Mrs. Clarice Groh and C. A. Browning discover Esther Ellis at her desk, as usual, overwhelmed with a mountain of papers. Mr. Browning jokingly reminds her that her register must be in the office before she leaves school. The future Blue and Gray is no doubt covered up with other manu- scripts. Mrs. Groh makes the Bible come to life for many students and Mr. Browning lays the foundations for many future scientists. The Honor Society Committee relaxes after some important decisions. I. E. Gillenwater, social science and math teacher, has a variety of other duties, including sales of all tickets for school functions. Mrs, Jessie McSpadden, English teacher, is the schooI's authority on public speaking. W. M. Campbell, business teacher, divides his extra time among the Bankers, The National Honor Society, and the Annual Staff. Guerrant Tatem and Paul Brewer rejoice that the floor lamp works. Mr. Brewer, in addition to teaching various shop courses, is often called upon to do what others can't. Miss Tatem, home economics teacher, will repay him with some delicacy from a successful cooking experiment. No teachers could be more sympathetic to- ward students nor more helpful in teach- ing them how to live. ,ff

x CURTIS GENTRY Director of Secondary Education Mr. Curtis Gentry as Director of Secondary Education is seen tre- quently in our halls working quietly with the principal and teachers. A specialist in vocational guidance, he does a great deal tor students unknowingly to them. He is res- ponsible, also, for the In-Service' Training program for teachers, as well as the high-school curriculum for the city. WILSON NEW Superintendent of Schools For many years Mr. New has been a leading figure in Knoxville schools. From the way things move along we are sure his decisions are wise. No doubt he had much to do with the bond issue which will put our elementary and iunior high schools on a par with the high schools. is ii 'Ye SV' S i

Miss Ora Dowell, English teacher, Coach Char- les R. Moffett, math teacher, and Miss Jean Naberhuis, business teacher, look over a new kind of notebook for sale in the D. E. Store, over which Miss Naberhuis presides. We shall remember Miss Dowell for her thoroughness, Dr. Moffett for his pep talks, and Miss Naberhuis for her enthusiasm. Mrs. Evelyn C. Seale and Colleen Bennett look over the new Webster's unabridged dictionary iust added to the Library. Mrs. Seale, one of our new teachers, adds both youth and personal charm to the faculty. Miss Bennett cheerfully assists us to find just what we are looking for in books. She makes the Library serve its full purpose. Miss Emily McLaurin, language teacher, Miss Martha Thompson, business teacher, and Miss Gladys Million, math teacher - often seen together - pause at a front door for a friendly chat. Miss McLaurin directs the Spanish Club and the Latin Club, Miss Thompson, the Commercial Club, and Miss Million, the Future Teach- ers of America. Misses Million and Thomp- son like to putter around their many flowers.
