IVhaf s in a J (ame? Roland E. Brooks (Superintendent) Yes. sir. Brooks—but by no means a babbling Brook. When Mr. Brooks opens his mouth and speaks, we understand why Shakespeare said what he did about sermons in stones and running Brooks. His apt way of proclaiming our transgressions takes the sting out of them and makes him beloved by even the worst of us. J. O. ALLEN (Principal) Manhood not scholarship is the first aim of education. With ideals like this behind them the A. H. S. graduates cannot fail to go far and accomplish much. Mr. Allen docs the difficult thing and sets the example to illustrate his theory. Mary L. Brosnan (History) Nature made her what she is and never made such another. Well, frankly, how could even nature make another to equal Miss Mamie? If you don’t know what to do. ask her— she’ll tell you. and make you think that you thought of it yourself. Jessie B. Whitmore (History) Miss Whitmore means just what she says and not a Whitmore for less). She believes in being yourself and as applied to Miss Jessie B. Whitmore, that suits us just fine. Eugenia W. Stone (Latin) And a peculiar Stone she is. too. Rather like an opal—changeable, but delightful in all her aspects. The teacher, who above all others, can show us our faults and make us anxious to reform. Bessie Turner Dobbins (Latin) Dobbins, yes, but there is nothing mulish about our Latin instructor. She merely states a fact, that is all—and if we venture to protest? Well, it just isn’t done. Claire Greene (English) Just what's in a name? Green—and we bet her relatives call her Red or Carrot. She’s the lady who manages to enjoy a joke hugely with her eyes, and not crack a smile the whole time. Frances S. Garvin (English) Where words are scarce, they arc seldom spent in vain. Miss Garvin makes her actions speak for themselves: for instance, we’ve heard that she serves ice cream at her club meetings. I j Billie Love (English) Do we love Miss Billie Love? Foolish question! One good reason for this is that instead of packing up her troubles in the old kit bag. she has never been known to unpack them. She just hasn’t got them. The big reason though is smile, smile, smile. Flora Dawson Terry (French) Behold the owner of the elusive Regent’s. All of us are convinced that Mrs. Terry knows more about French than the Frenchmen—so don’t try to argue.

I hronqtecska O Marylou Britt (Science) Miss Britt has the admiration and respect of every one who ever opened a physics book. She actually sees sense in it. Clara Gibbs Dally (Science) There is no dilly dallying’' in Miss Daily’s room. She knows her science—you know she knows it—you know that you must know yours or 'dally’’ long in learning it. Lacy Stephens Terry (Science) This is Fess, who told the Freshmen what to expect if the world stopped turning around; and then struck them speechless with the rat experiment. Orion Mitchell (Mathematics) Mr. Mitchell produces both geometry sharks and football heroes. He is equally good at both but excites more interest with his gridiron stars. FLORA Cox (Mathematics) Miss Cox is a good ’Math'’ teacher but have you seen her P. C. Club perform? They certainly swing a wicked baseball bat. Willie Wood (Mathematics) Wood? Would what? Would teach Freshmen Algebra, that’s what! Miss Wood is famous for having the most infectious laugh in high school. Bonnie Hunter (Mathematics) And a Bonnie good Hunter is she! She actually found brains in Freshmen, besides being able to find square roots any time of the day. Sybil Hampton Moran (Home Economics) Everything, from broken legs and heart trouble to indigestion and injured feelings, finds its way to Mrs. Moran. She always knows what to do for them. H. M. Mills (Commercial) This is a Mill that grinds slow and exceedingly fine. When Mr. Mills sends one of his products into the business world, great things are expected of him. Esther B. Waddell (Commercial) Experience is by industry achieved, and perfected by the swift course of time. This applies to Mrs. Waddell’s method of teaching typewriting. The results speak well for the motto and the teacher. Elizabeth Sneed Bell (Music) And a melodious Bell she is. Just this year she has to her credit an operetta and a minstrel, besides numerous musical programs for chapel. She has trained an orchestra that is a credit to the Albany High School. Page Eight
