He nowhas decided toretireand spend more time with his wife doing some of the things they enjoy. “We have bought an RV and ‘plan to travel across the country vos and Visit some of the historical . places we have always talked about seeing,” said Baran. “When we ‘return at the end of the summer, I “ plan’ to become involved in some kind of activity. I'm not sure yet.” Baran said he knows he is going 4 piss the school and the people. i ever-minded coming to work, I | eminged it and looked forward to coming to Dallas. The district has been good to me and I tried to serve it the bestI could. I'm going to miss WILLIAM BARAN the kids and the faculty most. I will miss meeting the new kids every year. They keep you young,” he said. MARGARET JOHNSON Margaret Johnson of Dallas is retiring after 26 years as a science teacher. “My position at Dallas was my first and only teaching position,” said Margaret" (Peg as she is better known to most). “I have been chairperson of the department for the past several years. I love teaching but my hus- band is retiring and he convinced me that I should retire and we will be able to do some traveling. I am also involved in several other community activities and my church," Johnson said. “In the future we plan to visit such places as New Mexico and other southwestern areas.” A graduate of College Misericor- dia, Peg pursued higher education courses at Wilkes University and Temple. She has been advisor of the National Honor Society for about 12 years and served as senior advisor for eight years. “My greatest satisfaction while teaching has been my relationship with the young people; seeing them as they come through and as they improve and graduate. My teach- ing has been a wonderful experi- ence. I'm going to miss my associa- tion with the students more than anythingelse; I've enjoyed them so MARGARET JOHNSON much.” Peg said she is openminded about her future but if opportunity presented something she was inter- ested in she might take something part-time. GERALD STINSON Like Peg Johnson, Gerald “Gerry” Stinson’s first teaching position was at Dallas. A graduate of King's College in 1961, he came to Dallas in the fall of the same year and taught 10th grade Ameri- can History. In 1964, he was ap- pointed athletic director, a posi- tion he has held ever since. Stinson lives in Wilkes-Barre with his wife and family and did his graduate work at Bloomsburg, University of Scranton and Rutgers University. “1 aeciaed it’s time to retire and do some of the activities I've always wanted to have time to do,” said , Stinson. “I'm going to enjoy my sons and daughter and my two granddaughters. My wife and I also plan to do some work in recreation and athletics. You'll see me on the sidelines of the football games in the fall when weather permits.” Stinson said the most reward- ing experience in his career has been the confidence of the kids and their exchange of ideas in the classroom. “I'm going to miss the kids and the people in athletics most. I have no regrets in coming to Dallas. When I was interviewed for the GERALD STINSON position I said if I could have two lives, I would make money and I would teach. I have only one life so I took teaching. I will miss the classroom but in the future I may substitute.” Stinson is a member of the Wilkes-Barre Recreation Board and is in his 34th year on the board. “I gave the district the best that I could every day and the district has treated me well throughout the years. I hope my successor is treated the same way. I will miss a lot of the people at Dallas; they have been great to me.” The three teachers were in agree- ment that education has changed over the past three decades. Among the differences they cited the atti- tude of the student population, the drastic. change -in the students’ dress code, greater diversification of courses, the increasing number of sports programs and the in- creased expectations by parents and administrators from the teach- ers. / “The increase in the variety of courses creates problems for the students and is a strain on them because they have so many things todo and so much is expected from the teachers that they no longer have the time to get together and discuss school activities or pro- grams," Stinson said. The community expects too: much from both students and the teachers in today’s society the three teachers agreed. “Lehman district moves to handle own special ed B CHAROLOT M.
