Physical Education Department Left to right: Mr. N. Judd, Miss E. McCord. Introducing the Physical Education Department whose job it is to train the acrobats, tumblers, and dancers of our big show. Miss Eileen McCord teaches the girls to trip the light fantastic while Mr. Nevin Judd accomplishes the difficult feat of tutoring the tumblers in the fundamentals of their art. Together they are responsible for the top physical condition of all our performers. Our business department, under the direction of Mrs. Isabel Hefele and Mr. Charles Halford is one of the best equipped departments of the school. Offered courses from shorthand, typing and transcription through business training, business arithmetic and business law, the students who complete this field of study are prepared to meet any and all business problems. Mr. Halford is also the head of our extensive guidance department which contributes greatly in helping a student choose his vocation. Business Department Left to right: Mrs. I. Hefele, Mr. C.

Arts Department Left to right. Seated: Mr. J. Ruckdeschel, Mrs. M. Nelson, Mrs. I. Shimans. Standing: Mr. H. Fordham, Mr. A. Tutunjian. 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.

Left to right: Dr. H. Bor-mann, Mrs. M. Lee. Left to right: Miss C. Schempp, Dr. H. Studwell. Custodians These familiar fellows may easily be classified as the Roustabouts of our Big Top. It is their job to see that the school is run easily and efficiently. Always willing to lend a helping hand, they can usually be found opening someone's locker, repairing the mimeograph machine, and setting up assembly chairs, or doing the million odd jobs that are required to keep our school running smoothly. Office Staff Largely responsible for the friendly atmosphere and smooth-running efficiency of our three-ring circus is the office staff. Always cooperative, always ready to help, the staff handles all financial matters, makes out passes for late-comers, and performs all the countless necessary little tasks which keep a school going. This efficient group consists of: Dr. Bormann and Mrs. Lee; Dr. Studwell and Miss Schempp. Left to right: Mr. A. Wyatt, Mr. A. Schultz, Mr. F. Schlottman, Mr. C. Muller.
