RN 3, S&S WL } OT oh 2 gots 5 Vv 1 N — FIFTEEN CENTS Alice and Carl Heilman look over some of the awards given at Carl’s retirement Carl Heilman, Mount Joy, retires after 50 years of math education Carl Heilman, Mount Joy, recently retired after 20V2 years with the State Depart- ment of Mathematics Edu- cation, and after more than 50 years in the field of mathematics and education. He considers himself a very fortunate man. ‘I new when 1 started high school that I wanted to teach mathematics. 1 have done just that for the last 50%: years, and I have never regretted it,” he says. Being a mathematician, Mr. Heilman had a very special way of choosing his retirement date. ‘‘They told me last August, after fifty years in education, that for tax purposes I should work until the beginning of 1980. “I was not sure just when I would retire, until one day the perfect date popped into my mind. That date was January 9, 1980.” Why this particular date? Mr. Heilman explains. “‘By adding the month and the year (1 and 80) you have the perfect square of the day (9). 81 is also a perfect fourth power of three,” he grins. His wife Alice smiles at this, also. ‘‘Numbers are so interesting,’ she says. ‘“We have them taking on meanings everywhere we look. Carl and 1 were married July 11, or 7-11!” The Heilmans met at Elizabethtown College when Alice was the librarian and Carl returned from a three year teaching stint at Syracuse University. ‘“Everyone kept telling me ‘You just wait until Carl Heilman comes back.’ I was so sick of hearing about Carl Heilman. But look what happened.” “Several people like to take credit for our getting together,”” added Carl. ‘But I think we did just fine on our own.” The Heilman’s have lived in their present home in Mount Joy ever since they were married. Carl Heilman began his teaching career with twelve years in New Jersey high schools. He then taught at Elizabethtown College for five, went to Syracuse for three and returned to Elizabethtown for ten more years. The last 20%: years were spent with the Depart- ment of Education. At the time of his retirement he was given a luncheon by his - fellow employees. “I had to think while at my retirement luncheon how like a funeral it was. All of these people were saying nice things about me, but anlike a funeral, I got to hear them. I recommend a retirement luncheon over a funeral,”’ he laughed. His favorite momento of the event was the coat of arms that his fellow employ- ees made for him. ‘‘It sums him up pretty well,” says Alice. The dedication reads ‘“‘Heil Grosser Witzbold”’ (Heilman is a Pennsylvania Dutchman) which translates ‘‘Hail Great Punster’’. It follows as below: He hobbles around crying ‘“‘who’s for badmitten? “It’s much better for you than just sittin.”’ We react by agreeing to go to the gym Where he shows us our athletic prowess is dim. “Pll give you a break—Ilet’s change the game.” But in racquetball our fate is the same.
