PIERSON CURTIS Senior Master English Department Princeton University, A .B. It is doubtful that any member of any faculty has im- parted more real and lasting good to a school, its students, and its faculty as Stony Brook's beloved P. C. So outstand- ing has been his contribution over the years that criticism of him is seldom voiced. There are few men more inter- ested and gifted in the teaching profession, and the stu- dents in his English classes are the first to acclaim such a statement. JAMES BARTON Director of Admissions Science Department Franklin and Marshall College, B.S. University of Pittsburgh, M.S. It is virtually impossible to become a successful member of the Stony Brook School community without possessing versatility. It is quite another matter to be versatile and yet effective in a number of fields of endeavor. Yet this man has proved himself in the Bible and science class- rooms, in athletics, and in administration. Stony Brook boys are grateful, too, for his constant interest in their social welfare. DOUGLAS BURTON Science Department, Mathematics Department Houghton College, B .A. As a new resident master in Johnston Hall Mr. Burton became a popular addition to the faculty. His teaching schedule included work in science and mathematics and he was kept busy in athletics coaching teams in football, basketball, and baseball. 'I4

MARION H. CHENEY Librarian New Paltz State College Hunter College The library is the place to be seen and not heard and a place where good hard work is done. Mrs. Cheney is a real gift to Stony Brook, and in her years here she has given the library an atmosphere where her personality and Christian depth have made a lasting impression on the boys of the school. These are plus values beyond quiet and work. JAMES FENTON Mathematics Department Houghton College, A .B. University of Rochester, M.A. A man who gives his all to the job at hand-that's the reputation our Res Gestae and senior class advisor has earned. A capable basketball coach, Mr. Fenton drills hoopsters who are a perennial source of ulcers to other Ivy League coaches. Add to these contributions his genius for making algebra understandable and you have a man who has rendered yeoman service to Stony Brook School since he doffed his marine uniform eleven years ago. JERRY GILL Language and Bible Departments Westmont College, B.A. University of Washington, M.A. Dr. Gaebelein brought west east again as Mr. Gill joined our faculty. This amiable westerner made a niche for him- self immediately, teaching Greek, assisting Dr. Gaebelein in senior Bible and as an enthusiastic coach handling the junior varsity basketball team. 15
