JUST THREE STUDENTS comprise the graduating class at Montauk's Little Flower School. From left, they are John D'Agostino, Thomas Kravitz, and Rob­ert Torr. EikenBoti

Goodbye To MHT At this time next year Ethyl Comer­

ford will "probably be out planting ger­aniums," rattier than marking the last papers of the School year as she has this past spring and every spring since 1964, when she began her 19-year teaching career at Most Holy Trinity School in East Hampton.

Mrs. Comerford has taught first through fourth-grade students at the School since the year after she and her husband, Peter, moved from Queens to Noyac.

The younger students are die chil­dren she "feels most comfortable with. They're more eager to learn. I just re­late to diem better."

Watching her students grow is another pleasure, as is teaching their children, she said. "We're into the sec­ond generation now,* she added.

Back To Basics "We've really run the gamut," she

said of die educational changes she has seen. "We were in a more progressive stage then. There was more freedom. Now we're more disciplined. It's back tQ.dje,tttsics."

t H6ly Trinity School basics

include teaching children "about their church and about God." Although "die public school education is good and they learn their skills there well," she said she believes "there's more to life than that."

"I got involved with education be­cause of my love of children, and be­cause I wanted to share my love of God," Mrs. Comerford explained.

MHT Graduation At Saturday's Most Holy Trinity

School graduation, as the 13-year-olds in blue suits or white dresses with pink sashes stood in the sun waiting to file into die Church for the ceremony, Mrs. Comerford was one of the teach­ers who helped arrange die rose and babyVbreath bouquet each girl held.

On May 31 Mrs. Comerford was herself honored at the Church, with a special mass followed by a reception given by the parish.

Now, all that's left is to decide how to "enjoy Sag Harbor — Fvc just joined the LVIS there," said Mrs. Comer­ford. "We moved from Queens after vacationing here for many years. Now, FH just enjoy it."
