DOROTHY LINDBLAD Home Economics Miss Lindblad entered high school with us so we both tried to make each other feel at home. Her brilliant ideas and charm¬ ing manner are appreciated by all. She is very capable in her work concerning the cafeteria and has made the girls - tasks easier with her smile and sweet voice. HOWARD ABBOTT French, Mathematics One of the most popular members of the faculty is Mr. Abbott. He is the coach of our second team in basketball which under his firm but quiet direction succeeded in ending the season victoriously with 18 wins to just one loss. His classes in General Math are interesting especially to Fresh¬ man pupils, and his French classes are instructive and enjoyable. EDITH Z. ROSE Business Practice, Typing, Bookkeeping Miss Rose is one of our most cheerful teachers. She came to us in our Junior year, but we got acquainted with her in a short time. She is always willing to lend a helping hand. Perhaps it isn ' t widely known that she plays the piano. I’m sure we ' d enjoy hearing her. PALMA DeBAGGIS English, Latin One of the prettiest and most efficient members of the faculty is Miss DeBaggis. She has made her Latin and English classes most interesting and enjoyable to all. Her fine cooperative spirit and her willingness to help have made her most popular with the students. Her interest in our social affairs is confirmed by her presence at them all.

ROBERT HANCOCK History, Business Practice, Civics Mr. Hancock is the proud father of a son. We hope his son will turn out as well as he did. He is very well liked because of his enthusiasm in his students and subjects and his fine humor. He will always be remembered for his good disposition and willingness to help his students. GORDON H. FITZPATRICK Mathematics Here is a teacher whom the Freshmen class could not do with¬ out. Under his experienced tutelage the problems of Algebra are easier to solve. “ His patience is his virtue,” so many upper¬ classmen say. To see him after class without a group of beginners in ‘‘math would certainly be out of the ordinary. “A does more work than ”B” but ”C does more work than ”B.” Who does the most work? (Ask Mr. Fitzpatrick). J. MURRAY STEVENS Science, Biology, Band, Orchestra Mr. Stevens, the talented director of ' our school orchestra and band, has made our school assemblies and activities very enjoy¬ able with his fine arrangements. His classes in science and biology are very popular as attributed to the fact that many pupils may be found in his homeroom after school. HENRI BEANE English, Economics, Problems of Democracy Mr. Beane is the most popular member of the faculty. It is little wonder that he is so popular, for he is the coach that gave us such an excellent basketball team this year and spurred the boys on to many victories. His English classes are most interesting as are his other classes also. Page Fourteen Nineteen Hundred Forty-Two

0 ALICE BEANE Girls’ Athletics, Salesmanship, Ancient History Whom did we always seek to help us put over our dances and parties? Of course, Miss Beane. She has always been ready and willing to help her students in school work and social ac¬ tivities. As a matter of fact, many of us can thank her for teaching us how to dance. May you always keep that cheery smile and hello, Miss Beane. HOWARD LAUNDRY Boys’ Physical Director Mr. Laundry ' s boys could hardly wait for his classes as he joined in and became one of them in gymnastics. He is always ready to assist in the exhibitions, and everyone enjoyed his new ideas and presentation of them. MARIE RILEY Supervisor of Music Mrs. Riley is one of the busiest women in town, but for all that she finds time to teach some fine songs to the high school glee club. We have always enjoyed her delightful assemblies, and she has always been willing to prepare them in short order. Her girls in Glee Club will never forget her for her patience and good nature. IRENE K. WIGHT Supervisor of Art The pupils under Mrs. Wight have often expressed what novel ideas she presents. We, the graduating class, are able to echo and confirm this when we think of her unique decorations which helped to make our Junior Prom a success. Mrs. Wight ' s art classes have been popular with both boys and girls. We sincerely thank you, Mrs. Wight. You certainly are a living example of the motto, Always ready, always there.” Page Sixteen Nineteen Hundred Forty-Two
