FACU LTY MISS JULIA TAYLOR. A. 13. Min Taylor, teacher of Higher Latin, is a graduate of the University of Colorado. She has a vast, infallible. and, in fact, awe-inspiring knowledge of her subject. She succeeds in interesting practically all of her pupils in Latin, and the rest she terrifies into submission. Miss Taylor has Roman ideas of discipline, and Roman firmness in their execution. She is a capable, generous and untiring instructor, and we are proud of her. MISS NELLE I). SCOTT. A. 13. Miss Scott, aside from all her other good qualities, is something of a genius. Even as a girl she demonstrated this fact by taking honors at Port Collins High School. Later she completed a four-year course at Colorado College in three years; and that her work was thorough is shown by her broad, general knowledge and her capable teaching of English. Miss Scott is sympathetic, dignified, broad-minded. Her personality is unusual and pleasing, and she makes life worth while for her students. MR. HOMER O. DODDS. 13. S. Mr. Dodds was graduated from the Ottawa University of Kansas. He is a firm believer in athletics; and. along with all his biological, astronomical, geological and historical cares, he has made himself the very soul of athletic sports in our High S liool. Never did there live a more jolly. Industrious, generous, erratic or lovable man than Mr. Dodds, and this school would not be the same school without him. MISS AUGUSTA REICHMUTH, A. 13. Miss Reichmuth is our German teacher and is our teacher of German. She ig a graduate of Ripon College, Wisconsin, where some German must surely be known, for she has certainly taught us a lot about how Deutch zu lernen, und spree hen und also lesen. Miss Reichmuth has an unusual amount of reserve and dignity for one who looks so young, and has a habit of calling us “children. Still she has a lively sense of humor, is very lenient with us and we think the world of her. MISS JULIA T. CARLSON, A. 13. Miss Carlson came from the State University at Boulder, and she is always willing to stand up for her school. As for personal characteristics. she is merry and lively, and pretty, which last quality, among si hool teachers we deem not unworthy of remark. Miss Carlson has taken upon herself the arduous task of teaching English to the Sophomores and Freshmen, und is more frigid, exacting and relentless than she looks. We all like her, ulthougb we have a dread foreboding that we are likely to lose her at any time. MISS CARRIE LINDLEY Miss Lindley, our Assistant Principal and Teacher of Higher Mathematics. has been at different times a student in the Highland University of Kansas, in the Chicago University, and she is a graduate in Elocution and English Literature of the Detroit Training School. She has had charge of the Senior ('lass play every year for the last five years, and has always made it a success. She is “in manners finely taught. and is as good a woman as she is a teacher.
