Kenneth W. Killings Chemistry John P. Spineti Mathematics and Chemistry STCC has the widest range of abili- ties imaginable! Most students accept required introductory courses and work very hard in them. Sophie L. Drost Cosmetology On weekends I work on my car Saturday afternoon and evening I spend at demolition derbys. I am very interested in antique cars and motor- cycle racing. Joan Purcell Cosmetology If both faculty and students alike keep in mind th at we can learn from each other and share each others knowledge, a healthy atmosphere wil grow.

Del Dotto Dental Assistant Dorathea Foote Dental Hygiene The relationship between students and faculty is great! I may flunk all of the seniors so they will be around next year. Helen M. Sady Dental Assistant Mitchell Walkowicz Electronics James J. Waters Electronics Peter J. Montessi Engineering Graphics Range of abilities is highly diversi- fied — a real oddball bell shaped curve. William L. Tuthil! Civil Engineering Technology Too many high students are brought up under the theme of a 4 year college or work, and as a result there has been not only a loss in tapping our human resources, but an unfair stigma at- tached to those not going on to a 4 year college. The community college sys- tem is an answer to this. John R. Warner Civil Engineering Technology The graduating class of 1972 and this year ' s class seem to have much in common; sincere interest in the pro- gram and good motivation Kathleen A. Andrew English Teaching is one of the few areas where human and aesthetic values prevail over the profit motive Anthony J. Bialas English I hope our classes continue to be small enough to maintain personal rapport. 25
