MRS. RUTH BROWN Mrs. Brown is a native of Toledo and a grad- uate of Toledo University. She was gradu- ated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education and has been here in Maumee three years. ln her classes, Mrs. Brown is trying to provide a good foundation for her Qirls by stressing the practical side rather than the theoretical. Mrs. Brown has inaugurated the Home Nursing Course in our high school and next year intends to follow the Bed Cross Nutri- tion Course. While these are very worth- while at any time, during this war they are especially commendable. Congratulations, Mrs. Brown. MR. ELDON COX lf you have ever noticed a bunch of fellows gathered together telling jokes, the center of attraction might be Mr. Cox, our new in- dustrial arts teacher. Besides having mas- tered this art, for a sideline he also coaches junior high football and basketball, and B- squad basketball. The success of the B- squad this year was a result of his good nature and fine spirit. He is always willing to bet on basketball shots and incidentally does rather well for himself. Mr. Cox received his education at Bowling Green University. His home town is Weston, Ohio, and he has a family of three: mamma, papa, and a little one. His pet peeve seems to be basketball players who have drib- blitisf' Sounds contagious.

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.

MISS ANNE L. PHILLIPS Miss Anne L. Phillips is a newcomer as of September, 1943. Iudging from her birth- place, which is Denver, Colorado, she is a native Westerner, but l guess the cowboys were too much for her and she came east. Miss Phillips got the general idea of readin', 'riting and 'rithmetic at Weston High School in Weston, Ohio. From there, Bowling Green State University claimed her, and after a certain length of time agreed to give her a degree of Bachelor of Science. But that wasn't enough, so she settled in Ann Arbor, at the University of Michigan and came out with a Master of Arts degree. Miss Phillips' field is commercial, which includes bookkeeping, commercial law, in- surance and general business. Included in these are such things as budgeting and in- terest computation. Miss Phillips explains that a commercial course in high school, is more or less an exploratory course, designed to give the pupils an insight as to what business is like. MRS. ROSALIE HOUSEL Mrs. Rosalie Housel was born in Toledo in 1920. She was graduated from De Vilbiss High School and received her Bachelor of Education degree from Toledo University. At Maumee High, Mrs. Housel teaches typing, shorthand and office practice. She sends for the international Gregg shorthand and typing awards for the most skilled stu- dents in each field. Mrs. Housel advises the Ioumalism Club, which publishes the Static monthly, and the Reflector annually. As a field trip this winter, Mrs. Housel took the Static staff tof twenty-fivel to the Blade building where the interested stu- dents saw every step in the process of pub- lishing a large newspaper. By the way, Mrs. Housel has only one ambition-to have a new mimeograph machine. H6
