MARGARET W. AUSTIN French. Latin B. A. . Albany State University Who among us doubts that the Class of '65 was Mrs. Monaco's most prominent headache? None- theless, in her two years of associa- tion with our class, Mrs. Monaco has proved to be an understanding and dependable friend and teacher. Furthermore, if we don't know how to write a critique now, we never will. It certainly isn't Mrs. Mon- aco's fault for not trying to teach us! Mrs. Austin has long served us well in her capacity as a French teacher. She seemed, somehow, to accelerate the steep climb from par1ez-vous francais? to existen- tialist readings from Sartre in the original French. More recently, Mrs. Austin has been helpful as our homeroom teacher and yearbook advisor. She was also a realistic inhibitor where some of our wilder schemes were concerned. Her patience was amazing!

THE REV. ROBERT Y. CONDIT Headmaster Through our years in Woodhull, whenever an understanding and guiding hand was necessary, Mrs. Jordan was there with a genuine interest in us as individuals both scholastically and personally. Her office door has been opened to everyone who knocked upon it in search of help. So much can be said about the times we were rightly put in place or the all-too-few times we earned a pat on the back . Our apprecia- tion and gratitude we humbly extend for all she has done for us. i a Mr. Condit is always busy, always doing some- thing, always going somewhere. He is the heart and soul of our school and the strength and influence of his presence are felt by all. A welcoming smile and warmth greet each of us and we are all silently re- assured that we are glad he is the foundation of our school. EMMA S. JORDAN Principal Social Studies B.A. , Connecticut College M . A . , Columbia University

I EAN A. KENNI SON Mathematics, Physics B. A. , Brooklyn College M. A. , Brooklyn College Surveying the gleaming list of Mr. Stephenson's characteristics, one is met immediately with the cheerful manner, earnest outlook, and often impish regard that lurk behind the door of the lab. Mr. Stephenson treats his students fparticularly those who walk the thorn-strewn path of Chemistryj with an understanding attitude that makes it seem not half so bad . All this, of course, is accomplished with a cherubic ' countenance and smile that seldom fades. Biology and Chemistry wouldn't have been the same with- out him. We doubt they'll be the same hereafter. I0 When it comes to mathematic dyna- mos and numerical geniuses, Mrs. Ken- nison is the real McCoy. I-Iow simple those algebraic equations seem when she's scribbling them out on the black- board at a speed that must surely approach that of light! Underneath the scholarly aura, Mrs. Kennison is genuine. Gen- uine what? Saint must be the answer. judging from the kindly way she greets our impetuosity and hairbrained mathe- matical reasoning.
