ol' lfnglish. whom we met in our linal terms. are Dr. Shipley, lVlr. Mostow. Mr, Astra- chan. Nr. lirant. Mr. Hoagland. Mr. Pause, Mr. Leihel. and the rest. whom tor is it who?l we shall never forget. The popularity ol' these teachers is well- dcserved. and we know that as long as they teach in Stuyvesant they will he revered and respected hy their students. 'l'hc pursuit ol' those stray x's and y's turned into something more extensive than we thought possihle at lirst. as we advanced through geometry and algehra to higher mathematics. Just a few of the teachers who seem to stand out in our memory. for some strange reason. are lVlr. lioslow. Mr. Sternlierg. Mr. licrman. Mr. Ukean. Mr. Wortrnan. and lVlr. Greenfield. No douht. each of us has favorites which are not included in this ahlireviated list. ln morning session we were introduced to a new group of suhjects: the social studies. This means lfuropean history. American history. and lfconomics. Some ol' the most delightful teachers in the school teach these suhjeets. The department is headed hy Dr. lioss. and some of its familiar memhcrs are Dr. lioeder. Miss 'l'allman. Mr. Jacoli. lVlr. Phillips. lVlr. Hall., and Mr. Zuckerman. 'lille history they made. teaching us. is as memoralmle as the history and economics they made us learn. Stuyvesant has a unique course in tllat it requires a certain amount of mechanic arts. lilaking us grateful to this requirement is the fact that we have come to know some ol' the nicest men in Stuyvesant in the shops and drafting-rooms on the Sixteenth Street side of the huilding. Among these are Mr. Daly. Mr. Jordan. Mr. Greene. Mr. Yates. lilr. Stark. and lVlr. Soper. The only department in the school that seems to he left now is the health educa- tion department. which as most of you will allirm. is far from the least. Numhering as it does among its memhers most of the coaches of the teams. it is a very popular division ol' the faculty. Mr. Cooley. chairman of the department heads a group that includes Mr. liradshaw. Mr. lVlonal1an. lVlr. 'lihrush. lllr. Marks. Mr. Mandel. and Mr. tlollmert as its principal members. As a group. the ollicial class teachers of Stuyvesant seem to have had the hardest task. trying to keep their classes in check through two whole years. During these two years. though. we have gotten to know our ollicial teachers more or less intimately. and invariahly grown to like them. Leaving Stuyvesant will he hard. hut saying goodhye to our old ollicial teacher will he hardest of all, for he has come to symholize Stuyvesant to us. and we will long rememlier the school and all of its faculty after we have graduated and scattered to the corners of the earth. - 'AQ54 N' 17

With thorough-going instruction in the course plus advanced experiments not found in the prescrilmed llegents syllahus hut giving the student a more practical insight into the sulrjeet just one feature of their tutorship. they also managed to make thc various demonstrations and experiments interesting to the average Stuyve- santian lay adding to the dry formulas a touch of their inimitahle selves. just a few of the teachers who managed to he assiduous in the pursuit of their duties while lweing at the same time pleasant and good-humored. making the sciences eternally a part of our memories of Stuyvesant, are Mr. Penzer. Mr. Schur. Mr. Lipelis. Nlr. lllue. Mr. Simon. Mr. Meyers. Mr. Raphael, Mr. llrownlee. Mr. llosen. Mr. llomlierger . . . 1 and rememlwer Mr. Ceffner and Mr. Kerner? They were really line men. Too had they had to he transferred. The lmasketlwall enthusiasts will rememlmer Doc lfllncr right away. and all Stuyvesantians would ohject to the omission ol' his name. llut. we do not need a record such as this to recall all our teachers' names. for the memory of them is engraved upon our hearts. Another group of courses that are an important part of high school life are the foreign languages. Uur choices of this required suhjeet were not all the same: some preferring lfrcneh to Spanish. others l,atin to German. hut all of us quick to recognize the service that these language teachers have rendered to us. lt certainly would require more space than is available to rememher all our teachers here. hut it is natural that each reader will recollect the names of his teachers whether it is herein contained or not. Mr. Laguardiais name will come at once to the minds ol' his lfreneh and Italian sludentsg as will the names of Mr. Cuffari. Mr. Ackerman. Mr. Morrell. llr. Moore. and Mr. Vlleinstock to their pupils. l,atin students will rememher Mr. Schahacker and Miss Lewin. hut the German students will cherish the memories of Dr. Scherer. Miss Jnnemann. and Mrs. Meyers. Mr. Pittaro. Nliss Doyle. and Mr. .laret make the learning of Spanish a daily pleasure to their students. Une department whose memhers have made a great impression upon us is the lfnglish department. Those delightful English teachers were with us one period a day throughout our high school career. and actually made us look forward to that period all day. livery one of the members of the English department was always almle to make us so interested in the topic that we would really learn it thoroughly. We will always remember the precise teachings of Dr. Law. and of Mr. Marks. Mr. llart. Mr. l.oewenthal. Mr. Kane. Mr. Weishin. and Dr. Kelly. Other teachers 16
