De- spite the fact that she faces a mob of freshman English novices every day. she manages to work with the Cheer- leaders, Pom Pons, and the Mascot (probably as an anti- dote).

Miss Carole Dement is another of those poor souls who has to face the freshmen in English. To make it worse, she is a new teacher and hasn't had the time to prepare herself for this impossible task. As she finds the time, she sews, travels, reads, and listens to music. Mrs. Joan Sternberg is another first-year teacher here, al- though she substituted a bit last year.
