We have many memories of our teachers If X:2, X2-3:1 . . . Algebra really wasn't so bad after allg MR. SPALIC taught us alge- bra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry and physics. Equations and theorems seemed to solve themselves after his explanations. Thermometer and pills ready, MRS. FER- GUSON was constantly on the lookout for sore throats, bad eyes and teeth . . . occasion- ally checked to see that we were home really because of illness. Our guiding light was MRS. HEN- DRICKSON . . . always ready to help us with our problems. Also, Mrs. Hendrickson taught Senior Math, sponsored Tri-Hi-Y and Student Council. MRS. HEID always had a smile and a help- ing hand. We remember sum, es, est, summus, estes, sunt from her Latin class. With the morning band period, evening sessions on the field during football season, dance band rehearsals, playing at the basket- ball games, MR. WAREHAM was kept rather busy. Quite unexpectedly one morning before Christmas, two strangers appeared in our downstairs hall . . . remained several days. They were the creation of friendly, versatile MR. ZIMMERMAN, our art teacher. We thank MRS. JOHNSON for the very wonderful choruses we had, the beautiful Christmas music they did. Everyone really ap- preciated Mrs. MISS GERINO added a modern touch to the old English dramatists with her lively sense of humor . , . Macbeth was really fun. Let's go girls, was the familiar cry of MISS PARRISH to her girls' gym classes . . . Everyone lined up in position along the wall for roll call. What would we have done without our li- brarian, MISS BORLAND, to help us with our special reports? WVe remember seeing Miss Borland at all the basketball games . . . really quite the sport. MR. WILLIAMS . . . always the handy man to have around. Our Will makes carpenters and draftsmen out of boys . . , was just grand to work with as faculty sponsor of this book. Keep your eyes on that copy, COACH TURLEY warns. Typing was fun . . . We all enjoyed Coach's corny jokes even though our laughs didn't help our grades. Circles and curlicues are the business of MRS. XVOODALL, our shorthand teacher. Don't join the circus . . . COACH WAG- NER'S gym classes offer just as much. Mats, bars, rings, and Coach's booming voice . . . everyone liked gym. I'm sure we'll not soon forget those slight mistakes that resulted in explosions in our chemistry lab . . . quite sure MR. CIBIK won't either. Let's get quiet, boomed through the room as COACH ZOTT entered his Sociology class. Coach's work sheets were really our joy . . . ha! About third hour the sweet smells of MISS BANG'S home economics class crept through the halls reminding us that the future home- makers of America were busily at work. The sun that brief December day rose cheerless over hills of gray. MISS SOBER and SNOWBOUND are just about synonymous anymore. COACH De VENZIO was just tops. We think he's a terrific basketball coach . . . are sure the team will not soon forget him. MR. ROBAK'S bugology Qbiology, that isj course is the thrill of all the sophomores. The insects, frogs, and embryos were quite awe- some at first, but gradually everyone got over his squeamishness. Vive La France! . . . French couldn't go on without MISS STEWART'S interesting French classes. MR. JACQUES' patience with us will not soon be forgotten . . . We cheer him on to IIIOTC SIICCCSS Ill fUlQllI'C yC?ll'S.

September fifth already and we were starting our last year of school. Seemed like yesterday that we entered the halls of S. H. S. for the first time. On Septem- ber seventh Mr. jacques talked to us at our first class meeting, telling us about our responsibilities this year and reminding us to start thinking about class night and graduation, both of which seemed very remote at the time. October brought photographers and a week of picture-posing . . . all the club pictures and senior pictures were taken. We really had a hey-day when the senior proofs came back. Everyone was looking at everyone else's, making excuses for his own. However, the pictures were all very good. We had a closed Halloween party in the gym on November first. Costumes, food, and lots of fun made it really complete. Even though the snow tried to keep us from the Harvest Moon on November third, we all got there one Way or another and had a fine time. The gym was decorated beautifully . . . the girls in their rustling gowns and the boys in their smart suits looked none the worse for the snow. After many trials and tribulations, our class play, Meet a Body, a three act mystery-comedy, was presented on November twenty-first and twenty-second. The cast had a wonderful time doing it, and we certainly enjoyed seeing it. Then, at last, Christmas vacation and the end of the first semester. The second semester brought lots of activity. Plans for Class Night were completed in February and the Electra went to press early in March. On April twenty-fifth we had our last class party. Then the big day . . . May twenty-ninth was our last day of school. How the underclassmen envied us! A few more days and we would really be finished with high school. There was lots of fun at Class Night on june first. Baccalaureate followed on the third, and the Kennywood picnic on the fourth. On June fifth an achievement in our lives was finally realized . . . grad- uation.
