Mr. Danowski Advanced Mathematics Mr. Coulombe English A foreign language is becoming almost a necessity in today s world of travel and close correspondence with other countries. This year the everyday doss was supplemented by weekly proctice in the new language laboratory. Here students con record their own voices to improve their pronunciation or just listen to a for- eign radio broodcost. Additional practice can be hod in the extra- curricular longuage clubs. Eoch Christmas, these clubs meet in the lobby for their annual party. French, Spanish, German, Latin, and Russian students sing songs or act out skits from their respective countries Perhaps with its great influence in our school, the study of foreign languages may be the gotewoy to better understanding and peoce among notions Mr. Costello Geometry Mr. Christopher Band Miss Campbell History Mr. Breitner Biology, Earth Science Mr. Brown Typing, Clerical Secretarial Practice

Principals Mr Horton, vice principal; Mr. Hendrickson, principal Mr. Hendrickson makes rules and regula- tions, when needed, to guide the students, dismisses students from school ond attends administrative meetings. At one time or another, you may have seen Mr Hendrickson at the back of the classroom. He was observing different teaching methods and seeing how well the teachers handle their classes Mr. Horton states that discipline, though important, is only a small part of his job. He co-ordinates the Guidance Department, is in charge of Regents exams and of fire ond Civil Defense drills. He sees that each person has a locker near his homeroom, a study hall seat during his free period, and • assigns parking spaces Each spring he makes a complete schedule for the next year; each marking period he decides the require- ments for the Honor Roll ond ineligible list In his spore time Mr Horton acts os the Wheel Club's odvisor. Working as a team, Mr Hendrickson and Mr. Horton co-ordinate our high school's activity and delegate authority to those best qualified to carry out the job As a result, they hove made PDSHS into one of the best schools, in all respects, in the country. Guidance Counsellors Mr. Scherer, Miss Wallace, Mr. Kantor, Miss Snyder A second home and familiar place to us all is the Guidance Office Whether it was Sophomore scheduling problems or Senior col- lege jitters, our capable counsellors have al- ways been on hand to allay our fears. The office hos been enlarged to (eventually) ac- commodate six counsellors. In the mean- time, however, Miss Wallace, Mr. Scherer, Mr. Kantor, and our newest addition, Miss Snyder, have done as much and more than six. Mr. Kantor entered P.D.S.H.S. with us Seniors and had to cope with all of us for two years. This year, with a new division of the classes, no counsellor has hod one whole class Rather, the classes have been divided into sections, by letter, with a counsellor for each section In this way, no one has been neglected for any length of time The underclassmen join the Seniors in thanking these wonderful people for all they have endured and done for us.
