    Who remembers Mr. Filacy's art classes? I remember when we did block printing by carving linoleum tiles, rolling ink on them and printing on paper. There was blood and bandages everywhere because the carving instruments would slip and cut our hands. Everyone was injured!!! We were like art warriors!!! Irene Nagy Talerico

    I recall Mr Filacy (is that the spelling?), perhaps the only Willard teacher my tired old' brain recalls. He was a distinctive character! --Bob Marlow

    In Mr. Filacy's 5th grade class, in the basement, we had strung wires connecting several boyscout morse code keys. I don't recall who was sending messages during a spelling test but that was the end of morse code in class. Little did we know that we had discovered..."Social Networking in 1962/63. - John Millar

    Mr. Filacy was my favorite teacher of all time. I loved the way he integrated art with other subjects, and I still remember making gridlines on a small map of the eastern US, and then making larger versions of the map on a big sheet of paper grid by grid (life lesson in breaking down large tasks into more manageable pieces), the objective being to fill in Civil war battle sites with red and blue arrows depicting the routes of the opposing sites. Also of course the infamous block prints. My parents had one of the ones I made for many years and BELIEVE IT OR NOT I HAVE IT HANGING IN MY HOUSE NOW! I remember there was a small room adjacent to the main classroom that we could use for artwork, and spending a lot of time there working on projects.
