In this ring we have those three famous tantalizing tongue-twisters, Spanish, French and Latin. Under the expert tutelage of Mrs. Dorothy Meske and Mrs. Lillian Clark, the language students have become very proficient. Classes under these teachers are never dull and the romance languages are always interestingly taught. Language Department 10 Left to right: Mrs. L. Clark, Mrs. D. Meske. When the big show comes to town each September, the arts department's chores begin. Mrs. Ida Shimans takes care of our posters and advertising art; Mrs. Marjorie Nelson supervises costumes and foods; Mr. Henry Fordham leads our circus band; and Mr. Albert Tutunjian and Mrs. John Ruckdeschel keep the shop in operation.

Genius at work, Q0H22O11 + H20 plus a mysterious herb gives an inky colored brew.” No, that isn't the secret formula for making a powerful acid. That is just Herm” making coffee for the school nurse, Mrs. Lally and the biologist, 7th and 8th grade science teacher, Mr. Aschoff. It is through the efforts of these people that our health is guarded and our knowledge of science is stimulated and increased. Proving 2 equals 1 doesn't seem too difficult after all. King Tut” seems to be having little trouble with the three sceptics, Miss Gladys Olson, Miss Emily Mary Goodwin, and Miss Gertrude Decker. This year the math department has had three new additions in the persons of Miss Decker, Miss Goodwin and King Tut.” Due to its two-fold tongue-twisting tone the name Mr. Albert Souirou Tutunjian has been slightly modified to simply King Tut or Mr. T.” With such capable additions and the continued excellent work of Miss Gladys Olson, the math department should prove one of the best in the school. Science Department Left to right: Mr. E. Aschoff, Mr. R. Hermanson, Mrs. M. Lally.
