Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes ... 1976 to 2006: Mr. McPhillips Reflects

Jenna Chabot '09 and Shayla Kelley-Truman '09

Out of all the hardworking veteran teachers at Diman, Mr. McPhillips may not have been at Diman the longest. But this year marks 30 full years of teaching for this math teacher. We asked Mr. McPhillips to think back on the changes he's noticed in the past 30 years and to compare what goes on in 2006 with what was going on way back in ... 1976.
