club. Although Mr. Bates' chief interest is centered around the Sophomores, he is well liked by all of the students and his judgment is respected. Strange as it seems, even though we graduate our teachers and principals remain behind to instruct and oversee future classes of students. Foremost among these is Mr. Hardy who for twenty-one years has capably fulfilled the office of supervising principal. He can usually be found busy at work in the office. He is always ready and willing to advise or help the students. The Seniors express their sincere appreciation for his work. thirteen Mr. Bates B.S. M.S.

Mrs. Loraine Gillen A.B. Mrs. Gillen teaches history, French, and business arithmetic. She efficiently fulfills her duty as Junior class advisor by her untiring efforts to help raise funds for the various class activities. We remember Mrs. Gillen best for her three minute tests in Junior history but also we remember her for those long talks held in her home room after school. She always has a willing ear for all our troubles and usually has a word of comfort for us. Mr. Cecil Gamble Mr. Gamble is the coach of our basketball and track teams in Port Allegany High School. He is well known and popular with all the students. Our 1951 basketball team is a fine example of the work he has done. This team, the best in the history of our school, has responded with willingness to his advice. Mr. Gamble has also re-organized the track team. Mrs. Hanna D. Nadolske B.S. As we recall the four years with Mrs. Nadolske, we find many pleasant memories. She has worked with untiring patience teaching Latin and Junior English. She makes Latin easy to grasp and is always willing to spend hours, if necessary, to enlighten the students. Junior English classics become a living story under her guidance and explanation. Besides being the Senior class co-advisor, she is director of the Latin Club. Mr. Raymond Poole B.S. Mr. Poole, as does every good coach, stands out in our memory for our football team. Since he has been here, Port has acquired an excellent record of athletic achievement. Mr. Poole has a nice personality and the students have a great respect for him. In addition to football, Mr. Poole teaches health, economics. Sophomore history and driving. He sponsors the Varsity P Club and is coadvisor of the Sophomore class. fifteen
