..On The Rodd To Living Mr. Strang, Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Traister, Mr. Laughlin Boys of Redbank who wish to be a country style carpenter, Till the soil or manage a dairy herd have at some time been associated with one or more of these men. Mr. Strang, a native of Kittanning who raises rabbits for a hobby, holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Penn State, as does Mr. Cunningham, who enioys play- ing cards and square dancing. Both men are concerned with agriculture. Mr. Traister, who lives on a farm, has a Master's equivalent from California State Teachers College. Mr. Laughlin, a native of New Bethlehem and pilot in World War ll, has two children and makes a lot of his own furniture. He has a MasTer's degree from Pill. Mrs. Minich, Mrs. Wetzel In our school we have two leaders, and each of these leaders has a right-hand girl. Mrs. Min- ich is found in Mr. Kata's office, and is always ready to help, whether it concerns tablets for a homeroom, an announcement, or a supply of cellophane tape. She graduated from Redbank Valley High School the first year it was formed and is active in church work. Her husband has recently returned from the service. Mrs. Wetzel is not only concerned with the high school, but also with the elementary schools in out-lying districts. She is usually quite busy attending board meetings. A graduate of New Bethlehem High School, she resides in New Bethlehem. Teciching ee Country Style How difficult it must be for a teacher to cope with over a hundred different personalities each day! We students probably never realize how busy our teachers are kept here at Redbank Valley. Not only must they prepare their daily class work, but they must also keep attendance, make tests, grade proiects, check homework, sponsor clubs, keep a homeroom, chaperone dances and parties, act as a listening post for The talkative student, or as a wailing post for the complaining one. Their duties seem to go on and on endlessly, but somehow they still have time to be human and friendly. Remember the time Mr. Caruso and Mr. Caldwell had 8:00 classes to take care of those students whose daily schedules were filled? Or do you remember how Mr. Kata always support- ed the athletic program? Mrs. Campbell always baked cookies forthe senior prom and Mr. Abra- ham was chief pepper-upper at the pep rallies. Don't forget the Latin class's Roman Dinner with Mrs. Dovenspike presiding, or Mrs. Caldwell and Mrs. Conrad's Shakespeare records and Julius Caesar. Miss Boarts with her active choir . . . Mrs. Filson with her advice to the future secre- taries . . . taking exercises with Mr. Rutkowski counting . . . these are only a few of The many memories that come to mind. Memories of our faculty will always remain in our hearts!
