aww., MR. Fox, our principal, is the captain for our sturdy ship, and he has guided it very well over the sea of 1940-41. Well do we remember the stack of blue prints under his ar1n and the messages to us every morning. Nor will we forget the Florida tan he possessed when he re- turned from his much needed vacation. MR. DE GELLEIQE has been first mate and handled the position of captain during Mr. Foxfs absence. He supervised the Seven Off-Beats during noon hour danc- ing, and methodically snapped club pic- tures. And he still pulls those jokes. NIISS AITCHISON and Muzzy saw us safely through the American Revolution and the New Deal. She has seen her beloved Junior Class through its yearfs experi- ences, and she has seen many of the basketball team's faithful supporters to the game and home safely. It is MRS. ALLISON to whom we go when there are dance decorations or posters to be made. She is always ready with helpful suggestions and ideas. The Marionette Club and all the art classes are under her supervision. M.XDEMOISELLE BARBER acquaints students with France and French life. Her spare moments are spent with the Senior Class for whom she directed F irst Dress Suit and Eyes-A-Pojvpinf The Senior Class owes her many thanks for her work in their behalf. It is MRS, BRAMLEY who explains the x's, y's, and z's and the area of an iscoceles triangle. Students visit her frequently to catch up on a little back homework. In her spare moments she is faculty treasurer of the National Honor Society. MISS DOUST teaches all business aspirants the qualifications of a good secretary. She has faithfully kept order in the P.G. homeroom, acted as waterboy for their football team, and coach for their track team. W Z-5 he f 5 ., KY V'-A i - . ' tt.. xi I The library sails its smooth course with MISS :KING as helmsman. Every period she investigates the conference room and the noises in the back corners. She is jack- of-all-trades in helping students with their work. MRS. LALOR has guided the girl athletes in basketball, hockey, softball and volley- ball. Under her direction an excellent gym demonstration was put on. She has supervised the Girls' Athletic Association and has routed them on to victory in interscholastic contests. MR. LALOR drills the junior-high students in their English grammar and goes traveling with the economic geography class. They visit many interesting places but always manage to arrive safely home for the next class. Mlss ILITCHFIELD has handled the depart- ent of vocal music. She has taught the grade children their do-ra-me's and has directed the girls' choir. She has con- ducted them at the Oneonta festival and has led them with honors in Poughkeepsie. ' The junior mathematics course is handled capably by MISS FISCHER, who explains what A has if B has one-half as much. She presides over the seventh grade homeroom and listens to their complaints about too much homework. MR. FIELD, as director of the band, has kept that organization in the limelight this year. He has steered its course through concerts and the national contest at At- lantic City. His sense of humor and his patience have inspired the band members to win new laurels. W hat a Life and the two one-act plays were put on successfully through the vigorous work of MR. LITTLE. He supervised, di- rected, and even painted scenery for the plays. Someday when D. A. thespians are on Broadway, they will thank him for his help and advice.

A VVhen the phone rings in study hall, the students know MISS MECLEMENTS wants someone who hasn't had his teeth cleaned. She has to look at the cavities of 800 students twice a year, Can you blame her when she asks if you've been to the dentist lately. It is Miss NIOOGAN to whom all students who didnit set their alarm clocks go in the morning. She listens to their various excuses and sends them on their way. Also, she is faculty advisor for that cain- raising group, the Cain Raisers. MISS MCTIERN.XN manipulates such words as Onomatopoeia and ophthalmogist. She trains students in English and amends the translations of Caesar and Cicero. She has advised the Sophomore Class and has helped them sell their stationery. MISS MUNLEY checks on all the excuses which say that Mary Jones had a head- ache or a pain in her right toe. At the beginning of each year she examines students for defects. She is particularly known for her chic uniform and her big eyes. MR. OTTOWAY maneuvers the boys around the gym Hoor and the athletic field. He teaches our basketball heroes to ring up a high score, our tumbling team to go over with the greatest of ease, and our pitchers to hurl a no-hit no-run game. MR. SHAW, our guidance counselor, guides students in courses in high school, but never ask him to guide you around the school. He is at the head of the traffic squad and the traffic court. He coaches the junior varsity, even from the sidelines. Mrss TUBBS has directed us through the channels of English grammar. She has entertained us with fascinating tales of the New York plays she has seen. She has been advisor to the Kaleuds staff and to the National Honor Society. MR. VOSBURGH is our junior science teacher who continually carries a candid camera under his arm. He is very proud of his own laboratory in which to show experi- ments to his pupils. Next to taking pic- tures, I believe eating is his favorite sport, To our realm this year comes MISS WITT- MAN, who manages the cafeteria. Daily she makes delicious menus to make our mouths water. Her hobby is trying out new recipes on us. This we thoroughly enjoy. -me amz af gamma DR. GEORGE P. SCHLAFER, Pifesident DR. WILLIAM M. THOMSON DR. E. ODGEN BUSH MR. VVILLIAM A. HUMPHRIES MR. RALPH CLARK MR. EARL CAVAN, Clerk ITH the Board of Education at the helm, the good ship Delaware Acad- emy and Central School has sailed through another year. Many were the problems and headaches for the Board, as the new school was erected and oc- cupied, but in time the problems were one by one ironed out and the run on aspirins decreased. We, the students of Delaware Academy, are very thankful for the services they have rendered throughout the past year to make our school life more enjoyable and our school a better place in which to learn.
