IURORS OF THE JUVENILE COURT Marian Reames Marian holds down two jobs this year. She is secretary of both Mr. Mahan and Mr. Curtis. Some students th i n k her very liberal in distributing seventh periods, but the dose isn't so bitter when accompanied by her winning smile. Marian was graduated from M. H. S. with the class of '26. At the head of the English depart- ment is Miss Stevens. Her journalism class owes much of the success of The Artesian Herald to her. She's always there when she is needed. When it comes to creat- ing autobiogra- phers out of her senior English students, she is at Hannah Stevens wonder. As sponsor of the year book, Miss Stevens has always proved her efficiency. Mr. Scheidler heads the social L. J. Scheidler science depart- ment. Present day political and economic affairs are studied in his classes as well as e v e n t s of the past. His ability to make clear any point in the les- son is greatly ap- preciated by his students. Mr. Scheidler is also the efficient treasurer of the local High School Athletic Association. As a teacher of Latin Miss Hart has proved to be one state: her stu- dents h a v e al- w a y s achieved honors in t h e L a tin contests.

She sponsors the Latin Club and the ever- popular Musicae Latinae. The senior class is proud to have Miss Rose, who supervises the mathe- matics depart- ment, as one of its sponsors. The fact that she has been a junior and s e n i o r sponsor several times speaks for itself of her dependabil- ity. One of her hobbies is to pick a good-humored Margaret Rose argument with the gentlemen in her classes. Mr. Colvin is at th mercial department. l Z Robert Colvin e head of the com- He teaches short- hand and typing and manages the H i g h S c h 0 o l Bookstore.

'UTEP' ' Students are often seen consulting Miss Ossenberg, of the science de- p a r t m e n t , on chemistry a n d physics problems. T h e s c i e n c e rooms are always a scene of pleas- a n t industrious confusion. M i s s Ossenberg is the guiding power be- hind the Girl Reserves' activities. June Ossenberg Our assistant principal is a person with a twinkle in - his eye and a mis- leading e x p r e sion around his mouth. But if t h e s t u d e n t catches him look- i11g at him with this expression, Mr. Williams sud- , denly bursts forth with a smile. Many bewildering problems are solved in his general science classes. The State Champs consider Mr. Williams their veteran buddy. He also bears the venerable title of the girls' and boys' friend , and he is just that- Lcwis Williams Mr. Hochstetler, head of the in- dustrial arts de- partment, goes to the shops in the gym for his class- es.

If he should visit the agricultural room, he would again see Mr. Calvin leading the dis- cussion, only this time it would be about things concerning farming. He sponsors the Agriculture Club and Junior and Senior High Boys' 4-H Clubs as well. Otis Calvin Under Mr. Spaulding's successful direction the band has contin- ued to progress the la s t f e W years. Sometimes 'the martial strains of the band do not har- monize with the symphonic tones of the orchestra when both are practicing the third period. Mr. Spaulding also has classes in history. Another of Mr. Spaulding's major du- ties has been serving as co-sponsor of the senior class. Vernon Spaulding often the third period study hour is punctuated with bits of in- strumental har- mony from the orchestra under Mrs. Kelso's di- rection. V o c al music is preva- lent during the practice periods of the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. Mrs. Kelso has one class in harmony and appreciation.
