DURING THE YEAR Niiss Beamer, the sewing director, interests lkhss YXM-irkcr in some gay material lor a summer dress l ll ,fi . xx H ln a little room further down thc hall lyiiss Dickinson was talking to Miss Newton. The former made an amusing remark on seeing Johnnie, but he already knew that she delighted in teasing unsuspecting students and entertaining her algebra and trigonometry pupils with her witty re- marks. l-le was sure that her jolly disposition would be of aid, when she coached class plays, in relieving the mono- tony of long practices. Miss Newton was quiet but equally friendly and explained that she taught one class of fresh- man English in addition to her work as music instructor in the grade school. ln the other English room was Miss Martin, who taught English to underclassmen. Johnnie was immediately attracted by the English projects on display by the window. He was impressed by the quiet dignity of this teacher and felt certain that many of the younger pupils hrst learned to appreciate hnc literature in the English classes. Before he left, Miss Martin showed Johnnie some of the yearbook pictures and told him that she supervised that branch of the publications. Across the hall lvfiss Gross also showed him student projects. She taught World and American history. John- nie soon discovered that Miss Gross loved a good time as much as the students did and was sure her classes must be extremely interesting. ln the next room Johnnie found a quiet, unassuming young man who said that he taught chemistry and geometry. Mr. Mcffonnaughey, an alumnus, had been so interested in science during his school days that he had come back to teach that subject. ln t.he little music room at the end of the hall Johnnie found Mr. Rush- worth, the music supervisor, repairing a clarinet. He stayed a little while and asked many questions about the band and the orchestra. Mr. Rushworth, himself a talented musician, spends his summers in the University of Michi- gan music department and at the Mozart festival at Ashville, N. C. As Johnnie descended to the Grst floor he met fwfr. Waugaman, the basketball and football coach, and boys' gym instructor, and stopped to talk for a few minutes. The coach informed him that he also taught sophomore English. Johnnie saw immediately that the coach was exceptionally modest. 16
