SCIENCE New to the faculty this year is Mr. Kinley Herboldsheimer who teaches general science and chemistry. A recent im¬ port from the Junior High, he illustrates proper lab tech¬ nique in the above picture. With used bricks, toy carts, knotted elastics, and various improved ap¬ paratus, Mr. Irving G. Marsden gives students a better understanding of the universe as seen through the eyes of the P.S.S.C. Famed in song and story, Mr. Irving C. Keene has created the livingest living biology lab this school has ever seen. Birdwalks, honey bees, geraniums and guinea pigs (amidst the staggered piles of conservation notebooks and at¬ titude cards) are only small fragments of the living legend he has created in his three years with us. Below, Mr. Keene and Miss Elaine Jevely, a new member of the biology department, interview a new tenant of the conservatory. Everything from rusting nails to nitroglycerine falls under the jurisdiction of Mr. Wallace Sawyer, chem¬ istry teacher and Head of the Science Department. Under such guiding lights as Mussel Shoals and the Haber Process, most students learn to pour acid into water, not water into acid. A few forget. 9

Our first, second, and third year Latin teacher, Mrs. Jeanette Bucuvalas, is noted for her ex¬ pressive poses, Churchillian proses, and, oh yes, her teaching. Mrs. Z amprogno, second and third year French teacher and mainstay of the Language Department, has never failed to win the respect of the faculty and student body alike throughout her teaching career. Under the technical guidance of Mrs. Rosen¬ thal, students use the facilities of the language laboratory to improve pronunciation and com¬ prehension through tape recordings and oral practice. Mrs. Harriet Nelson is a first year French and Latin teacher who uses her wide travel experi¬ ence to enliven her presentation of life abroad. Mrs. Venezia Mezzacappa teaches first and second year French. Her understanding na¬ ture helps students over the many hurdles encountered in learning a language. LANGUAGE In addition to teaching World Geography, Mr. Robert Marotta, a gradu¬ ate of Tufts University, has been working in an informal atmosphere with those students who desire a knowledge of the Russian language and people.

MATH Miss Martha Zelinka, who teaches mathematics and ad¬ vises the Math Club, is Head of the Math Department. Her powerful personality will indeed be remembered by all her students. Mr. Jeremiah Kellett, mathematician extraordinaire, is famed for his Big Pictures and f ' rinstances. Erroneously known as the Father of Impractical Applications, he has nevertheless left his indelible mark on history. Plane geometry and algebra are to one another as Miss Ellen Holt is to Mrs. June Ellsworth. It is their task to develop an interest in those students who are taking math courses for the first time. From the size of the higher math classes, it appears that they have succeeded.
