HARRY SLOSSON Auto mechanics teacher Mr. Slosson is a racing member of the American Power Boat Association and the Seattle Inboard Racing Association.

ROBERT STOELT Looking into the gym in basketball season, you see Coach Stoelt galloping from player to player with vigorous encouragement for all. With his love of physical activity, Mr. Stoelt yearns to own a cabin in the San Iuans and loll around in a powered skill, trolling! But that's not the spirit he brings to basketball, where he allows no loll- ing. MR. JOHN TERREY The Legislature at Work is the favorite TV proe gram ot senior English teacher Mr. Terrey, who is Irish and therefore wrapped up in politics.

As girls' counselor, Mrs, Weider is Will- ing to holp every girl solve her personal prob- lems, but she does not like alibis. MR. FRED WHITNER One of Bellevue's quietest teachers worked for ten years at one of the world's noisiest trades. Mr. Whitner was a boiler maker before he went to college. This is his tirst year in the senior high, where he teaches geometry and is one ot the advisers ol the senior class. He dislikes noisy gum chewing, but likes a snappy witticism. MR. ROBERT WHITNEY That live-wire physics teacher, Mr. Whitney, will not be seen around Bellevue next year, either hunched over the handlebars peddling to and from school, or at the blackboard stimulating students to think for themselves. Home one year trom a Yale fellowship, he is now oil to Cornell on another study grant, 16
