THE ARSENAL CANNCN 19 A red headed girl is Ester Wood, She wore a rusty colored hood. With rosy cheeks is Rachel Todd, Her best loved fish is the cod. A quick briglrt boy is Jamie Scott, A little argument makes him hot. A little boy, Wayne McMeans, Always studying, to me, it seems.

Much powder on the face of Marjorie Killie, Goes a long way toward making her look silly. Fancy skirts has Lorraine Free, For they are draped as you may see.

Aifancy boy the Pangborn Earl, His cuff buttons are always set with pearl. A funny girl Miss Erma Turk, She often in the corrider did lurk. It takes Mr. Samuel Newman, To keep everything a boomin'.

18 THE ARSENAL CANNON Our Teachers' Future fContinued from page seventeefrnj and controls her private fly about and touring soarerf' Miss Frick is a teacher at Bonn University, where she started her course in 1914. 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. Russel Cook. Paul Burns, Everett Hughes, Merle Long and Floyd Wrenrick played in the Manu- al Band and represented the talent of Technical. Arthur Hewitt, Ralph Shimer, Frank Hoke. Darrel Montani, Albert Dougherty, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Wedeking were there represent- ing the Technical rooting force.

20 THE ARSENAL CANNON sk JC-6,00L riff' Unlucky Sophomore A Sophomore was hastily going down the steps with Miss McCullough when she suddenly exclaimed, Oh! I forgot a package that is up stairs! I shall hurry and perhaps I can catch up Witha you. She ran up the steps but it took some time to get the bun- dle. When she came back she thought she would not get down quickly enough so she decided to slide down the banister as she had done many other times. Well, she started all right but she was talking to another girl. In her chat with the other girl she forgot what she was doing and as she reached the bottom, she lost her balance and down she Went on the hard steps. Miss McCullough ran to her and helped her up and now the Sophomore is suffering from a sprained Wrist. I guess she will use the steps after this. LUCILE CLEMENS.
