'fu ? . ,. f' f 2' ,f C, MTSQQM . . Stuyvesantians have learned much and have developed practical skills, so necessary in putting a scientific education to good advantage, in the schoolis well equipped shops. Although required to take introductory courses in wood and metal working, mechanical drawing, and art appreciation, the student may take advanced courses in the subject which he himself likes most. Teaching in the shops are men like Mr. Gage, Mr. Whitney, Mr. Kopsch and Mr. Daly. Mr. Hings, Mr. Baty and Mr. Brenzinger are prominent among the drafting teachers, while Mr. Cohen, Mr. Dollin, and Mr. Wolbach teach students of the fine arts. Four terms of physical education are required and, although most of us went unwillingly, we enjoyed it while it lasted. Teachers like Mr. Eherly, the WAI. head of the department, Mr. Bradshaw, uThe Great, Mr. Marks, hes-.f-7 First Aid, Mr. Colbert, Mr. Mandell, and Mr. Terwilliger, made gym a lot of fun. All of us will remember them for a long time, the sight we made running down the stairs to the gym, undressing in a hurry, and then onto the fioor, for exercise and activities, a scramble for the dressing room, and then up five flights again. But Stuyvesant would 11ot be Stuyvesant without our class advisors and their helpful and understanding advice when we needed it. Advisors like Mr. Ackerman, Mr. De Graffe, Miss Dee, and Dr. Kelly have all made their impression on us. To help us with our worries about the future, there was always Mr. H. Marks, the college advisor, Mr. Hoagland, the scholarship advisor, and Mrs. Marran, the employment counselor. Nobody ever thinks of those in the Administrative Department. They do their work without making a big noise about it, but if it weren't for them, all Stuyvesant would stop operating. For keeping the school running smoothly We have to thank Mrs. Krasnogor, Mrs. Elmes, Mrs. Constant, and Mr, Wonman. Administrative Assistant Mr. Panuska is ably assisted by Mr. Ollendorf, Mr. Homme, and Mr. Smith. No-w carrying on nobly in Mr. Wilson's place is Mr. Clark, the acting principal. When we look back in times to come, on our yearsvin Stuyvesant, mixed with our other memories will be the thpughtijof Yqiffaculty-of the good- hearted men and women who made our years St esan f the most enjoyable in our lives.

K+? '1 C4 ?SmE3 The Mathematics department, headed by Mr. Berman, is admittedly one of the best found in the High Schools of the United States. Besides teaching more pure math than most schools offer, it has, in the course of years, introduced many practical courses in the subject, all of them extremely valuable. 4Mr. Okean is one of the few New York State High School instructors qualified to teach surveying. Dr. Brodie conducts two classes in navigation. Mr. Wiedelnann, who also teaches physics, conducts an afternoon course in Engineering Math. Other teachers, equally excellent, even though they teach no special subjects are: Mr. Greenfield, Mr. S. Hart and Mr. Nack. In the three years of science that we were required to study, we met a great number of really wonderful teachers. Most of us met Mr. Tolle, Mr. Penzer, and Mr. Schur of the biology department, when we took Science 1. A few of us renewed our acquaintance with them when we studied Biology. 'X In our sophomore year we started studying Chemistry. To explaitxie mysteries of the elements, and of fascinating laboratory experiments, there wf ' ' teachers like Mr. Blue, Mr. Lipeles, Mr. Bowden, the head of the departmeni, and Dr. Ellner, who is also -our basketball coach. We had had a brief contact with the physics department when we studied Science 2. At that time, we met Mr. Baier and Mr. Brundage, who has passed away since then. ln our Junior year, when we made a more thorough Venture into the subject, we met many other teachers of that fascinating science. Mr. Meyers, Mr. Simon, Mr. Cromie, and Mr. Baker have prominent positions among them. Dr. Efron, who taught in Stuyvesant several years ago, returned to this school recently and took over duties as the head of the Department. ln mentioning our science teachers, it would certainly be wrong not to call attention to those hard working laboratory assistants of whom Mr. Newark and Mr. Paul are a representative pair. As in the case of Mathematics, Stuyvesant does not stop with giving its students a minimum course in the sciences. An ambitious student may study two and one half years of chemistry, or he may study electronics, or radio communications and codes, or mechanics. That he can pursue such an intensive course of study is due only to the fact that the school has such an excellently qualified faculty. A xt QE.. J fx i . I s xx .. . fl: 2 is X
