To MR. SMITH, MR. FASKEN, and MR. JARDINE . . . Sharing the English Literature department with Mr. I-lorning is Mr. Smith. Noted for his silent classrooms and very comprehensive tests, he also teaches American Literature and Classic Mythology. During baseball season Mr. Smith is often seen coaching the players on the field during ninth period. A thorough and searching method of teaching world history is presented at Flint- ridge under the directorship of that learned historian, Mr. Joseph Fasken. From him, the student learns not a mass of meaningless historical facts, but a unified coverage of historical material and the influence of this information on the events of today. Mr. Robert Jardine, instructor of manual arts and mechanical drawing, is noted for his love of buttermilk and his ability to make all needed repairs in the school. Also to Mr. Jardine goes the credit for the creation of many projects on the campus. A willing and reassuring friend to his many students, Mr. Jardine is an invaluable member of the Flintridge faculty.

and to MISS GUSWEILER, MISS HOOSER, and MRS. CHATTERTON Miss Louise Gusweiler, head of the junior Division, is the person responsible for the fine library which we have at Flintridge. Through her accuracy in handling the library funds and in keeping track of the many books, the library has become a constant source of help to the students, in which one is almost sure to lind desired material, whatever it may be. On the shoulders of Mrs. Chatterton rests the development of the Primary School. A young, lively person herself, she is idolized by the many youngsters over whom she keeps constant vigil. When Miss I-looser walks onto the Flintridge campus, one invariably finds her surrounded by her many pupils. This fact exemplifies why she is so popular with the grade-school youngsters. Besides teaching in the Grammar School, Miss Hooser presides over one half of the French and Spanish classes. l
