i Sally Callahan Need help hemming a pair of pants or wonder what to add to your spaghetti sauce?, ask Sally Callahan. Besides sewing and cooking, she likes to camp. swim, and ski. She also likes to spend time with her husband John and her dogs: Gretchen, her poodle and Kristen Bunker, her German Shep- herd. To become a Home Economics teacher, Mrs. Cal- lahan attended Marywood College in Pennsylva- nia. lf she weren't a teacher, she would be work- ing in fashion design or food promotion. She asks that her students have respect for her and give the very best they have to offer. Sooo, if you're hungry and smell something cooking, just check Sam's room. Carol Sheldon If ever you have a question on sewing, knitting, cooking, or crocheting, you can be sure that Miss Sheldon can answer it for you. Really into these things, Miss Sheldon has always wanted to share them with others. When not busy with these activi- ties, she loves to play the piano, and listen to music. Although her schedule places her mainly at the Junior High School, she teaches one class a day here, Family, ln this class she uses guest speakers who answer student prepared questions on such topics as child birth methods, child rear- ing and discipline. These lively and informative discussions may lead to future seminars on Fam- ily Life. Her goal in teaching is to help every student to achieve her potential. Miss Sheldon considers it important to concentrate on doing as much good as one can in this life and to try to build up rather than tear down one's sell or others. 24 Jane Cox Ms. Cox is the special education teacher in our school. She has an A.A. from Cazenovia College and a B.S. from the University of Hartford, Ms. Cox's hobbies are snow skiing, both down- hill and cross country. hiking, backpacking, and traveling, Her philosophy of life is that she has the poten- tial to do anything with her life. She is interested in special education because it is a relatively young field of education with lots of room for profes- sional growth. There are several areas to special- ize in with several other job options aside from teaching. Jack Collins Attitude is the most important aspect of driv- ing, are words that can be connected with only one teacher in Windsor, Mr. Collins. With the mention of his name you can think, Drafting, Mechanical Drawing or Driver Ed. The funny part is it was because of the ability to teach this many different subjects that he came to Wind- sor. Mr. Collins has very clear cut ideas. He simply believes that everybody should enioy his pleas- ures. whatever they may be. He states, Learning and enjoying it are the best means of education. The problem he does see here is that the WCHS students aren't able to see which rights will be beneficial to them in later life. He also would like to see a swimming pool in Windsor High plus other extra-curricular activities for the kids. To be a good student in Mr. Collins class would seem to be easy. All that it takes is for a student to be interested in learning and in the subiect that he is taking. Fred Rothman Interested in working with sheet metal? Then give Mr. Rothman a call. A young, single, shop teacher here at Windsor. Mr. Rothman's time is not always spent working with metal. He likes horses and coaches freshman football. By the w8Y. the freshman team went undefeated this year with Mr, Rothman's superior understanding and coaching, Mr. Rothman would like a student to strive for and achieve a goal and not just think life is handed to him, My own philosophy of life says Mr. Rothman is, i'To achieve to the best of my abilities, in whatever do. Duane Harrison Mr. Harrison, a Cornell graduate is another member of our staff who is a Teaching Duo. He is an Industrial Art teacher here at Windsor and his wife. Jeanne Marie, is a teacher of the 4th grade at Weeks Elementary School. When not helping a student fix their car or choose a career, he enioys doing the things he does best. His woodworking crafts. work on anti- que cars, building steam engines and general mechanics keep him busy. His initiative in remod- eling and rebuilding his home probably sets the tone for his job as Industrial Art teacher and many of his hobbies that are closely related to his pro- fessional life. In the classroom he tries to help each student do the best he can, although sometimes this is hard. Duane thinks that each student should respect himself and others enough to do the best he can. He doesntexpect much from a student, but he does expect an honest effort. He thinks the students could develop more common sense and courtesy. Mr, Harrison finds working with stu- dents more satistying than working with machines. Steve Herz Even though Mr. Herz gets immense satisfac- tion from teaching, what he'd like to do is be the manager ofa horse farm. ln fact, since 1971 he's been training and raising show horses on his l80 acre farm next to the golf course. How does Mr. Herz feel about life? He has very serious and interesting wants and feelings. He tries to be as honest as he can to his fellow men and would like the same in return. Any student planning on having Mr. Herz should know he expects all students to live up to their abilities. The most interesting thing about Mr. Herz is his love life. lt seems he needed a helper on his horse farm so he hired Christen Gelineau and now they are happily married, but her name is still Christen Gelineau. figure out that one. i Paul Dillingham Mr. Paul Dillingham, one of our shop and mechanical drawing teachers. would have been 6 hunting guide in the Rockies if he hadn't chosen I teaching, Mr. DiIlingham's hobbies are hunting. fishing and going on camping trips with his wife I Theresa, His pet peeve is a person who does not stand up for what he has done and be responsible for it. He I also thinks that people should do anything and everything that's possible, but not at the expense of others. You won't see Mr. Dillingham around the school much because he only has two classes here. He spends most of his time at the Junior l High School. ,- r'. 7 X it

Barbara Edwards Mrs. Edwards feels that mothering is thing in her life and teaching is second. As very busy with her three boys and two girls, as a mother, to take her children on a tion. After college she and a friend went camping and she leels her children should inspiring and enioyable experience, Mrs. Edwards is not only a very good mother, excellent English teacher. She says that she wanted any other profession and that she only could also teach Latin. Mrs. Edwards, who was the Yearbook Advisor friendly and loving person. She helped to make this tremendous success. During the hard and tedions times of writing, rewriting, proofreading the articles and designing the pages, she gave us inspiration and a guiding hand to get through it all. Here's to you, from all of us! Joan Collins Guten Tag, says Mrs. Collins as she begins her discussions in German class. Also an English teacher and Driver Education Instructor, Mrs. Collin's time is very limited, but in those spare moments she enjoys reading, swimming, and listening to music. Mrs. Collins' travels have taken her lar. She has been to France, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, and dur' ing the summer studied in Germany. She has also vis- ited the Baharnas, California, and Texas. Sitting at home by the radio waiting for snow days that never come is something Mrs. Collins dislikes very much, She'd much rather hear Windsor is closed and go about different events lor the day. Mrs, Collins' thought to everyone is that the most a person could want from life is happiness, not only for himself but for all those around him. Eileen McConaughy fMcKonehaJ When Mrs. McConaughy is not discussing the merits of Fahrenheit 451 with her students, she can be found sailing or bike riding with her husband Kyle. But she is also a person ofthe mind. ln her Science Fic- tion classes she teaches students to realize the importance ol thought. There are many science fiction books written on censorship. Censorship doesn't allow people to develop new ideas. Mrs, McConaughy believes a person must always think of new ideas and make room for development. She has only one strong pet peeve and that is phoniness. According to her, phoniness doesn't allow a person to think or be himself but only use other peoples' ideas. This goes against everything she stands for. 4 1' 1 John Chianese Mr. Chianese, language teacher and world traveler! When not speaking Spanish to his alumnos Y alumnas, he can tell endless tales of his travels to France, Spain, Switzerland, Hawaii, Italy, and Mexico. Besides traveling, he enjoys swimming, gardening, and buying and refinishing antiques. When asked his expectations of students, he remarked that he expects a student to do those tasks he is responsi- ble lor. Tom LaStrange Another new lace at the high school this year belongs to Tom LaStrange whose wife is also a teacher at Bell School, He teaches Junior High English and has two high school dasses in the afternoon. When not running between schools he enjoys a good game of basketball or relaxes with a book. He recently bought a new home in Kirkwood where he is a gardening enthusiast. We enjoy his friendliness and would like to see more ol him. 56 Z Dennis Mark Mr, Mark, a single, eligible French teacher at Windsor Central High School, is a very knowledgeable gentleman. ln the classroom he tries to pass this knowledge on to his French students, and all he asks of them is to put forth a good effort. In his spare time he plays the piano and enioys tending his garden in the summertime. ln fact, along with piano he plays the organ at the Endwell United Methodist Church where he has been playing since he was 15. His extra-curricular activities include directing the Senior play, and assisting with the Spring Musical. As Senior Class Advisor, he sees that the class's money is spent wisely. Mr. Mark enjoys many other activities, and says that if he weren't teaching he would be doing nothing in particular. and everything in general - a very versatile guy.

Besides his wife, who lovingly calls him Cud- les, his hobbies include playing football, basket- all, and wrestling. When he is not busy correcting ests, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and camping. lf you have ever had Mr. Hodack as a teacher. Lou might have noticed how he uses humor in his ork. He feels that. ll you enjoy what is being aught, you might make a special effort to learn n0re. Richard Waldron Unlike all other sports, rifle brings to mind just one person, Mr. Waldron, He is responsible forthe rifle team at Windsor, a varsity sport with a very good history. He's been involved with the club since 1952 when it wasn't a varsity sport or any- thing close to being what it is today. Rifle isn't Mr. Waldron's only hobby. He seems to be a real outdoorsman. He has camped across the country, likes to photograph the beautiful out- door scenery, and he goes cross country skiing, Mr. Waldron came to Windsor in 1952 as a sci- ence teacher. He taught biology 15 years and now he teaches Geometry and Algebra. The biggest problem about Windsor, according to Mr. Waldron, is the open system of classrooms. Mr. Waldron may seem like an old fashioned teacher, but one thing l can say for him, any teacher that can tell me ysmx +b then make me believe it, has got to be one heck of a teacher. .N 1 A ' t ', 1 il i I if r 1 i f George Mital George T. Mital, Director ot the Math Depart- ment at Windsor, enjoys fishing, hiking, volleyball. traveling, reading, and of course, doing math, He is 37 years old, married. and has three daughters. Mr. Mital started teaching at Windsor in 1962. after receiving a four year degree from Kings Col- lege in Wilkes-Barre. As a teacher, Mr. Mital thinks each student should become all he is capable of being. He likes to see a desire to learn. willingness to work at it, and a sense of humor to go along with it. Mr. Mital's outlook on life is that you should try to enjoy lile and get satisfaction from your efforts as well as care for others. He believes happiness and satisfaction are not possible without good, honest, hard work. Bruce Bedford fNo picturel Mr, Bedford is one of our commuting teachers. He travels from the old school to our school to teach the fundamentals of Math. Freshman basketball candidates probably know him as Coach Bedford. This is probably his big- gest hobby next to raising his Norwegian Elk Hound. Mr, Bedford has a philosophy I especially like. He says, Enjoy the things that are available and don't mess up the things that are enjoyable. He feels a teacher should teach his students to apply school situations and problems to adult cir- cumstances. A student in his eyes is one who will learn and accept the responsibility of learning. Michael Wasko Mr. Wasko leads an active and interesting life. He is very much into sports, playing basketball. volleyball, and softball in his spare time. His hob- bies include hunting and fishing. Mr. Wasko is also a volunteer fireman with the West Windsor Fire Company, using his talents as a CPR instructor for all. He is married with two children, Jodey and Michael, and also has a dog named Sandy, Mr. Wasko has wanted to be a teacher ever since Elementary School. He feels that each stu- dent, as well as older persons. should have an equal chance to learn. He expects each student to put forth a good effort and try his hardest. Mr. Wasko's outlook on life is to do unto others as they would do unto you. All in all, you could say Mr. Wasko is a very active Math teacher. 9 25
