ARTS’ DEPARTMENT Remember When Seated: Mrs. M. Nelson, Mrs. J. Noonan, Miss M. Failing. Standing: Mr. H. Fordham, Mr. J. Ruck-deschel. These digit-jugglers direct one of the most important courses in school, starting under the wing of Mrs. Symonds in Junior High and continuing up the scale to Mrs. Joy and finally to Miss Olson. We wish to extend our appreciation to these teachers who have trained us so well that some day we may be able to figure out our income tax. Will we ever forget the thrill of having a picture hung for exhibition; of blowing the first few notes,on a clarinet; of seeing Dad proudly show off our first book ends; of seeing Mom’s incredulous look as she tasted our pie crust? No, we’ll never forget. Our unlimited thanks go to the teachers who helped us achieve those successes. Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Noonan, Miss Failing, Mr. Fordham and Mr. Ruckdeschel. MATHEMATICS’ DEPARTMENT I’ve Got Your Number” Left to Right: Mrs. J. Symonds, Miss G. Olson, Mrs. E. Joy.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Me, Myself and I” Seated: Mr. M. Sackman, Miss A. Hickman. Standing: Miss M. Lorens, Mrs. M. Howard, Mrs. A. Reilly. From Ivanhoe to Macbeth, from gerunds to hyperboles, our English teachers have brought us safely through the wilderness of literature and grammar that confronted us all. Without the help of these tireless teachers, we could have never understood and enjoyed the finer points of literature, and some of us can actually write a non-run-on sentence now. Here are the capable instructors of our future civic leaders. We cannot put into words the debt we owe these teachers, as studying the historic past and turbulent present of our country and of the world in which we live will better prepare us to understand the future that will be our problem, as the past has been that of preceding generations. SOCIAL STUDIES’ DEPARTMENT America.” Left to Right: Mrs. E. Yetter, Mrs. E. Joy, Miss M. Lorenz.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Rugged But Right” Left to Right. Miss E. McCord, Mr. N. Judd, Miss J. Davis. High on the scale of any school is its athletic department. This department is well taken care of by Miss Davis in the grade schools, and Mr. Judd and Miss McCord in the boys’ and girls’ sports respectively. The latter two select the varsity and honor teams and successfully guide them to victory. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Patience and Fortitude” The Business Department is under the efficient guidance of Mr. Halford and Mrs. Hefele. These two teachers have helped us better ourselves for our future years by teaching us shorthand, typing and business training. Mr. Halford has also been a great help to us in the guidance department. We shall never forget the tireless effort that they have given us.
