8 ToH RE SOPATK 1925 Mrs. Cecile Johnson (‘“Madame’’) French This is our French teacher par excellence. She speaks as well as a native born Frenchman. All her students are in love with her—and this doesn’t exclude Walter Nine. Miss Emily Johnson, A. B. (“Johnie’’) History English Algebra A lovely lady is seldom a man-hater. However this is true of Miss John- son. She shows her unusual intelligence in many other ways, for she is a history teacher of exceptional merit. Mrs. E. S. Burroughs (‘“Mother’’) Home Economics General Science The words which best describe her are, loyalty and kindness. She gave unreserved support to O. H. S. even though her husband was principal of a rival school, in which her two sons were stude nts. Unfortunately, an accident made it imperative that she drop her work as teacher, shortly after the Christmas holidays. Mr. 0. T. Graser, B.S. ( Tommie”) General Science Agriculture The salary of this teacher is not an adequate compensation for the work which he performs. He has charge of the Freshman boys— nuff said! As a teacher of Agriculture, his proficiency is seldom equalled. He received his training pitching hay on his grandfather’s farm. Miss Hilda Willison (‘‘Willie’’) Typewriting Bookkeeping Shorthand It was after considerable difficulty that we were able to secure her pic- ture for this year book. She had eleven different pictures made before she finally found a good looking one which resembled her. Champion typists and expert business men are trained in her department in large numbers. Miss Hulda Ensor (‘“Sweetie’’) Home Economics General Science Her classes consist of “the kind of girls that men don’t forget.” To be more specific—gocd cooks! In this age of canned goods, what work could be Be ey than that which trains girls to cook “like mother used to bake’? Mrs. Mildred Besse, A. B. (‘Dixie’) (Mr. Besse calls her ‘‘Down.’’) English Civics Guardian angel of the Senior Class. She sure does make them walk the chalk line. That’s why they know so much. In English class they become thorough and clever “Literarians.” By virtue of her pleasant personality Bue has won a high place in the Seniors’ regard which will remain hers or ever, eairnk al a a Ll tS eal
