MISS IEAN PELLENS From what she says when one asks her, Miss Pellens has had one of the dullest, most ordinary ot lives. On the other hand from what her students hear in class it has been exactly the opposite. Most of her life has been spent in Cincinnati, but tour years were spent in acquiring a B.A. degree at Western College in Oxford, Ohio. When Miss Pellens is mentioned the seniors naturally think of creative Writing, and the juniors and sophomores think of vocabulary Study or perhaps of transitive verbs-without. No matter what else they think of they are bound to remember pleasantly this teacher who has such a hard time keeping a straight face in her classes. MRS. IANE WILSON That charming smile in the upper hall is Mrs. Wilson's, a newcomer to our school. Mrs. Wilson teaches seventh and eighth grade English and literature, and in these classes she is trying to improve her pupils' reading as well as their grammar fundamentals. With her seventh and eighth graders she has started a Dramatics Club which Successfully gave The Little Red Schoolhouse this past winter. Mrs. Wilson is also advisor for the Girl Reserves and has been trying to introduce the spark of lite to that rather somnolent organization. She was born in Wilmington, Ohio, and went to Wilmington College. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Edu- cation.

Mr. Eibling was born at Dola, Ohio, and .was Grad- uated from Ohio Northern University. He has done graduate work in four universities and expects to receive his doctor's degree soon. Because of his deep, resonant voice and natural abil- ity as a public speaker, Mr. Eibling often is called upon to participate in high school assemblies. Through his eight years of service here, Mr. Eibling has become an integral part of the school system. His friendliness and capability are much appreciated by the student body. PHYLLIS SHEPERD Phyllis Sheperd, a graduate of M.H.S. in 1939, has been a secretary in the school office for the past five years. Phyllis was the principal's secretary for her first three years here, but she became Mr. Eibling's secretary two years ago. Mr. Eibling rates her as the most competent secretary he has ever had, and students will vouch for Phyllis as an under- standing person. Her calmness would be an asset in any high school office. FRANCES BAUERSCHMIDT Frances Bauerschmidt, a graduate of Maumee High School in 1943, was appointed secretary to Mr. O'Neill during the early part of February. She filled her varied job ca abl for the P Y remainder of the school year. fllll I I MR.

MISS ARDAH BROWN Ardah A. Brown is a native of Bowling Green, Ohio, with whose stamping grounds we are all familiar. She attended the local high school and then proceeded to Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts de- gree. However, Miss Brown is a firm believ- er in doing things thoroughly, so she re- turned to B.G. and did graduate work for her Master's degree at the State University there. Miss Brown's Latin classes concentrate their efforts on grammatical foundations which always prove to be very valuable to them, although they never realize it at the time. The second year classes have made notebook projects consisting of classical references they find in everday reading. The first year classes make such art ob- jects as calendars and valentines, and thus utilize some of their newly acquired know- ledge. MRS. LUCILLE GREEN Mrs. Lucille Green, new to our school this year, was born in Toledo, cmd was graduat- ed from Scott High School. She received her degree from Denison and did post- graduate work at Toledo University and Michigan University. She teaches freshman and sophomore English and first and second year Spanish. Her Spanish classes are small and very in- formal. She may often be heard addressing her first year class as gir1s and Norman. Mrs. Green believes the purpose of teach- ing literature is to help develop in the student a taste for good literature. As for grammar, well, it is just a social necessity. In her spare time, Mrs. Green conducts the detention hall. She introduced a new punishment- -no talking or studying in de tention hall. This method helps reduce the number of servers.
