FACULTY ROTHROCK McCANN McKAY SAUBLE FRASER POWERS STRUVE PRESSLEY BAXTER Our most ambitious dreamer is Mrs. Humphries, with her vision of miles of volumes to fill all still vacant shelves. Mrs. Baxter and Miss Struve, are building castles, also, which resemble a complete home economics unit on the college campus. The agricultural unit which Mr. Pressley plans will be a miniature Davis. When Mr. Powers is not busy converting athletic teams into cham¬ pions, he takes on contests with the economic system. Miss Rothrock trains efficient secretaries and accountants. Mr. Burger reveals the wiles of the salesman and expounds the laws and customs of the modern business world. Mr. Eris, of the triple-threat tongue, never confuses his French and Spanish vocabularies, while reserving his choicest English polysyllables for inquisitions on psychology. Miss Hall ranges wide¬ ly over the world to survey its history and politics. Miss McKay not only knows the lore of plants and animals, but also looks with keen wit and understand¬ ing upon the human world. Mr. Clarke is a clever analyst of manners as well as of matter; he looks with interest upon tempest and test tubes. Mrs. Hu mphrics

FACULTY LEMOS ERIS CLARK LOWE BURGER PORTER MURRIN HALL AMYX 20 • At the portal, greet Miss Porter, the bearer of many burdens and jolly jugler of mail, phone, grade records, or correspondence. She conducts us to our principal, having the undivided loyalty and ardent affection of all his co-workers. We respect Mr. Lemos for his scholarship, admire him for his courtesy, and marvel at the dexterity with which he switches attention from sun-spots to wall blots. When not conducting club meetings, receptions, or exam post¬ mortems, our deans share largely in the academic program. Miss Fraser develops student expression in public speaking, drama, and writing. Mr. Sauble in logarithms, calculus, and architectural drawing. The harmonies of form, line, and color which Mr. Amyx fixes on canvas are translated into living reality in Miss Lowe’s classes in physical education and vocal music. Mr. McCann has an enthusiastic following in band and orchestra. Mr. Murrin takes English and provides the driving power to run the Battery” and La Reata.”

STUDENT BODY Under the guidance of Clifford Campbell, student body president, the student commission developed into a governing body of real ability. With the election of Barbara Ansell as yell leader and Helen Black as secretary at the first of the semester, the student body sponsored a series of rallies and several dances for the football season. Sweaters, megaphones, and pompoms at the football games made the rooters seem an integral part of the games. An advertising committee for the football and basketball games and the attendance of the band at meetings, rallies, and games livened up the games. Toward the end of the semester plans were made for an At Home to be given as soon as we should move into the new building. The moving day was delayed until after Easter vacation, but the commission kept working at the plans. A Christmas program was put on under the leader¬ ship of the student body with members of the musical department showing their talent. Besides social functions that the commission sponsored, their work consisted in adopting a budget, sponsoring a song contest, and appointing numerous committees for the social activities. Handicapped by a lack of auditorium space, the student body held its meetings either in the high school stadium or the gym. The spirited discussions were led by Clifford Campbell, president; Gert Roussi, vice- president; Helen Black, secretary; and Barbara Ansell, yell leader.
