Z MORE OF THE R F S 'TD' The music goes round and round in Mr. Jones' mind. He is the gentleman who deserves so mur-h c-redit in bringing mu- sic trophies to our halls. How- ever, we know his secret pride to he the development of at youthful soprano at home. Miss XVorlr-y has long been a favorite with the Junior High as a friend as Well as an in- strur.-tor in history. Her fa- mous hlackboard quotations :irc-, ive believe, on a. par with those of philosophers long- extinct. Miss Greene must have the ser-ret for avoiding gray hair after the way in which some of her Home Economics girls mistook washing soda for halc- ing soda. The other teachers envy her little kitchen and the neat manner in which it is kept. Theorem A1 If a mathematios tearhei' of unsual intelligence, sur-h as Miss Baker, he placed in a 1-lzrs of students propor- tionately stupid, a great deal of fun and worry are bound to ensue. M'ss Roach, physir-al d.rec'tor of the girls, teaches them sportsiianship in and out of the game. 1-ler girls' basket- ivali team and her fine May llay programs both deserve high praise. Mothers of sehoolf.-hildren have forsaken the hogiem:1n in favor of Stew Baker erstwhile truant officer. In this duty and in his Capacity as teacher of woodworking, he is in close I-ontac-t with the students and ahle to give them the advan- tages of his anecdotes. Page 20

MORE OF THE P R F S 'TD' A deep regret will ln- lk-lt lvl every student when W-llsiit-l leaves His friendly niainnl-r am-vounts for his 1m1ii1lz11'ity. while his tine work in zitlilvtii-s has made Highl:incls very proud of hint. Professor C. R. Rouse is notl-il for his cool, i-zilvtiluteil inzinner 01' doing' things. It we were only with you another yezir. Mr. Rouse, we might learn to read your writing and learn what LK R, stands for. It was Miss Roudelwush who first taught us hon' many men t-an do how mum-h work in how many days. XYe are truly grateful to her, for now we are able to put what we have learned into effect. Hamlet said, Ulfrztilty. thy name is 'Womanl' XYe clon't put much faith in this, hon'- ever, for Miss XYhite rules her English classes with a firm hand and woe to hirn who splits his infinitive. lVe cannot say that Miss XVelker is not the type, Al' though she may nut ap1i1'ux'e our one finger, hunt-pw-k sys- tem, still she takes pride in the fart that we can spell sul-h words as 'h.li-ire with our eyes closed. See? Miss Mf'Chesney has at hrr fingertips at Vast store ut knowledge, of whit-h she has soaked up more than ax'+-rage. Her greatest sur-1-ess, liowe-vel: we believe is, not in managing the library, hut in the role ol' Juliet. Mr. Anderson is also 4'UIIllfJ2ll ?l- tively new to us. Through his great intf-rest in publir' speak- ing, he has r-onyerts-d the most mumbling of us to glib sipeali- ers. Madame Taylor represents to us everything that is kind and fun-loving. XVhen wc- leave hm' we will hate to say 'tGoorll,ye' So we'll merely say A de- main, Page I9

XYe started with her in the lower grades, nioved rapidly along under her super- vision in the llllfCl'Illt'dl1lfQ grades. and now we we-leoine her guiding hand again here at Highlands. If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, we would all ini- rnecliately eat so niany apples that we would have stomafh an-hes: for we prefer Miss Browns methods and her eheery, rompanionable ways. This picture is an illusion: Mr. Miller does not always teach to deserted classrooms. No, indeed, we derive a great deal of pleasure from attending his classes, even though he may stand firmly before us and say They shall not pass. Miss Seite-r has capably iilled the varsanc-y left by our beloved Miss Berry. XYe have not been acquainted with her lo n g enough to discover faults or defieiences, but long enough to recognize her goodness. It was a great shock to us to enter Mr. Schmitfs f.-lass only to find that what we had been drinking under the guise of water was really HZU. Indeed, all his classes are as astound- ing and 4-exf-iting as 51 tgirr-us sideshow, and for this reason We enter with light steps.
