Who was your favorite teacher at New Trier? Why?
Tie between recently deceased Morris Barefield (Geometry) and Lyle Henderson (History, Soph Year). Mr. Barefield for his grace and patience, Mr. Henderson for instilling in me the love of History. I'll never forget him chuckling over a story about his time in WWII (where he was a Medic, I believe): claimed he blew up a whale that he thought was an enemy Sub; his buddies awarded him a harpoon. English teachers June Todd and Helen Moreau were fabulous as well. I also really liked my Advisor, French teacher Kathleen Dempsey - she was new our freshman year and not much older than us.
