HOBBIES IN STRIDE In the modern classroom maps and at- lases furnish a background for understand- ing timely events in this fast-moving World of today. Bringing many phases of history and social studies to light in an interesting way, Mrs. Marie Gilbert, Miss Virginia Fer- tig, and Miss Bertha Muedeking make stu- dents conscious of one world. Merry Christmas in any language means fun and merry making. Mrs. Mary Harmon, Mr. Bernard Winkelman, and Miss Mabel Surratt have really caught the Christmas spirit as seen by the smiles on their faces. Many stories of Christmas are familiar to English teachers, Mrs. Harmon and Miss Surratt, but Mr. Vvinkelman, German in- structor, feels no one celebrates Christmas with as much festivity as the Germans. Hobbies make a fascinating pastime and provide an escape from daily routine as shovvn by three of Murray's mathematics teachers. Miss Olive Batschelet takes excel- lent care of her many plants, and finds much enioyment in her pitcher collection of over 300. Miss Louise Smith is very fond of music, but at the moment she seems to be interested in discussing geology with Mrs. Helene Becker. Mrs. Becker has collected many specimens for her study of geology.
