Weddings, Projects--Facult Has If you were a West Deer High School faculty mem- ber during the turn of the decade, 1959-60, you took part in a mighty eventful year around the WD scene. At least seven teachers will remember it probably . . . . H . . ,, more than others. Relmquishing their most eligible status to become married during the year were such former stalwart singles as Mr. Siegel, Mrs. tMariottib Radovitch, Mr. Capellman, Mr. DiMarco, Mr. Whartenby, and Mr. Salvatore. New faculty members on the WD scene this term were Mr. Delfazio, Mr. Lavrich, Mrs. Molnar, as well as Mr. Curcio and Miss Huber who began their duties during the second semester. Also welcomed back was Mr. King, talented art instructor who formerly taught here but left for two years to work with the Atomic Energy Comm. Missing from their former WD class- room positions were Mrs. Lairo, who accompanied her husband for a teaching assignment in Germany, Mr. Graham, who left teaching for a sales position, and Mrs. Roemhild, who joined the housewife ranks. Also leaving at mid-terms were Mr. Karcis, to the New Ken school district, and Mrs. Monday, housewife. NOTEBOOK JOTTINGS ABOUT WD TEACHERS . . Another WD teacher MISS KRAFT, was chosen to assist in the evaluation of a district high school . . . MRS. SCHUSTER was named county representative of United Business Ed Assn., as well as business ed chair- man at the Springdale workshop . . . More national recognition was accorded WD when an article written by MRS. ACCIAI appeared in an educational periodical . . . WD's globe-trotting faculty member, MR. UTZIC, again made travel news with a tour of Europe . . . Around the local community the most startling thing to happen was the election of MR. PIAZZA as the new township justice-of-peace. The Squire ran on the independent Democrat ticket and turned out to be a top vote getter .... A nother winner for School Board on the same ticket was MR. NORRIS, former WD teacher and superintendent. Big in-service project of the term was when WD teachers visited area schools in order to view and com- pare educational procedures and facilities. Their obser- vations and detailed reports proved extremely enlight- ening in the quest to provide top level education at WD . . . The PSEA '6social season included a much enjoyed fall get-together at North Park, a dinner party held at Bull Creek Church, and several spring events. Interesting notes: Seven teachers are WD High grads - MR. ANDRIKO '46, MR. ANGELONI '48, MR. UTZIC '48, MR. SCHULTZ '49, MR. FORMENTO '49, MRS. DIGIROLAMO '50, and MR. LAVRICH '55 . . . According to office records, seven WD teachers went through the entire term without missing a day. They were MR. KERNAN, MR. MONNIER, MR. SIPES, MR. VITKAY, MR. WHARTENBY, MISS KRAFT, MR. CURCIO. Iron Men of the faculty are Mr. Sipes, 1.:i'sing only two days in 14- years, and Mr. Monnier, three days in 14 years . . . MR. SIEGEL will be on leave during 60-61 term to do advanced college work.

FACULTY ROW LIVES IT UP! - There's noth- ing we like better than a good wedding! is what you hear veteran teachers at West Deer exclaim. And this scene, Mr. and Mrs. Capellman's wedding in January, was typical during the year as the ranks of faculty eligible bachelors diminished fur- ther. MRS. DOROTHY ACCIAI B.S., M.Ed . . .
