Mr. Hopk1'n1 M1'. Meadozvr the Boy Scouts emblem at Scout Headquarters. Dean of boys at school and officiating at football and basketball games, Mr. Hopkins knows in what things boys are interested. Mr. Meadows, fourteen M zkf W1'tt4'nbu11g couting can be indirectly called Civilian Defense because it trains us to become good citi- zens, and teaches us how to de- fend our rights. Although they don't have scout troops of their own, several of our teachers help with other scout troops. Miss Alberta Wittenbtlrg is shown at Lipper left with her troop of girl scouts. She instructs a typing class in our school and makes an excellent teacher because of her interest in hiking, camping, bik- ing and activities that would in- terest girls of this age. Mr. R. E. Hopkins and Mr. Carl Meadows are both interest- ed in scouting and take hikes with the boys several times a year. They are shown at lower left admiring an enlargement of who is now a Marine, had an insect and leaf collection in connection with his biology classes and was interested in anything having to do with nature.

She is at the upper right leafing through a magazine. Miss Iohnston is one of our teachers who likes nature in general :who likes the nature you meet along the paths and in the hills. ln spite of the fact that the teachers are around the building most of the winter, they take advantage of the spring and summer days to make up for lost tim e. Miss Marie Trowbridge and Miss Ruth Hazlebeck, at the lower left, are descending the stairs at lunch time. They both teach math- ematics. Bliss Hazlebeck enjoys reading, plays ft' jllirf Trowbridge Mm Hazlrfbffrk M131 .Simitla Mzlrt Muffrfr' A'b1f.f Wyafzt , V the cello, and was a member of the Portsmouth l,ittle Symphony last year. 'lihough Miss Hazle- beck knits for The Red Cross, Bliss Trowbridge admits that needlework is one of her weaknesses. She has a great interest in birds and therefore likes to hike. At lower center, we find Miss Margaret Smith, linglish teacher and TROIAN sponsor. Flowers are the part of nature she enjoys and it's an un- usual sight to see her desk withoufsome. Another member of our English staff, Miss Isabel Musser, and Miss Hazel Wyiint, one of our History teachers, don't seem to mind our inter- rupting them for this picture. Miss MLISSCFVS love of nature is shown through her personal collection of pictures. Hiking intrigues Miss VVyant who is also doing nutrition work for defense. thirteen
