I have several to mention at old Sunny Hills.
Of course Mrs Johnson with her tremendous passion and Drama for Drama serve Richard , I and Alma Becker on to eventual careers in Drama, and many others to a passion for that art. In addition there was Michael Xavier Corrado, a gentleman with style to the extreme was an very fine English teacher. He spoke the King's English and really cared. Probably one of the most successful teachers of my time was Topper Smith, speech and music teacher. We won many , many speech tournaments . These were all folks with passion and knowledge and a lot of personality. As I remember their passion frequently rubbed the administration the wrong way , but it made all the difference to me. Just mention one teachers at NIcolas Jr High. the Social Studies teacher Mr McLain who I loved dearly and can see before me now. He was warm and made history alive!

A '67 Lancer writes --

Paul, here is my list of favorite SHHS teachers and coaches.  Some of them were profound positive influences in shaping my view of the world in transcendent ways.
 
My most memorable and favorite teachers from an academic perspective at SHHS were:
1.  Maxine Randolph and Fran Obler, English – a tie.
2.  Evelyn Root, Latin.
3.  Gen. Walter Baylor, USMC, Physics.
4.  Paul Snyder, Math.
5.  Wally Esgate, German.
6.  Julie Ritner, English.
7.  Louise Vinson, Economics [she also taught the course in Civics, I believe].    
8.  William J. Kerrigan (formerly of the Society of Jesus), Latin.
9.  Harry Baker, Biology.
The four teachers who affected me most in terms of taking a personal interest in me and giving me advice outside of class about college, career and life were Randolph, Obler, Esgate and Kerrigan.
 
My favorite coaches were:
A.  Garner Barnett
B.  Bill Lingenfelder
C.  Wayne Payne
D.  Gordon McCall
Of the coaches, the most influential long-term was Payne, who gave me some excellent advice about how to think about sports, winning and losing; and he made me realize for the first time that sports is an allegory for life itself and that what I learned on the athletic field would give me strength and insight that could be applied in every field of endeavor.
