Lan ua es Despite a full time program of classes in Latin which she taught with expert understanding, Winifred Bull shared her hobby of photography with amateur shuttcrbugs by sponsoring Camera Club. Charmingly vivacious, Ann Cornelison made the Spanish language come alive for her students. As co- SfKjnsor of Y-Teens, she helped with club activities. Drawing upon her rich cultural background, Esther Conway not only taught her students Spanish and French but imbued many with her own love of the languages. All three belonged to the Language Arts Club to help coordinate their work with that of the English teachers. Tneir Specialty . .

Mr. Harms drew upon his own experience and wisdom to counsel students interested in sell- ing or in business. With patience and skill, Mr. Wootten trained seventy-two youthful drivers through countless hours of individualized driving instruction. In addition, he taught a class in world history.
