She's always ready to ease your pain If you are sick or feel bad, She sure is the dandiest teacher, That any High School ever had. When anyone comes late to classes, Miss Shover greets them with a smile, Please don't let it happen again, ladf' she says, QWon't her patience wear out after 'while?J She certainly is a fine teacher, There's nothing she don't know about She'l1 stop and explain to you always, She never does leave you in doubt. Tech would simply be lost without her, She's ready for work and for play, We are telling the truth, Miss Shover, And we hope that you'll never go 'way. Somehow you seem just like a mother, You are helpful, and so patient, toog If you ever leave us, please remember That the students of Tech all love you.

What ever it was, her ability humbled Katrinka. She con- descended to take her part in the Res- toration, when in liew Marion Winters. Oh, Katrinka, I've got your um- brella and Anne has mine. They're almost exactly alike. Th'at's your um- brella, isn't it, Anne, the one Katrinka has? Susanne, left yours at my house. As the misused Katrinka moved away she called.

Some days Carl Har- ris thought he could not stand to keep his garden as it was situated between Mary Jordan's and Glenn Johnson's gardens. These girls delighted in teasing Carl. He thought at first that he could not keep the garden, but he soon became used to it and learned to tease the girls as much as they teased him. It was not only these girls and Carl that liked to tease, but Mr. Sanders liked it as much! as the pupils. Every chance that he found he played some joke on one of the pupils. So having these things to cheer us up when we grew tired, all of us enjoyed this term's work greatly. FAY DOUGLAS Tact John, said Miss Shover in one of her English classes, What is a simile? John hesitated then said, I-er-I don't know. :SNOW if you said, 'My hours at school are bright as sunshine,' what figure of speech is that? asked she.

Mr. Yenne is a civil engineer. He now has a scheme in his head to build a bridge across the Pacific. Mr. Spear is a contractor and builder. We un- derstand that he has just been award- ed the contract for the new govern- ment building at San Francisco. Mr. Craig is now a lieutenant in the 6th infantry. Mr. Mueller is still a teacher at Tech but he now teaches a boys' cooking class. He in- troduced the work as a side issue to help boys who were going camping. The course is so popular that he now devotes his entire time to it. Miss Fields is now the private secretary of John D. Rockafellow. Mr. Richard- son has retired with a big fortune, which he made as a snake charmer for Ringling Brothers. Miss Davis is manager of a dainty lunch and tea room. Reports have it that she cleared ten thousand on it last year. Miss Smith is physical director of the Los Angeles schools. Her high school classes are the best on the Pacific slope. Mr. Stuart is still principal of Tech which now has four- teen buildings and over three thous- and students. Miss Allen is book- keeper for the Indianapolis Street Cleaning Department. Under her direction this department of the city government has become so well or- ganized that it is a pattern for all other cities in the United States. Miss Lees spends all of her time now running her new auto. No person has a better record for safe and care- ful driving. Mr. Moutani is now con- ductng the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. After a successful season in this city, he is to take his orchestra to Lugano to fill an unusually good contract. Mr. St. John who is still at Tech has an Orchestra of seventy- five. They practice four nights a week and play in the Auditorum each Friday. He has the best High School Orchestra in the States. Mr. Buerck- holtz is a German teacher in Monrova, Siberia. His pupils write glowing accounts of his work. Mr. Collins is buildinng locomotives and planning signals but instead of running lris en- fCovztinued on page twentyj Mathematics iContiozued from page th'ree.j etry. Arithmetic deals with definite or known numbers, wlrile algebra deals with general or unknown num- bers. The unknown numbers some- times are more than one, in a single problem. Gradually from the deal- ings with' letters in Algebra I and II, the course runs into Geometry. Geom- etry is given in order to develop clear and logical thinking, by showing the succession of events in their natural order. This is the thing the geometry classes have been taught in the past semester. Grasp the principle of Geometry, is the slogan, even though you donlt remember the various proofs. If once the principle is learned, the propositions though per- haps forgotten during the summer, will come back to the mind in due course of time. With this in mind the Geometry I and II classes have been studying the book of Wentworth- Smith. The Geometry I's have cov- ered book one, while the 11's have covered books two three, four and five. Thus the course of Geometry is completed. The next step in the mathematics work goes back to Algebra. This is a very indefi- nite subject, and its results are seem- ingly few. Great patience and per- severance is required for this course. The teachers of some of these various classes are Mr. Sanders, Mr. Mills, Miss Hagely and Mr. Anderson. So, the mathemetics at Tech, with their assistance, is accomplished. 0 0 A 0.0 0.0 0.9 Technical at Crawfordsville Technical was not represented at Crawfordsville by any athletes but instead by a few rooters and a few musicians.

Darrel Montani, Albert Dougherty, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Wedeking were there represent- ing the Technical rooting force.
