Dr. Donald Fitzgerald Humanities I would like to see our students push themselves more 1 don ' t believe that our students realize how much poten- tial the human being has at the age of twenty. Francis P. Gray English Mary V. Marrion English Students vary in abilities — from class to class and from day to day. The most important thing for me, and them, is that they try to exercise their potential. Walter P. Mayfield English I enjoy teaching Clare E. McDonnell English 1 went into teaching because I ' m a ham ' At STCC there is a wide range of abilities — but I ' m not sure its ' abil- ity ' as much as previous training, moti- vation, interest in English. Diane Miller English Mary Murphy English Gail A. Pederzoli English Fascinated by people in general, 1 wanted to work with them on a person- al level. Teaching is also the closest thing to being a professional student. Dorothy Pryor English Michael J. Ritzen English Joseph F. Ross English STCC has a faculty that cares, an administration that is eager to listen, and a student body that is willing to share. Carolyn Tetrault English Frederic R. Meyers Environmental Donald G. Newton Environmental Technology Most of the students rate high in abil- ity, unfortunately many of them rate fairly low in the application of that ability. They could generally do much better. William B. Rosborough Environmental Russell Falvey Fine Arts-Music My efforts reflect a concern for all students; that they include life-enrich- ing humanistic study or activity as part of their overall community college experience Anne Lemieux Fine Arts-Music Edith Mantyla Art Expressing myself through the visual arts has been such a positive force in my own life that I decided to do what I could to enable others to exercise their creativity through drawing, painting, sculpting, etc. ...

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. George Cusson Data Processing Most students are warm and recep- tive. At STCC there is a much closer bond than at other schools, Thomas F. Tetlow Data Processing Deborah V. 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
