g '4 Game Mr. ROBERT WEAR has his headquarters. He's a newcomer to our faculty-the new coach who enthusiastically coached our hard-fighting foot- ball and basketball teams. In addition, Mr. Wear teaches freshmen the fundamentals of Civics and instructs the boys' Physical Education classes. Now Mr. Joe Citizen, we'll go upstairs and meet some other faculty members, urged Marge. First is the Music Room where Mr. CHARLES LAUGHLIN reigns. He is the talented maestro of our Band, Orchestra, and Girls' Chorus. He also personally instructs students in individual music lessons. Through his efforts in assembly we have some really good group sing- ing. Next door is the Biology Lab, Room 7. Miss BETTY EVANS is the popular young teacher who is very well versed in her chosen field of Biology. Besides her four classes of Biology she teaches a class of Chemistry. She is greatly interested in her students' welfare. The next room is that of Mrs. RUDDELL URCH, a sister of the first one we met. She has quite a varied schedule consisting of a Latin l class, an English IV class and a class each of Algebra I and Algebra ll. She assumed her teaching responsibilities after Mrs. Shears' departure during the first semester. In Room 9 we find the optimistic Miss CLAIRE GROSS whose duties are imparting the facts of the World and American History to the sophomores and iuniors. Colorful and instructive posters are always vis- ible on the walls, and she encourages class dis- cussions on current topics. Under her capable supervision, our May Day Festival is a beautiful pageant. After we climb these steps we shall see Room T0 and Mr. CHARLES MATHEWS, who con- ducts two classes in Spanish I, one in Spanish II, and two in Problems of Democracy. In all of these classes, he brings out good relations with our neighbors and stimulates our thinking con- cerning the post-war world of freedom for all. In addition to teaching duties, he is financial adviser of the Mountaineer. The laughter you iust heard came from Room ll where Miss ALICE KEFFER has her soph- omores in a gay mood with one of her witty re- marks. She expounds the mysteries of nature in her General Science classes and conditions the girls to whom she teaches fair play in the Phy- sical Education classes. She has won high es- teem from teachers and students alike. Con- trary to superstition, Room I3 is lucky for it has Miss MARIE MARTIN as homeroom counsellor. She is the sincere, friendly, and well-informed teacher of Freshman and Junior English. She in- troduces us to the characters of Literature and we feel they are real acquaintances. But the highest praise goes to her for her untiring efforts as faculty adviser for the yearbook. If we chanced to visit Room T4 the third period, we would find Miss REBA NEWTON, who teaches a Freshman English class that period. Her head- quarters is the grade school where she is the Supervisor of Grade School Music and the skilled director of their Glee Club. Well, Mr. Joe Citizen, that completes the tour, said Marge. It was most interesting, added Mr. Joe Citizen. l'm sure George Wash- ington and all of the historic leaders of this civili- zation would be proud of the efforts of those who have upmost in their minds the words, 'Let us raise up a standard to which the wise and honest can repair.'
