F CII I, T V Caught!—in the art—of teaching her Eng- lish class. Yes, it's Miss Campbell at the black- board telling her forty cherubs or so what's what from the English angle. Maybe it's all about EVANGELINE or perhaps MACBETH. At any rate, we're sure those pleasant mo- ments will not be forgotten. It's dangerous business, but Mr. Love seems to have it all under control in examining the wasp's nest. In biology we learned to know the plants and flowers, the fish, insects, birds, animals—just EVERYTHING from A to Z— for Mr. Love is a grand teacher. Hard at work, but at such nice work—Miss Jamison, our able adviser, reading MAGNET copy. This is the task which is quite pleasant, because when we are ready for that, all the material for Ye Booke has been handed in, and everything's ship-shape, and all set to go— and, oh well—you know. It's an A Senior English class being taught by Miss Bartley! A Senior English—the hard, but fascinating semester when we got Shelley and Guinevere, and Burn's louse and Words- worth all mixed up — until Miss Bartley straightened them out. That MAGNET ques- tionnaire in the background happened to be on the board most appropriately, for the MAC- NET HAUNTS Miss Bartley.

GLIMPSES OF THE FACULTY Not blonde — but nevertheless an adept stenographer! Of course she has expert in- struction.—It's Eileen Parran clicking away at the typewriter, with Mr. Miller looking on. He's our able typing teacher, who, besides teaching classes, somehow finds time to min- gle with the students and become their friend. Why, Eileen CAN'T go wrong with directions such as that! Hand poised, all eyes on him — they're ready to begin — and you may be sure that the sounds which ensue will be pleasant ones, for Doc Dryden is the most proficient and capable music director for many a mile. His music groups grow in number every year, and his choruses have brought renown to the school. Besides doing choral work, this semes- ter he has started teaching harmony, a new course in music. We know—for we've heard those strains coming out of the music room which are surely part of an original composi- tion by a harmony student. Here we have Mr. Palmer, our very capable physics professor, showing you our new mov- ing picture machine. And he's the one to show you—for he knows everything from A to Z about these things. The machine has been used several times in chapel to bring sym- phonies to the students and is used often in the classrooms. It's a fine addition to our school. — 21 —

I T IT IIII k Omnia Callis est divisa in —Miss Hepler demonstrating some of her ancient Latin. How well we remember those Gallic Wars, Caesar's Campaigns, not to speak of those conjunctions and declensions. Let's see—iau- dus, laudc—oops! Well, it's a subject well worth while—so let's give credit to the most difficult and brain-sharpening of them all! And here we have Miss Black teaching— you've guessed it—algebra. Take a number from 1 to 10. Now add a, b, and c, and if it comes out x, you have it. Something like that. Or if it isn't right, Miss Black will help you if you have tried. She's reading and her helpers seem most attentive. Miss McGlincy, our famed English teacher, who makes even those themes and tests and things seem pleasant. Her radiant smile is a joy to behold. The ravishing face you see is that of Liz- zie. And here she has the good fortune to have as her escort, Mr. Nicholas. His biology has made de bugs an' de boids seem really attractive to us. Even poking around at those pickled grasshoppers wasn't so bad.
