  • An Historical Overview of the Emerson High School Teaching Staff, 1909-1974
    Emerson High School Teaching Staff, 1909-1974 An Historical Overview of the Emerson High School Teaching Staff, 1909-1974 by Kendall Svengalis Class of 1965 As I look back on my years at Emerson (1953-56 and 1959-65, with a 3-year hiatus at the newly opened Aetna Elementary), I have become more fully aware of what a great school it was, and what wonderful, dedicated teachers we had. After all, schools are not buildings, though we had a fine one, but the personalities who give it life and character. As a member of the Class of 1965, I was there at the end of an era that was defined by the presence of a number of teachers who were nearing the end of their careers and who made Emerson a unique place of learning and character development. As I research the biographies of these faculty members, I thought I would share with you some of my findings for which Ancestry.com, the Gary Post Tribune , the Emerson alumni newsletter, Gold to Gray , and conversations with their survivors have been of enormous assistance. My spreadsheet of faculty members on the Emerson65.com web site lists the names and subject specialties of 674 teachers who taught high school, mostly, between the years 1909 and 1974 (the last yearbook in my collection). By the time the original Emerson closed in 1981, the total number of high school faculty who served between 1909 and 1981 probably numbered close to 850 (reflecting an estimated average of about 24 new hires each year between 1974 and 1981).
