Dr. Doberstein also has a PhD. from New York State University. The Elmira school system is fortunate to have as its Director of Music, GEORGE ABBOT, a teacher of 46 years and a well known composer. Mr. Abbot has approximately ten compositions in circulation at present. He fondly refers to his Elmira March as his homerun as well he may since this march is played by all American Service hands. In his youth Mr. Abbot studied under private teachers and at the New England Conservatory of Music. At present, in connection with his hobby, he is remodeling a 150 year old house. Art Director, ELBERT RYERSON enjoys his career so much that he has made painting his hobby. Mr. Ryerson was granted a B.F.A. and an M.E.A. from Syracuse University.

Dr. William George George Doberstein Abbot Directors Elbert Ryerson to see that we apply ourselves to worthwhile projects of studies is a group of people known as teachers. 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. Despite the fact that she is a busy homemaker, she has managed to take graduate

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.

To some there is nothing more adventuresome than solving a baffling equation or performing a delicate experiment. To teach us the basis for further exploration in these fields is the task of the math and science departments. Our mathematics department consists of six highly qualified teachers for this work. KATH- LEEN M. BUTLER, an avid bridge player and Amelia Carroll J. Roland Cerchie J. Hayes A. Ball Kenneth Leonard Rudy C. Winsor Yusko M- LCC Stanley Luella John W. W. Krouse B. Lund Finlay Science Kathleen Helen E. Winifred M.

Aside from this, she is advisor to the Usher's Club. As we all know, HELEN E. BOWER has devoted her life to instructing our students in Geometry and Advanced Algebra.
