ONTHORA HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER AWARDED JOHN HAY FSLLOWSHIP
Mr. Matthew J. Ostoyich, teacher of history, Onteora Central School, Boiceville, is
one of the 88 public high school teachers awarded John Hay Fellowships for a year of study
in the humanities during 1902-63, Dr. UVharles R. Keller, director of the John Hay Fellows
Frogram announced today. The awards total more than three quarters of a million dollars.
These 88 teachers selected from twenty-five states and the District of Coluubia
will receive a year’s leave from their schools to study in the humanities at one of six
universities: California, Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, Northwestern, and Yale, #ach
Fellow will receive a stipend equivalent to his salary in addition to full tuition,
health fee, and transportation costs for himself and his family, Significant is the fact
that more than half of the John Hay Feliows will receive part of their stipends from their
schools in the form of sabbatical or other pay.
In announcing the awards, Dr. Keller said: "The John Hay Fellows Program through
its year Fellowships and Summer Institutes in the Humanities is making a decided impact
on American education. The experiences gained by John Hay Fellows enable them to be
among the leaders in the educational revolution - in curriculum, in approaches to learning,
and in the aims of education = which is taking place in the United States."
The John Hay Program was established in 1951 by the Jchn Hay Whitney Foundation
and named for Mr. Whitney's grandfather, John Hay, who was Secretary of State under
Presidents McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. The Fro,ram is operated by the Greennood
Fund and the Ford Foundation. The Frogram emphasizes the humanities. It provides
experiences which enable teachers to grow as human beings, and, with their intellectual
batteries recharged, to return to their schools and school systems with increased wisdom
and new vigor and enthusiasm. It recognizes and encourages excel’.ence among rublic
4 oes a Se
high school teachers believing that the recognition of excellence begets excellence.
Teachers are selected from schools and school systems interested in making the
best possible use of the time end talents of good teachers and in developing practices
designed to break educational lock steps, such as: continuous curricular rethinking
based on a thorough knowledge of new developments in basic subjects, on flexibility, and
on an understanding of the need for effective articulation of work done at different
educational levels; Advanced Placement Program work; team teaching; variety in size and
length of classes; independent work for students with increased use of libraries; ungraded
elementary and secondary schools; programmed instruction; the effective use of television
and films; school construction to implement up-to-date curriculum planning; a redefining
of education to put the emphasis on learning rather than on teaching.
Mr. Ostoyich is a resident of Cementon, attended the Cementon slementary School and
Catskill High School. He received the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees from
the State University of New York, College at Albany. Mr. Ostoyich will spend his year
of study at the University of Chicago. He has been a member of the Onteora faculty since
September 1957, and, has been Chairman of the Social Studies department since September,
1959. In 1961, Mr. Ostoyich was awarded a Fellowship from the University of Rochester
to study at their Latin-American Institute during the summer session, He is a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ostoyich of Cementon.
