Faculty In Action Without its faculty Warwick High School could not have existed; it could not have been the institution of learning that it was. Teachers were criticized and overworked , but were the makers of the future. They prepared youth for tomorrow, which was a lengthy, time- consuming process. It was a job which entailed patience, understanding, discipline, and, perhaps most important, a “funny bone”. Because of these and their constant exposure to y outh, teachers thought young and were usually at the heart of the action. Through their sponsorship of clubs and com- mittees and their support for the team, the faculty was unified with the student body. 13

Mr. Hayes Given Dedication For Interest in Student Body “Where The Action Is” was a meaningful, yet fun- filling way of describing the life of Warwick High School. While each of us, the students, was encom- passed by this way of life, there was a devoted mem- ber of the faculty who remained at the heart of the many activities at Warwick. This person, who has a life centered around Warwick, was devoted in many ways — first, as a history and government teacher, in- stilling his students with a knowledge of the past, second, as a faithful supporter, collecting tickets at both football and basketball games, while silently watching the makings of victory and defeat. This sincere person was admired and trusted by all who knew and worked with him. When he was either leading a class discussion or conversing at any of the school games, his character was known by the spirit he showed. He was always willing to give his side of an argu- ment and listen to a student’s pet peeve. Warwick’s action vibrated around him. It is because of his devotion to our school and his faithful support that the annual staff proudly dedicates the 1967 Warwick to Mr. William P. Hayes. 14
