Distinguished Teachers

Meet the Emeritus contingent:

Did you know that 5 fondly-remembered faculty who taught at ARHS during the 1975-1976 school year are now distinguished veterans teaching ARHS students today? If you recall our yearbook "The Goldbug," faculty and staff were sorted not by department, but by zodiac sign. Certainly you remember that Jane Baer is an Aquarius, Dael Chapman is a Pisces, Marc Gerstein is a Sagittarius, Tom Gralinski is a Cancer, and John Warthen is a Taurus.

Check out what students say about their ARHS teachers in 2006.


** TEACHERS: the Reunion Committee is trying to get word of the November 25 Reunion Dinner out to our favorite ARHS teachers and staff. Are you in touch with old colleagues? Please e-mail Conlon_M@jud.state.ma.us with contact information that will allow us to invite everyone we remember!

Many, many of your classmates are LOST.... At least, their whereabouts are unknown to ARHS and thus the October 3 mailing about Reunion weekend plans never reached them. We need to find these people! If you know any elusive Class of '76 grads who have changed names, recently moved, or fly below the radar, please help us to be sure that they don't miss the Reunion news:

Send an e-mail with their mailing, email or other contact information to PharmLee@comcast.net ...
Forward a copy of the Reunion letter, invitation and RSVP form to them ...
E-mail them a link to this blog posting (see envelope icon below) and let them decide how to reveal themselves !
