ycAc c€ci “All athletic sj)oits are liolh refreshiii ' i and stiimilatin r to me. 1 enjoy watchiiifj; athletic games or participating in them.” We shall always rememl)er Mr. Peter.son for his interest and fine work in onr Athletic Association. His aml ition is to complete work for an Ed. M. degree. Miss Alice A. Richards has taught Modern Enro])ean History here for the past three years. She graduated from W heaton College with a Rachelor of Arts degree and has attended the University of Vermont Summer School. Jn the summer of IP. ' IO she tra eled through Europe. Traxeling and attending the theatre are her holihies. She enjoys tennis, walking, and swimming, and spends the summer in Mansfield, Massachusetts. The ideal facult) memher should ha c Miss Richard’s thoroughness of treatment. Mr. Joseph H. Ryan, a new comer this year hut one who is ahead) widel) known and liked, teaches h,nglish. He is a graduate of Daitmouth College with .111 A. B. flegree and has attended Harvard Summer School. Evidently he believes in seeing America first. We learn he has traveled exten- sivel) through Eranklin Park and spends his summers in W inchester. Massachusetts. His lavorite pastimes are reading and liridge, and we ' ve heard quite a hit about his liowling. The ideal faculty memher should have Joe Rvan’s hair. Vliss Mary E. .Sullivan, who has taught in Dedham High for twenty-one years and is |)roiid of the fact, is herself a graduate of Dedham High School. She also atteiuled the Boston School of Domestic Science and Simmons College. Need it he mentioned that she teaches sewing? Miss Dorothy M. Swan, our most atnletic teacher (exccjit. of course.

Aliroad she has traveled through England, Erance, Italy, and Switzerland. Her tavorite s|)orts are mountain ski-running, golf, tennis, sailing, and a further interest, music. During the summer she is at Belgrade Lakes, Maine. Miss Mary Sweeney, who has lieen in Dedham High a numher of )ears. too many to mention, received her B. S. from Simmons College. She has traveled hither and yon — west to Chicago, south to Bermuda, INorth to (ianada, east — ? W here her summers are spent always depends on the state of the Excheijuer. Out-of- doors her tavorite |)astime is gardening, indoors it’s bridge. At present, during her spare moments, she is trying to master auction bridge. W hen she owns four non- puncture-ahle “shoes” for the Lord her amldtion will lie realized. Most of the inlormation available for Miss Joan Toldn appears unheliev able to the coin|)iler. However, it is. no doulit. here |U ' esented to a creflulous public. After graduating from .Sargent, for more than ten years she has taught at D.H.S. that exhausting subject, jiliysical education, and for relaxation has traveled the world over. W here she now spends her summers is kept secret, as is also her fav orite hohhv, hut the fact is revealed to us that outside of school Ikm chief activitv is playing marhles. She has also attended Harvard Summer School. She has no amhition, hut, after all, whv should she. since she has the distinction of being the Old) person in the counti ) vviio [lossesses the degree of A.B.(kl).f,.l‘ .. C.O.D.
