Social Studies Make Good Citizens MRS. BARBARA CONNOR began the year as a substitute, but soon became a full time teacher. With two classes in government, two in speech, and one in senior English, she has scarcely a moment to call her own. MR. ROBERT MYGRANTS teaches his United States history classes the importance of understanding the present through knowing the past. Current events, news films, and maps are among the teaching aids he uses. Young and energetic, MR GLEN EBERLY is one of the most popular faculty members. After teaching classes in world history, sociology, and economics, he finds time to sponsor the Lettermen’s Club, to coach the baseball squad, to serve on the Faculty Review Board, and to help out anywhere else he is needed. Senior Dennis Myland is explaining to his government class how the freedom of our American way of life can be traced back to England in 1189. - 13-

Commercial Classes Are Always Crowded Teacher of future stenographers is MISS BEULAH HUSTED. In addition to teaching typing and shorthand, she sponsors the Commercial and Sunshine Clubs and manages the bookstore. MR. BUREN HOOPER, a graduate of Indiana University, has come to Dyer from Rising Sun High School. Although Mr. Hooper’s favorite subject is business law, he enjoys teaching typing and bookkeeping, and looks forward to his after school basketball coaching. He is a prime favorite with all students. oooooc MR. RAYMOND JONES, a newcomer to Dyer High School this year, is a graudate of Indiana University. He is shown here explaining the placement of typewriter keys to one of his typing classes. The pupils in his classes progress rapidly, and consider him a fine instructor. Pictured above is one of the two second year typing classes. The girls typing so diligently are (from front to back) Karen Dutton, Sandra Lawrosky, Monica Sabo, Irene Tkacz, and Lilly Bukowski. - 12 -

“Speak the Speech, I Pray You, As I Pronounced It to You-—” An attractive addition to the English department is MRS. JANET CRISCO, graduate of West Glenville State, West Virginia. Mrs. Crisco teaches junior English, breaking the monotony of infinitives, participles, and such with Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, and other American greats. Undaunted by a steady diet of freshman English classes last year, MR. JOHN PETROFF returned this year for more of the same. Occasionally he plays his piccolo for his classes or reads some of his original writings to them. A very busy man is MR. ROSCOE PROTSMAN. Practically at the break of day he starts supervising the arrival of the school buses, during the day he teaches sophomore English, and after school he expedites the departure of buses. In addition he directs the visual education program. - 14 -
