1 A, P. MCCONNELL A. P. MCCONNELL, Ht-ad of Industrial Arts Department-In the nuiny years he has been at Ballard, the only thing hc has noticed was that the shcool has grown tremendously. Right: These inspired pcncil-pushcrs and T- square Tommie-s labor over their drawing boards till that last thirty-second of an inch is accounted for. R. C. GOODMAN, Industrial Arts-Remembers when he used to go out with a gang of kids in an old Ford and raise whoopeef' BYRON PAYNE, Industrial Arts-Is a great admirer of the excellent Ballard spirit, and the fine support which students give to their athletic teams. ALICE DODGE, Home Economics-From the moment she first arrived, she has always found Ballard a friendly place. LOIS LEGG, Home Economics-Bemoans the fact 1 that we no longer have any 'dear little Freshmenv roaming about the halls. ' Amidst the buzz of saws in the wood shop, the rattle of T-squares and pencils in the me- chanical drawing class room, and the whizzing of lathes in the machine shop, Ballard boys develop skill in the manual arts. As in the uroaring twentiesw the Home Economics Depart- 0 ment of today still continues to prepare girls to be efficient housewives. 20

The modern miss takes all this in her stride and goes forth a top-notch typist, stenographer, or bookkeeper, confident of success because of her excellent training. ROBERT DODDS, Commercial-Says Ballard's long-awaited paint job and resulting inconveniences left his mind in a state of confusion. LEE HESSELTINE, Commercial-Thinks we have always had a very efficient school with a large group of very likeable students. FRANK VOILAND, Head of Commercial Department-Has been at Ballard ever since it opened, and has a lot to say about the way hoth the school and the district have changed. ADELINE ROWE, Commercial -Remembers the first hair bohs, and the fun she used to have at weekly dances and bridge parties. FRANCES KWAPIL, Commercial --Upon arriving at Ballard last fall, her first question was: 4'Where do they hide the oflice around here?', EVA WOODS, Commercial-Has noticed quite a few changes since she has been at Ballard, but she still complains about the Msame old typewritersf' MABIAN CANDEE, Commercial-Looks hack with pleasant memories at the days of short, straight-line dresses, the fox-trot, and jazz.

NVALKER, Science-ARemenibers the flapper age, the first bobbed hair, and when he used to go auto camping. LEAH B. GRIFFIN, Science-Thinks Ballardites are the nicest people in Seattle. WARREN HODGE, Science- Is such a shy little man that he couldn't think of anything to say about himself except to recite his favorite phrase, Eh, eh, that's a joke, son. HARRY GLASER, Head of Science Department -Thinks high school pupils are more charming now than they were twenty-three years ago, but not as studious. Left: How hot is hot? How cold is cold?
