AMBROSE Apple Eaters . .. Arkansas City senior high school has a total of twenty-eight teachers and every one of them is exceptional in wil- lingness to help and ability to join in the student activities. One of the first persons we think of in connection with helpfulness is Miss Alice Carrow who has charge of the high school library. Miss Carrow has been librarian in A. C. for some time and she is always remembered by the former graduates. Miss Olive M. Ramage is a graduate of the Ottawa University, and she has an A. B. degree. She teaches World His- tory to sophmores and juniors. Allen E. Maag and Amos Curry teach History and Constitution and Problems. These teach- ers are all very well liked by their pu- pils. Teachers of Biology are Lewis Cooley, and Herschel Clark. They are both new teachers in A. C. H. S. but rapidly are gaining popularity. Kelsey Day is also a teacher of Biology, but he spends part of his day teaching Chemistry to am- bitious minded juniors and seniors. Mr. Day is a favorite among the students and he is sponsor of the Pep Club. We have two Davis' in A. C. H. S. One is Miss Edith Davis and the other is Mr. J. D. Davis. Miss Davis is the Physical Education and Physiology teacher. Mr. Davis teaches Public Speak- ing and English. He also is the director of all plays the senior high produces. This includes the Public Speaking Play and the Senior Play. Miss Henrietta Courtright, a new comer to our high school, is now teach- ing Mathematics. She is very dignified and is liked very much by students who know her. E. H. Piper, also teacher of Mathematics, has been here for many years. He is the sponsor of the Hi-Y and he keeps that organization up in top style and with modern ideas. The study hall is under the reign of Mrs. Daisy Hamit. Mrs. Hamit tries to keep the students in study hall quiet and industrious. She usually succeeds or the unruly person finds himself in the office gazing ruefully at the clock. Miss Esther Denton is the Home Eco- nomics teacher. She teaches home-minded girls to sew and cook. Girls who have the experience of being taught by Miss Dent- on usually can be told by their neatness and efficiency. Mr. T. C. Faris is the instructor in Agriculture. His boy students are consid- ered some of the best F.F.A. members in the state. They come home with many prizes on animal judging and other types of Argicultural activities. F. D. Modlin in the Printing Depart- ment is making a name for himself and his printing students through his e- fficient and thorough work. The Ark Light and lvlirror have few typographical errors compared to other high school pa- pers that come from schools which boast their own high school presses. Beryl Harbaugh, Spanish teacher, is one of the prettiest teachers in the school She is sweet and kind to all her pupils and is one of the favorites with students. She teaches bookkeeping. The students in way, thus helping her students to under- stand a difficult subject. Charles L. Hinchee supervises the vo- cal music of senior and junior high. He directs the Messiah, the biggest musical project given in Ark City every year, and the annual operetta. He teaches Glee Club and Chorus. Mr. Hinchee under- stands the difficulties of students and helps them in their troubles. The Physics teacher is one of the most faithful ttachers of A. C. H. S. She has taught Physics here for many years and we hope she will teach for many more. Of course, you all know we are talking about Miss Gaye Iden, one of the nicest teach- ers we can know about in senior high. Miss Wilma Imes is spending her se- cond year in Arkansas City senior high. She teaches bookkeeping. The students in high school all appreciate her interest PAGE 9
