ADMINISTRATION DONALD S. KEELER ARNOLD D. GREENE EDWARD A. NETSKI Director of Education, DONALD S. KEELER, received his A.B. from Colgate University. Both his M.A. and M.S. degrees were granted to him from Columbia Uni- versity. At present, Mr. Keeler is working toward his doctorate at Cornell. An active community leader, he has little time for hobbies but enjoys golfing and bowling. A staunch leader in our school and com- munity is ARNOLD D. GREENE. This man's background includes an A.B. Degree in Education from Boston University, a M.E. Degree in Education from St. Law- rence University, and graduate studies at Cornell Graduate School. At any school athletic game, Mr. Greene, an avid sports fan, can be found giving the team moral support. Besides moral support, his guid- ing hand is ever helping better our school and the students in it. Because the task of being principal in a school of about thirteen hundred stu- dents is a difficult one, Mr. Greene has an able assistant, EDWARD A. NETSKI. Cap- able and conscientious, Mr. Netski has won many friends in this, his first year at Southside. Maintaining discipline is his main task. Firmly but wisely his duties are performed. A graduate of Mansfield State Teacher's College, Mr. Netski also has a M.S. Degree from Bucknell Uni- versity and graduate studies at Pennsyl- vania State University. Either fishing, bowling, or making a piece of furniture takes up the leisure time of this energetic man.

The task of teaching is not an easy one. The teachers of today hold the world of tomorrow in their hands. Turning childhood fancy into useful adult realism, raising the ideals and thoughts of the students and developing the master minds of the future-these are the responsibilities of a teacher. Vitally important to all of us is the knowledge that we can both speak and write clearly to express our opinions. The responsibility of teach- ing us correct, lucid oral and written expression falls to our English Department, in which we have several notable persons, one of whom is ROBERT LYNOUGH. From St. Michael's College, he ac- quired an A.B. Degree and from Boston College Graduate School an M.A. Degree. Aside from this, he also did graduate work on School Ad- ministration at Cornell University. His many hobbies include writing, music, gardening, and skiing. Much of his leisure time is taken up by advisory duties and dramatics, the Edsonian Literary Staff, and Footlighters Club. WILLIAM DOLAN, a new member of the English Depart- ment, acquired his B.A. Degree at Johns Hopkins University. At Syracuse, he took graduate studies and taught Freshman English. Many of his leisure hours are spent in his well-equipped machine shop. In her leisure time, MARION MCCARTHY, a graduate of Elmira College, enjoys reading and golfing.
