MR. GEORGE C. BRUSH Principal His eyes are jolly, large and brown, They often smile and rarely frowng In rooms, in office, and in hall He stands supreme above us all. MISS ANNIE C. WIERSON Personal Adviser She aids us all our high school days Thus helping us gain a name of praise. MISS MARY JANE MIREK 281 Her voice is low, her manner sweet, Such a charming lady is hard to meetg She is not alone our joy and pride, She soon will be a blushing bride. MRS. EDNA B. CLARK 285 There's penmanship, filing, typing and stenog That keeps our minds all a-whirl, But you just bet, we'll be secretaries yet, For our teacher, Mrs. Clark is SOME GIRL. MR. OSCAR A.

MISS LOUISE GRAHAM 45o When not guiding and taking care of her very important Section, Miss Graham reigns supreme in Portable ll over a flock of poor, struggling Latin students. She is much be- loved by the members of her Section who organized, this semester, the club, Graham Crackers, named in her honor. MISS HELEN RICHARDS H4580 Miss Richards, a long-suffering member of our math. department, devotes her time to the thankless job of driving angles, arcs, segments, circles, etc., into the skulls of the world's future Mathematical Wizards. She is leaving Austin to be principal of a grammar school, where she will spend her efforts in preparing youngsters for high school agony. MR. ANDREW NICHOLS 0459 lvfr. Nichols is our history teacher, who entertains us with quaint recitations of thc antics of Frankie, Charlie, and the baby. He sits with the world hanging over his head, expounding wisdom between sips of liquid from his thermos bottle. He helps poor, deluded employers by sending them bril- liant CYD Austin students to fill their require- ments. MISS CLARA KOLLMAN 454 Miss Clara Kollman, in spite of about 33 obstacles per class, has been known to teach enough English to pull the aforesaid class through a Minimum Requirement exam. Be- sides English, she teaches that immortal language of Uhic, haec, hoes. She is an adviser of the College Club and is at the head of the Corridor Corps. MISS LOUISE ROBERTS 455 Miss Roberts teaches fire drills. As a side- line, she has been known to conduct a course in mathematics for students and others. Her pupils speak of her from various angles. Miss Roberts has made a name for herself as Coach of Austin's ivory chess team. MR. J. LEE ROTH 45Z Our teacher of vocal variation. He is the faculty adviser of several song bird organiza- tions and is a well known and popular figure in Room 317. He tells the freshies not to be scared, and they respond by clamoring for the famous Frog Song. MISS MABEL BROWERS H461 Miss Browers makes typewriters out of mere students. Also she teaches the strange sign- writing which was originated in the Stone Age and is similar to the scribblings on the Egyptian pyramids. Great efforts, at the present, are being made to decipher the latter, but Miss Brower's pupils translate even greater wonders. gf wit .7 S- X g 9 ' - -.,.31-315 .-'-- ' ul 4 , . 5? iuuu I N ii NT , E VQNI' FACULTY .
