Drivers and Fluent Speakers The man who should have shattered nerves is Morris Carpenter, instructor in driver training. Mr. Carpenter received his B. S. degree from Western Michigan College of Education and attended Par¬ son’s Business College. The junior class rates first on his lis t because he is their adviser. From his name, “Carpenter,” you should guess his win¬ winning pastime; it’s building a house, and he’s done it. Beside teaching speech to freshmen, sopho¬ mores, and juniors and teaching play production, M. W. Van Oostenburg finds himself busy acting as adviser for the Log, directing the annual junior- senior play, and being a member of the assembly committee. Mr. Van received his A. B. degree from Hope College and his M. A. degree from the Uni¬ versity of Michigan. Directing plays, dreaming up ways to improve the Log, and following the exploits of the Detroit Tigers, all have an equal chance of gaining the winning spot on Mr. Van’s list. Morris R. Carpenter M. W. Van Oostenburg Training ' in speech is training for public life. The ability to be able to think out and ex¬ press ones ideas so that they can be easily understood by anyone is of great importance. Speech training is a required subject for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, who, after struggling through the training, have a better knowledge of how to be a winner in public through speech. Driver training is a course to teach one how to become a help rather than a menace to the public through careful and considerate driving. In becoming a good driver, one must know not just the mechanics of a car but also the rules and courtesies of the road. Mr. Caipenter explains the mysteries that lie under the hood. In the picture are Jack Ostrander, Diane Workman, Mr. Carpenter, and Beth Wilson.

Mathematicians and Scientists When one hears the words, test-tubes, experiments, microscopes, or some other similar word, he knows that the science department is being discussed. Again, whenever one hears the words, slide rules, equations, theorems, or logarithms, he realizes that he is hearing terms used in mathematics. In general science the students learn the basic trend in the science field, while in the other science subjects, they branch out in plant and animal life. In chemistry the young scientists find out about the chemical changes in matter, and in phy¬ sics they study the physical changes. The future mathematicians spend many hours solv¬ ing equations, learning theorems, or working problems for general math, plane geometry, algebra, or trigonometry, all of which help to develop their reasoning power. The math and science subjects call for much hard work and concentration, but they offer much encour¬ agement because there is such an open field for further development. Classes in mathematics are taught by Beatrice Hutchins, who received her A. B. degree from West¬ ern Michigan College of Education and has done graduate study at the University of Michigan. Miss Hutchins is the freshman class adviser, Y-Teen Fawns adviser, and is a member of the assembly committee. Being a loyal sports fan, Miss Hutchins declares her winning pastime is being a spectator at football and basketball games. Mary S. Johnson, teacher of general mathe¬ matics and algebra, received her B. S. d egree from Michigan State College. She also studied at Central Michigan College and the University of Michigan. She is the Y-Teen Fawns adviser. As of now Miss Johnson says that her sixth hour algebra class is her winning pastime. Edward A. Babcock Mary Vilas Beatrice J. Hutchins Mary S. Johnson Having attended Ferris Institute, received his A. B. fi ' om Central Michigan College, and studied at the University of Michigan, Edward Babcock should be well qualified to teach chemistry, physios, algebra, and journalism. Mr. “B” is the adviser for the Cadillacan, Hi-Y, and Torch Club. He claims that he finds his winning pastime at the C. Y. R. A. Teaching general science and biology way up on the top floor, is Miss Mary Vilas. She received her B. S. degree from Central Michigan College of Edu¬ cation and is working on her master’s degree at the University of Michigan. Miss Vilas is the senior class and Pep Club adviser. Hiking is a winning pastime for Miss Vilas any time of the year. — 16 —
