FACULTY Who seems to be the busiest teacher at Evanston High School? Why Mrs. Virginia Thompson, of course. Mrs. Thompson is the spon- sor of the Paralyzer and Devil's Diary and can always be seen help- ing and advising the staffs. In addition to journalism, she teaches American civilization and world history. Her hobbies are traveling dramatics and dancing. Last summer she toured the Eastern cities of New York, Boston, Albany, Baltimore, and Washington, D. C. . The man who can see all withl out interference is 6'6 Mr. John Welsh. He is art instructor in all of the Evanston schools and sponsor of the La Cita Hard Club. The school is fortunate to have such a capable drama director as Mr. Welsh. During the school year he produced two three-act plays, UNine Girlsn and HOur Hearts Were Young and Gay? His hobbies, besides dramatics, are dancing and listening to records. The teacher who drops the slang word ndryn from English is Mrs. Martha Petersen. The wife of Coach Petersen is very popular with the students in Evanston. Collect- ing records, reading and interior! decorating are her hobbies along with cooking for her husband. Although new on the faculty, Mrs. Petersen already has several duties, such as sponsoring the La Cita Mard Club and Junior Class.

PRINCIPAL To students and members of the faculty: Thank you for your friendship, assistance, and cooperation during the past year. Your excellent support and the privilege of working with you has certainly been appreciated. V Ernest Thompson Seton is credited with saying, nManhood, not scholarship, is the first aim of education.H To some of you this year's experience in high school has been a new venture, others are in the middle of the educational journey, while still others are gradup ating and will soon begin to apply their acquired knowledge. Through- out this nine-month learning process, trials and tribulation, joys and sorrows, work and play have all been largely responsible for the mold- ing of our lives. It has been a banner year, highlighted with the finest types of school functions. And if we, in this educational process, have emerged as real men and women--citizens of a great de- mocracya-the goals have truly been achieved. Treasure up the good and wholesome experience of this school year. Use the hardships and unpleasantries as stepping stones to pro- grass, and go forth to help make the world a better place in which to live. As another successful chapter of our lives near completion, the words of Carlyle seem appropriate, WMake yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one less rascal in the world.H Ralph A. Belnap
