To be in her class is like being in a friendly group all conversing on a subject they all intensely admire. Miss Johnson never misses speaking to a student whom she meets in the hall. Paul Johnson, journalism instructor and economics and sociology teacher, sup- ervises the publishing of the Ark Light and Mirror. He likes his subjectg there- fore, he teaches it in an interesting way. Mr. Johnson has the thanks of all journa- lism students for help in difficulties. Typing is a pleasure when Miss Daisy Matney is teaching. Miss Matney teaches Commerce and she is another one of our new teachers. She came to Arkansas City to teach last year and made a success in everything she attempted. Miss Matney is sponsor of the publicity committee of the Girl Reserves. We all know Miss Lillie Nemecheck by her brisk manner and surprising en- ergy. She teaches English to sophomores and juniors and used to be an extremely adept Geometry and Algebra teacher. Miss Nemecheck is also a sponsor of one of the various committees of the Girl Reserves. The girls might not know Everett Nicholson personally, but they all like him from listening to his many speeches made in chapel during the football and basketball season. The boys all know him ard regard him as one of their favorite teachers. He puts Ark City's teams over in both football and basketball. This year the A. C. Bulldogs were one of the best teams at the state tournament. Latin is taught by Miss Helen Silver- wood. Miss Silverwood makes Latin a living instead of dead language. She tea- ches all three years of Latin in senior high and helps the students to learn more easily a rather hard subject. She rates as one of the best-liked teachers. W. A. Sneller's name is connected with Industrial Arts. His students, mostly 12 boys, learn quickly how to design a house and build one, besides learning to do many smaller things. To Mr. Sneller an inch can be a mile. Although he is not so well known among the students he is very well liked. History and Commerce are both taught by Merle K. Snyder. Mr. Snyder came to teach in Ark City for the first time this year. Salesmanship is one of Mr. Snyflerls subjects and most of the students he turns out after having spent a semester in his class can sell anything fwell mosh anythingl. We have two teachers of English, one for the sophomores and one for the jun- iors. Miss Virginia Weisgerber is teacher to the sophomores and her sweet manner helps confused and wondering little soph- omores get through a year of hardship and worry. Sophomores finish their first year in senior high feeling grateful to Miss Weisgerber and seniors remember her long after they have graduated. The other teacher of English is Miss Edna L. Wheatley. Miss Wheatley is English teacher to the juniors and what they don't know about synonyms and oth- er English matters isn't worth mention- ing. Every student Who takes from Miss Wheatley is so much wiser at the end of the year than he was at the beginning that he feels entitled to be called a sen- ior. Archie San Romani is in charge of the band and orchestra. The band under his supervision plays at all high school ac- tivities and some junior college activities. The orchestra gave concerts for the first time this spring and through the work of Mr. San Romani they were successes. The seniors in the class of 1987 wish to express their gratitude to a gtoup of the best teachers any high school ever provided. They are cooperative, friendly, and always willing to help a student. Their friendliness gives a welcome and makes every student feel that he is work- ing with his teacher, rather than under him. iff! N lllf 2 j - - X G 'lf li . Il 1 nl, .Qi 1' .425-.

JACK HALL MARY PICKETT President Secretary The senior council, an or- ganization of seniors of marked leadership and schol- astic ability, accomplished a good deal for their class of 1937. The members of the council, Robert Gillock, Rob- eit Balsters, Alan Jacobson, Glenn Montague, Jack Hall, Bette Hamilton, Mary Pick- ett, Kathryn Curfman, and Evelyn Broderson, served as a comrnitte to select the an- nouncements and class jewel- ry. The senior sponsors, A.E. Maag, Beryl Harbaugh, J.D. Davis, Gaye Iden, Helen Sil- verwood, and Inez Johngon, forgot their positions as tea- chers and mentors and enter- ed into the senior meetings with the feeling that they, too, were working for the good of the class as a whole. A.E. Maag served as Mir- ror sponsor and J.D. Davis produced the senior play which was a marked success. Miss Harbaugh took charge of the class jewelry and showed excellent taste in her choice. Helen Silverwood is sponsor of the senior picnic and is Girl Reserve sponsor. PAGE 14 Jack Hall was president of the senior class of 1937.
