FIVE CLEANING HACKS YOU'LL LOVE
(42 on Buzz Feed's Website)
1. If you have pieces of burnt, spilled food in your oven, a combination of dish soap, baking soda, and water is all you need to make it disappear.
2. Or, for an even easier way to clean your oven, place a shallow cookie sheet on the
bottom rack of your oven (or a reusable liner) to catch any spills.
3. Line refrigerator shelves with washable mats to prevent any dreaded spills from drying, getting crusty, and becoming impossible to clean off. Plus: it's much easier to wash these mats than your entire fridge shelf!
4. Soak your showerhead in a plastic bag filled with vinegar and a sprinkle of baking soda for a couple of hours, and then proceed to be shocked at how much mildew, rust, and build-up dissolves away.
5. Blast away all that stuck-on grime in your shower with this mold and mildew remover spray (RMR Instant Mold & Mildew Stain Removal so powerful, it could lift the filth from an old abandoned house. Or that one suspiciously stained corner of your shower.
...Through this program, students will be able to fly solo by age 16, earn their Private Pilot License by 17, achieve Certified Flight Instructor by 18, and become an Airline Pilot by 21.

COVID TRAVELING - (Part One)
MY COVID ROAD TRIP
By Maryann Portone, Class of 1965
I have traveled a bit this year, but all of my trips have been by auto. I am not yet comfortable with flying, and I probably won't be until more people are vaccinated and we are in a better place regarding this pandemic.
Unfortunately, my trips were all tempered by the fact that I had a foot/ankle injury that inhibited my mobility. In May and June, I was in pain and limping badly. In July, I had surgery to repair the tears. By my September trip, I was walking, unsteadily; however, I wasn't permitted to go into the ocean. I was permitted to go onto the beach only if wearing my huge moonboot wrapped in a trash bag. I was also allowed to go into the pool only on one foot. Needless to say, I was quite the conversation piece on the beach and at the pool.
My traveling companion to South Carolina was my friend, Maureen, who sympathetically adjusted to my issues and helped me when necessary.
Williamsburg, Virginia
In May, we took a road trip to the South, visiting Virginia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. First, we visited Colonial Williamsburg. One of the days was sunny and fairly warm, so the resort opened their pool. There was limited attendance, and very few people were wearing masks.
Even though I was double vaccinated in March, I wore my mask and tried to stay socially distant as much as possible. The resort required masks while indoors, and assured guests that sanitized “clean” pens were used at the front desk.
These were the only accommodations to Covid protocol. At the historic site, masks were required on the shuttle bus and in all indoor facilities, but there was no social distancing.
Gas Shortages
While we were in Virginia, the gas crisis happened—and we saw lines at the gas pumps blocks long. By the time we left Williamsburg, the lines were gone because none of the stations had any gasoline.
It was so strange to see plastic bags over all of the gas-pump dispensers. Fortunately, I was able to find a gas station off of I-95 in Virginia who still had gasoline.
Myrtle Beach
Once in Myrtle Beach, I found a few stations with gas; but the lines were long and the prices had jumped considerably. South Carolina usually has cheap gas, but not this time. So, the four states affected by this crisis were Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, and I visited three of the four.
While in Myrtle Beach, I noticed a different mindset regarding Covid protocol. Masks were rarer, and social distancing almost non-existent. One night for dinner, we went to my favorite seafood buffet restaurant. As usual, the line, was out the door. However, people were lined up back-to-back with very few wearing masks.
When I asked the hostess about that, she said, "We stopped doing that several weeks ago." But, it was required that people wore plastic gloves when getting their food at the buffet.
Later in the week, I told my family members about this experience. My nephew told me,
“South Carolina never thought there was a pandemic."
North Carolina
Some of my family members live in North Carolina, so we stopped to visit them before coming home. There, I found more people wearing masks and observing social distancing. It was great seeing my family members after not having seen them for two years!
Atlantic City
In June, I went to Atlantic City for a week. Masks were required indoors, but no one was wearing them at the pool, on the beach or on the boardwalk. In the casinos and in the restaurants, everyone was wearing a mask because, I think, they were mandated. I believe New Jersey was one of the Northeast states where the pandemic was addressed seriously.
Back to Myrle Beach
In September, we went back to Myrtle Beach, spending a week in a resort on the beach. Once again, masks were seen indoors, usually, but never outdoors. By this time, many people were vaccinated, but the Delta variant had stirred things up again. At the seafood buffet, the situation was the same—no masks, long close lines and gloves were required to obtain food.

FRANKFORD HIGH SCHOOL -- FACULTY PROFILES
REBECCA WIZOV
Modern Band Teacher
Cheerleader Coach
Music Whisperer
“Music can name the un-nameable and communicate the unknowable.”
Leonard Bernstein
F-A.COM: How long have you taught at Frankford as a music teacher and choir director? Do you have any other responsibilities?
REBECCA WIZOV: This is my 2nd year at Frankford. In addition to leading the choir, I teach our modern band class which consists of a popular music ensemble, and I am the cheerleading coach for football & competition season.
F-A.COM: Where did you attend high school and college and when did you graduate?
REBECCA WIZOV: I attended Egg Harbor Township High School (in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey) and graduated in 2013.
F-A.COM: What were your immediate goals upon arriving at Frankford?
REBECCA WIZOV: My immediate #1 goal was to start a choir and use the “introduction to music” course I was teaching to give students a creative outlet to express themselves.
F-A.COM: What challenges did you overcome? What are your joys?
REBECCA WIZOV: Students lack of interest in music—especially those who were placed in my class anyway. I had to try a bunch of different methods to get them to participate.
My joys were finding the students that had a true passion and love for music, but didn’t necessarily have any foundation to build upon. I loved giving them the basic skills and tools to have fun performing music.
F-A.COM: What or who inspired you to become a music teacher? Who are your sheroes or heroes?
REBECCA WIZOV: My teachers growing up definitely inspired me. Not only the music teachers—although I had a wonderful relationship with them. They taught me a lot about who I am as a musician.
My high school French teacher and calculus teacher were also inspiring mentors. I learned how to foster meaningful relationships with students and that teaching more than just my subject is part of the job.
My parents are a also big reason I became a music teacher. I’m grateful that they initiated my love for music by signing me up for piano lessons as a mere 5-year- old.
They also respected my wishes when I decided to quit those lessons in middle school, but supported me when I began singing lessons.
They’ve been there every step of the way in my growth as a musician and now as a teacher, and I owe it all to them!
FA-COM: What plans do you have to build the music/arts program at Frankford?
REBECCA WIZOV: I want the choir program to continue to grow! I would like to, someday soon, have multiple choir classes during the day. That’s the goal.
Eventually, once I have a large number of singers, I’ll have two different ensembles—a non-auditioned group and an “advanced” audition group. And maybe I’ll add an a cappella group in the future, as well.
I’m looking forward to growing my modern band program, and having those students accompany the choir during performances. I’m also looking forward to seeing our orchestra and concert band grow under the direction of my colleague, Brittany Cramer.
F-A.COM: I understand you're also the cheerleading coach. What challenges have you experienced with the cheerleading squad?
REBECCA WIZOV: I’ve experienced a lack of commitment and consistency with the student athletes. It’s also extremely difficult managing an after school sport with all of the responsibilities that come with being a music teacher.
F-A.COM: I saw a cheerleading competition video from several years ago and was very impressed. Have they competed in any competitions since you have led it?
REBECCA WIZOV: This is my first year as the coach. Yes, we competed in the district cheerleading competition in December. The team did a wonderful job, especially considering the fact that all but four or five athletes were brand new to cheerleading.
F-A.COM: Do the students audition for choir and cheerleading? What do you look for in a choir member and cheerleader?
No, unfortunately I do not have enough students to hold auditions. If you want to join, you’re in.
With cheerleading, if you don’t commit to coming to practice and participating, then you cannot be a part of the team. It’s the same with choir—however, because it’s a roster course, it’s a bit different.
The students will still “be” in choir, but if they have poor attendance/participation, they will fail the class.
In choir, I look for students to be motivated, willing to learn, and to love singing. They do not need to have experience, as long as they are open to being taught and eager to learn.
Cheerleading should be the same, but the students also need to be aware of the physicality that comes with cheerleading. On the surface, cheerleading isn’t as rigorous of a sport…but there’s A LOT of work that goes with it.
So, in order to be a cheerleader, students need to commit to doing the physical work that comes with it, aka conditioning!
F-A.COM: As a teacher, how have you prepared students for the post-high school world?
REBECCA WIZOV: Many of my students will not continue on to be professional musicians, music educators, etc. However, I believe my class has taught students how to appreciate music and how to express themselves and use music as an outlet.
My students will need that outlet when in the real world, work, college…whatever it may be. You don’t need anything physical, but your voice to be able to sing, and have the confidence to sing, which is built into my music class.
The simplest joy is being able to pick up a guitar, or sit at the piano, and play your favorite song. It can help you escape from the real world and become calm or relaxed.
F-A.COM: What advice would you give 2019 grads? What was the best advice given to you at that age. Finally, what is your favorite quote?
REBECCA WIZOV: My advice to 2019 grads is to never give up! Find something that you have a true passion for, and work hard towards that goal. Also. self care is not selfish!
It’s important to take care of yourself. Don’t overwork yourself to the point where you become run down--especially in your first year of college.
Find something that brings you joy to balance out with studies that might be difficult.

"I was scouted by Marvel. Which is funny because my agent and I had been strategizing on how to get on Marvel’s radar when Axel Alonso (then the editor-in-chief) called me out of the blue."
"He’d picked up a copy of my novel, PATIENT ZERO, enjoyed it and thought that my brand of action, character development, and humor would be a good fit. So he invited me to write for him. I started with an eight-page Wolverine story as a back-up to that year’s anniversary issue; then got a gig to write a very adult, very edgy Punisher comic."

STEVEN HUNT, CLASS OF 75
FROM TECH STARTUPS TO
GLOBE-TROTTING
"I was very fortunate to graduate first in my class of EE’s (Electrical Engineering) at Drexel. This gave me the opportunity to go to work for Bell Laboratories."
"At that time, this was one of the preeminent research and development firms in the world. But to work as an engineer there you needed a masters degree. So, they sent me all expense paid to Stanford to get that degree."
"When I returned to the Labs my main focus was on learning as many different areas of technology as I could. The best way to manage technology is to understand it."
"...Every time an opportunity came up to do more than just design – including cross project coordination, project leadership, etc – I took it and learned as much as I could about how to optimize the results."
"...At that point it was just a matter of expanding on what I learned and always growing. As my mother used to say “you should stop learning when they close the lid”.

FRANKFORD CLASS OF 1959--64TH CLASS REUNION
On Thursday Oct.19th some members of the Jan. 1959 Graduation Class met for our 64th Class Reunion Luncheon at the Huntingdon Valley Country Club. We have met annually for lunch since our 50th Reunion except for the 2 years of Covid. The number of people attending has dropped due to illness, living out of state and death. We had a wonderful time reminiscing about our school years and our families! We have already set a date to meet on the third Thursday in October 2024.

Sue Feola Journeys to Ephesus and Embraces the Biblical & Historical beauty of the restored Ancient Ruins.
My 19-day adventure took me to Turkey, Greece, Ephesus, Crete, Santorni, Cyprus, Scicily, Rhodes, Salerno, Malta and Rome.
Every day was the best day. My favorite place was Ephesus. It was historically magnificent. They recreated and restored an ancient Greek community. We walked among the columns and saw the marketplace and Bible walked on.
You had to be in good shape. There was a lot of walking. I went to a winery in Cypress--tasted and purchased a blue wine.
The cruise was 14 days. We spent a total of five days before the cruise in Rome and a day after the cruise. In Rome, when they dug up the dirt when building the subway, they often discovered ancient ruins. You can see ancient ruins in a modern subway through a glass window.
This was the trip of a lifetime.
