Creativeness In Chairman, Dorcas Watters Bonnie Arnold Chery! Sue Bair Phila Bates Frances Case Mary Downing Linda Fenwick Alice Flint George Freeland Under the direction of Mrs. Dorcas B. Watters, the English Department strives to achieve better communication and more exact speaking among English stu- dents. The teaching of composition is now aided by new films and transparencies. Many new films and books have been pur- chased to aid in the teaching of other fields ot English. The English Department hopes to develop a greater appreciation of the art of writing through literature and writing creatively. Accuracy in spell- ing and grammar also forms a vital part of the English curriculum. A new curric- ulum-in-action idea this year is a two-day trip to New York City for fifty senior En- glish students. Even with these new edu- cation ideas the English Department is continually working on the curriculum.

Mrs. Wolf Mr. Paige Mr. Dorsino Principals Carl S. Paige, after twenty-four years of ser- vice to Rome Free Academy, has proven him- self to be one of the most tireless personalities ever to set foot in the halls of R.F.A. While few jobs are too small to reckon his thought, few jobs are beyond his ability. A Phi Beta Kappa from St. Lawrence University, Mr. Paige has served as the efficient go-between for the Board of Education, faculty, and the student association members. His familiar smile and resourceful ambition must earn him a place in the hearts of all those with whom he has worked. Mr. Frank Anthony Dorsino is Rome Free Academy’s Vice Principal in charge of boys’ discipline, a post which he has ably held for three years now. A former math teacher, Mr. Dorsino is always near; hearing a complaint from or about students and teachers. Mrs. Helen A. Wolf has with patience and a firm but careful hand administered to the problems of Rome Free Academy’s girls. Mrs. Wolf has the respect and the affection of those with whom she has worked. These are the chief school administrators of Rome Free Academy. Included was but a thumbnail sketch of the people who, it is our hope, will receive the cooperation of re- turning Sophomores and Juniors.
