OMF ,QIJQCLZ SQCLCLQI' There comes a time in every senior's life when he dreamily looks back over his high school ca- reer: back to many hours spent in classrooms with teachers trying to implant in our reluctant minds that theory of atomic structure or the social significance of ine short story. And as he looks Now First of If our teacher is a woman, she must have the friendliness of Miss Ada Bell. Her eyes must have that merry twinkle and understanding light that Miss Sara Mooney's do. She must be able to be as feminine as Miss Dorothy Nesbitt and have the carriage cf Miss Clara Goss who also will add a nice touch of sarcasm. For sophistication, our only choice could be Miss Iosephine Amer and Miss Margaret Oechsener would add just the touch of awe that students usually need. We would take Mrs. Leora Stonebu.rner's humaness and add Miss Dorothy Boesche who tries to teach us. Whose discerning eye in artistic matters could we use, except Miss Frances Robinson's? And this ideal teacher must absolutely have the kind of personal interest that Miss Grace Courtney has. Our nomi- nation for vivaciousness goes to Miss Kathryn Sexauer thow that woman does loom up in the library at the wrong timell She must have the cheerfulness of Miss Mary Fisher and have the kind oi classes Miss Mabel Riedinger conducts. Also we would take Miss Riedinger's dramatic voice which really sends you. For the ideal buddy with plenty of pep and vigor, who else but Miss Madeline Fifer? And if we could incorporate some of Miss Helen Pfahl's back he thinks of his teachers in Lincoln's words: With malice toward none, with charity to all. And so, we hope you don't mind if we do a little daydreaming and construct an ideal teacher: a teacher who, we feel, would be ideal to suit our purposes. All ..... patience, classes would be a cinch. Essential in our character Kas she has now grown to bel is Miss Margaret Weller's frankness and add to that a strong amount of strictness with fairness includ- ed, donated by Miss Emma Stuckey. For aid in learning we will take those endless amounts oi outlines which Miss Iosephine Hins- dale gave out so lavishly when we were sopho- mores. For a teacher who can rightly interpret school problems so that we understand them, give us Miss Margaret Nottingham. For downright nice- ness, Mrs. Beulah Hudson fills the bill. Our character will have the sweetness of Miss Dorothy Whittington and we like the way Miss Anna Simpson and Miss Inez Parshall tell us what is wrong with our ideas. CWhich reminds us . . . See the wild geese flying? l For enthusiasm, give us Miss Dorothy Marty who is also a good organizer. And so we come to the finale of our make believe woman teacher . . . ooops! wait a second, we seemed to have forgot- ten our senior class advisors, Miss Lucille Gustaf- son, Miss Bertha Maier and Miss Florence Wood- dell: but then you see, the only thing we can say about them is that they have combined most all of the virtues we idealize and believe us, that isn't easy. If It's A Man . . . . . Now if we have to have a man teacher, we would certainly start off with the friendliness of Mr. Harland Horton. To fit our idea of a man he would have to be able to iix things up like Mr. Clifford Wertz. Depending upon what sex you are, you can take your choice between Mr. Harry Weir's hair or the style that Mr. L. O. Weiss seems to prefer. He must have Mr. Ronald Switzer's ap- pealing eyes when the Talon wants to spend more money than we have and his strictness could only be attributed to Mr. Vincent Biondo. His voice must have that pleasing quality and intentness that Mr. W. L. Neuenschwander's has. For shyness, our choice would be Mr. Robert Palmquist who has that little boy charm. Mr. Mil- ton Seitz, is our choice for a buddy regardless of whether he is the cause of our aching backs . 5 We like Mr. Charles Kinney's suaveness and definitely not the man to see about advertising is Mr. Howard Reeves. He is our choice for person- ality . If we didn't know better we would think Mr. Otis Maxwell was a southern gentleman be- cause of his slow drawl that makes you listen to every Word and for the qualities of forthrightness and honesty, give us Mr. Bogner. For tenacity, who else could you suggest except Coach Porosky and for that perfect example of man take a look at Mr. Dave Appleby. We mentioned in the beginning that we would like a teacher to suit our purposes but the only purposes seniors have is to get that diploma and let the search for our ideal teacher be conducted by the other classes at Buchtel. And anyhow, it's much nicer to have forty-three teachers who pos- sess at least one quality than to have one perfect.

,IM nyefegy etiued In 4,000 A. D., the year 1946 will be long remembered. For in this year, a time-lock, that had been placed on an indestructible steel safe will open. Within the safe will be found such various and sundry ar- ticles as a copy of Forever Amber fthe manufacturer couldn't keep up with the demandsl. a gallon of gas fafter the atomic age took over, no one had any use for this precious commodity of '44-459, the last auto- mobile produced before the helicopter came into its own, the last rayon stockings ever manufactured fthank gosh!J and foremost among these treasured articles, is a well preserved scroll of paper. This paper re- veals what the intelligent youth of 1946 placed their value on. Why even now I can see a surprised citizen of Swanville, U. S. A., reading to all the residents of his town. the famous will of the fifteenth graduating class of Iohn H. Buchtel High School. In a loud and strong voice, this little man with two heads reads: We, the graduating class of 1946, being of sound mind and fully dressed, do leave behind us our fond memories. treasures, unique per- sonalities and queer characteristics. We feel we are fortunate that our black marks surpassed the red ones on our report cards. Therefore: let this be known as the last will and testament of the intelligent Class of '46 Item I. Nancy Kniffin leaves her freckles to Martha Minck, who needs them to go with her red hair. Following fthe trend towardl redheads, is Bill Chandler. leaving his love for red-headed women to Dick Everhart. Patt Etling bequeaths her flong hoped forl Bachelor of Science Degree to Dutchy Kearschner while Barb Kurz thankfully leaves her chemistry test grades to Ioyce Shoemaker and all those who care to pass. fThat's a joke, son!l Item II. Robert Henry Spaethe leaves his empty bottles to Iirn Costello and Moe Goldstein. lack Kurz leaves with a sigh of relief that he made it in the routine four years and hoping that Iim Costello will follow soon. Russell Oberlin leaves his fourth period piano playing to the third period would be Rembrandts . Iean Price hopefully leaves her ability to any- one who can figure out what it is! To ALL, Emil Taxay wills such novel things as hot shirts, synthetic ties and megalomania. Item III. In this category we find such brain trusts as Frank Bland leaving precious articles to help the success of future seniors. Frank leaves his newly published book. How To Play Dirty Basketball to Bob Southerland. Pat Hays leaves her extraordinary singing voice to Ianet Marr. Marilyn f Where did you get that red face? J Miller wills her super sun lamp and sun porch to pale Anne Guth. Annie also re- ceives Phyllis Spindler's long, long. hair. And brainy Betty Wise leaves her scrawniness to unfortunate Ioan Vernotzy. Item IV. Mary Boyers relinquishes her seat in study hall to Veronica Smallfootz, fthat elusive little character? while Marge Wagner and Mary Dix combine their heights and offer it to Iudy Cole. Pat Emmons also comes into the possession of a little height, donated by Vallia Laube. Virginia Plale leaves her big blue eyes to anyone who can wink. Bob Robertson gladly gives his place on the bench to anyone interested as Larry Ahern wills his H of a pickle in history class to anyone with courage to use it. Juanita Crislip leaves something for the fellows to whistle at. Bill Hrubik gives the back seat in third and fourth period chemistry to anyone who feels he can fill it. Si, Si, says Esther Sanyo as she leaves her passion for anything Spanish to Phil Ferdinand and Muriel Koller leaves her mad amor for Spanish to future senores and senoritas under Miss Marty's spell. Harry Ness leaves his five o'clock shadow to Dan Boone and Al Den- nis heaves a sigh of relief as he hands over the headaches and long hours connected with the Talon to lack Martin. Iean Musser leaves the junior girls wishing they could look like that so early in the moming. Item V. Connie Keegan leaves sister, Mari, bitter memories of chemis- try fwith the likewise gradesi and to some unsuspecting junior. the Griff- in headaches. Dick Lieberth leaves his pocket edition of Forever Amber to Miss Riedinger. Viola Bahm leaves her brains in bookkeeping to any- one in need of them. To Miss Rentschuler, Dave Colville donates one slightly used box of Kleenex. Dave Huprich swings out, wishing we had discovered his band sooner: Gwen Richards leaves her natural blond hair to Iean Ferriot: lean also will be rewarded with one unused bottle of H202, to keep her blond always. Delivery will'be made by Pauline Gustely. Helen Fogler leaves her good reasons for Monday morning absence to Ianet Aliden. A lantern and a flashlight is left by Ralph Iusell to the new morning school students, who must come to school in the wee small hours. Penny Carroll leaves her convertible and driving ability f?l to Marilyn Fisher. Item VI. M. Michael Thornton leaves and we quote: To Louise Pit- man: the bottle my brain is in so that she will have a place to store the acid she has used all year to etch the names on page 2 of the Talon. P. S. May I convey my thanks to Mr. T.-L. P. Iustine Fuller leaves her place in library to anyone who can ably fill it. On the other hand, Ioanne Rowe willingly leaves her ability to get lectured at in the library to the Zaharopoulos girls and Louella Emanuel. fContinued on Page 537 'i ,
