VERNON KUYKENDALL-kIt's a miracle that the school building is still here intact after all Mr. Kuykendall's puttering around with chemistry. Sometimes he stays after school till 6 p. in. getting in the janitor's way just to work out some new Kuykendall theory. You probably guessed it, he teaches general science and chemistry. B. V. LUDINGTON-One of the best debate coaches that KUHS has ever had is Mr. Ludington, who resigned his position after the first semester so that he could study law. If there's anything that Limelight Ludington loves, it's publicity, and he would do almost anything to see his name in the paper, LUCILLE O'NEILL--A teacher who goes out of her way to help her pupils is certain to be wellfliked by her students, Such an instructor is Mrs. O'Neill. She has a singular habit of never sitting at her own desk but insists on using one of the student's front desks. KARL PETERSONfProbably one of the proudest fathers in the world--well, in Amer' ica anywaygis Mr. Peterson, junior English teacher. He is always discovered reading books on the care of children and can be seen every Sunday carefully wheeling a baby buggy through the streets. He is also a first rate conversationalist. ELLA REDKEY-Dressed in shorts and tennis shoes, Miss Redkcy, girls' physical edu- cation instructor, looks more like one of her students than a teacher. Cutting up poor innocent frogs and other helpless animals is her specialty, but she does it not out of cruelty, but to enlighten her biology classes. DONALD ROSS-Temperamental Mr. Ross teaches commercial arithmetic, business training, mechanical drawing, and geometry. Then, too, he is an electrician and can fix ironing cords, washing machines, and burned out fuses, Of course usually they don't work after he's through with them, but they were broken in the first place, so what's the difference? GERALDINE ROYCROFTiJunior and senior English teacher, Mrs. Roycroft, is notor- ious for giving a test every day to her classes, and her greatest ambition is to someday weigh 100 pounds. But the poor thing will probably never get out of the 90's because she does her own cooking. THEODORE RUSSELL-HYou're juniors now, remember that. You're not freshmen any longer, you're juniors. These are the words that greet Mr. Russell's junior home room every day. He teaches geometry, algebra, and trigononietry, too. He's very helpful at home, often helping with the dishes, polishing his car, and listening to the radio. DOROTHY SCHUPP-Peppy Miss Schupp likes two things awfully wellfalgebra and her Studebaker C1937 modelj. She studied algebra in school, teaches algebra in this school, and corrects algebra papers after school. After a day of teaching nothing but algebra she likes nothing better than to go for a nice long ride. AMY SEVERSON-A new teacher this year, Miss Severson has bravely tackled the job of getting English, orientation, and art through her student's heads, and the best of it is, she's succeeding. This teacher is of Scandinavian descent, has lived in America all her life, and speaks with an English accent, by jove. CHESTER SHULER1Every afternoon at four, junior English teacher, Mr. Shuler, can be seen energetically eating a Night Editor bar. He is known for his famous first and last words, f'Have you got that book report in? , and for his annoying habit of giving 7's twhich are twice as bad as 5'sJ in English. ALBERT SINCLAIRgDark Mr. Sinclair, physics and general science teacher, looks OK in this picture, but that was before he tried to copy Mr. Brauti and raised that bristling red mustache that's been scaring the freshmen so. He's a candid camera fiend and spends all his time trying to develop pictures. HAROLD TEALE-Automobiles never run the same once this instructor's auto mechanics classes have finished with them. Mr. Teale is the quietest faculty member in high school and a poifect gentleman. He can be found anytime dressed in overalls show- ing his pupils how to tix C?J a car in three easy lessons. EVERETT VANDERPOOL-No one can get a word in when Mr. Vanderpool gets started talking about U. S. civics and social economics, so there's nothing to do in his classes but to listen and take tests. He's always making speeches at the Rotary club, which oratory makes him late to school in the afternoons. BLANCHE WATERS- t'La parole est d'argent, le silence est d'or', especially in a school newspaper, says Mrs. Waters, advisor of the Krater, and French and English teacher, Living two whole blocks from school, she had to buy a new rar to drive to work She can make waffles that can actually be digested. VIRGINIA WEST-The nightingale of KUHS is vivacious Miss West, who can sing equally well in English, Spanish, or Latin tif there are any Latin songsj. According to the students, Miss West has one very bad trait. Upon coming into her classes, she always says Are you studying, children? ALENE WILLIAMSON-Nothing is so welcome as food when you're hungry. And here is where Mrs. Williamson comes to the rescue, She has managed the cafeteria, as well taught cooking and sewing with remarkable efficiency. W, STANLEY WOODRUFF-Dishing out detention right and left to ,U boys who forget their excuses is the job of Mr. Woodruff, dean of boys. But it is his duty-and he is really a nice man when he teaches general science. RUTH LIVINGSTON-This teacher has to stay after school every single night. Nope, she hasn't clone anything bad, she's the school secretary and a good one at that, though her duties are the most . exacting in this school.

R0liER'I'A B. BLOMQUIST-- I'll bet I can live on less food and sleep than anyone else in this school, declares Mrs. Blomquist, teacher of senior English and dramatics. She sits up all night working feverishly on a play or a book and then sleeps all the next day, not even getting up in time for supper. TRYGVE BRAlVI'I -Chanipion mustache grower is Mr. Brauti, general science and bookkeeping teacher. He raises a new one for Christmas, one to start the new year off right, and one to celebrate six weeks tests. not to mention those in between holidays. Besides this he is a v'-ry capable supervisor of all ticket sales for school affairs. INlRtl'I'IIY E, BUSFH--Things are never dull in ancient or modern and medieval his- tory classes. When recitations lag, Mrs. Busch promptly begins telling of her wonderful experiences when she was in Washington. If her pupils have heard this story more than ten times before aml object, she can swiftly switch to her operation. RAYMUND CUOPEY-Have you any kicks about the band? Blame Mr. Coopey, he won't care smuch. Anyhow, he's a fine band leader, and he can even play an instru- ment 'the trumpet. Every once in awhile he stops playing to teach biology. His favorite exclamation of surprise, joy, grief, or pain, is Oh, gad. .IICNNIIC IC. IDEIJI'II.I.--I reshinan English and home management are the by Miss llelzell, and although this is the first year she has taught home has done a good job of it.

In the meantime she is entertaining herself by her pet hobbies of horse-back riding and the collecting of phonograph records. RIITII FINK'-A first rate connncrcial teacher is Miss Fink. When students get out of her shorthand and typing classes, she's 'learned 'em' a thing or twog usually two. She spends all her spare time reading True Stories and detective magazines and resting, believe it or not. IlWItllI'I' l RICNf'H-Beholil one of those absent minded about, Ile spends an hour looking for his pencil on his the floor, only to find it where he put it--in his pocket. tion and biology pupils aren't complaining.

GO0Il Mrs. Good is really as good as she sounds. She's a good Latin teacher, a good home room teacher, a good housekeeper, tand so on far into the nightj, Better than anything she loves to climb. If there are no mountains around, she just climbs steps, Bl'IIlI.AlI GORE rtllee club, orchestra, and English teacher is Miss Gore. When she gets really angry at her students, she stamps her foot, marches up to the blackboard, and writes Oh foo. Miss Gore's passion is knitting, She knits her own blouses, skirts, stockings, sweaters, etc., etc., etc. AI.I'f'I'IIA GRAY+Iloggone, if anyone has bad luck, it's this first year shorthand aml typing teacher. Every time she goes out skiing, or skating she comes back looking like something the cat drugged in. Well, maybe not quite that bad, but she always has several bumps and bruises and at least two black eyes. AR'I'IIllR GllS'I'AFSON 'This teacher, better known as Snowy, was especially im- ported to KUIIS from Milton-Freewater just to coach football. Ile is one of the most popular members in school, and he spends his home room period writing what looks like letters. Besides coaching he teaches II. 5. History. KI'1NNI'I'I'II IIAMMICR-Kllistory teacher, Mr. Hammer is a gambler. It's scandalous but true. Ile just can't stop betting people milkshakes. Ile bets on how many points he's going to make when he plays basketball, whether it will rain or snow, etc. But there is one good thing-he never collects. MORRIS IIARVICY--Mr, Harvey, who took the place of Mr. Ludington as social economics, commercial law, and sociology teacher, loves to chop wood, wear his oldest clothes on Saturday, and try to figure out a new way to run the government. He has a wife, a little boy, and a sense of humor. ALIVE IIOWARIl Mrs. Howard has one of the most tiring and often thankless jobs in school, that of being dean of girls. Sympathetic and fair at all times, she has capably handled not only the dean's job, but has taught geometry as well. She would rather garden than have a Sl,000,000. VICTOR I.. .IEPSEN-A new teacher at KUHS, Mr. .Iepson teaches typing and book- keeping, Ile was very smart when he was a boy. In fact he graduated from high school at I5 and was valedictorian at that. His ambition is to write a book that will be a best sellerr- or something. ige I3

Conveying three hundred students by bus to and from school is another task performed by these hard working gentle- men. Floor scrubbing, window washing. dusting is all in the day's work for them. One of the greatest prides and joys of the school is the fine safety record of our bus drivers. Mr. Largent.
