FACULTY: Several New Teachers in P. H. S. The personnel of the faculty of Port- land High School changed somewhat during this school year. Mr. Harold S. Brubaker, who suc- ceeded Mr. Weller, came to Portland well qualified to fulfill his position as principal. The holder of a Bachelor of Arts degree from Ball State Teachers College and a Master of Arts degree from Indiana University, Mr. Brubaker has also taken work at the University of Illinois and has done graduate work in the School of Education at Ball State. Miss Louise Jameson, with a B. S. degree in music from Ball State, became supervisor of music in the Portland schools after a year's experience in Pennville. Miss Jeanne McCarty received a B. S. degree from Ball State last June and was placed as director of girls' physical education in Portland. The position of science teacher was left vacant in January when Mr. Cady resigned to accept a position with the Delco Remy Corporation in Anderson, Indiana. His place was filled by Mr. Ralph Settle, a former teacher in the Newcastle Junior High School who holds a B. S. degree from Ball State and who has done graduate work at Indiana University toward a Master's. Additional Training For Many The local Federation of Teachers, in urging the adoption of a uniform salary schedule, also encouraged each teacher to take more training in his particular field. Two teachers have already earned a second degree. Last summer, Miss Arbogast received an M. A. degree in home economics from Columbia Uni- versity, and Miss Harvey completed work on a B. S. degree in library science, also from Columbia. In August Mr. Starr will receive an M. A. degree from Ball State. Mr. Farris has done work at Ball State and Mr. Hedges at Columbia, both leading toward the Master's degree. Miss Tharp has done Work at Ball State and at George Washington Uni- versity in Washington, D. C. in prepara- tion for a Master's degree with counsel- ing as a major. This 'n That Things not learned in college-Miss McCarty decided that college didn't prepare one for some situations that might arise. When a Freshman girl turned up after gym class minus her dress, consternation almost developed into panic. The awkward state of af- fairs was saved by sending the poor girl home in a snow suit. A new excuse for not coming to school -Mr. Brubaker gave a C for this one: A telephone message called me home and nobody was there, so I just waited all day. . Mistakes never cease-Mr. Farris was very enthusiastically presenting an 11B lesson to a group of unresponsive students the first day of the new semes- ter. After the first twenty minutes, he was informed that it was a 9A class. The case of the missing bridegroom --Miss White wants to find the bride- groom. After returning from the tour- ney at Huntington, she discovered a large sign announcing Just Married on the back of her car. Could the two Senior girls or the teacher from Madi- son who accompanied her know any- thing about it? Velma Steed fafter A. A. U. W. tea to Mr. Hedgesjz If you wait a minute, Mrs. Hedges will be down to Walk home with you. Mr. Hedges: I can't Wait. She left me at home with Jimmie. Why?? Does Mr. Todd drive to school and then walk home . . . Does Mrs. Steven- son call all girls on the Typhoon Staff Carol . . . Is it that Miss Jameson Wants to go back to Niagara Falls . . . Does Mrs. Jones always sneeze in Room 3 . . . Does Miss Tharp always have cold hands . . . Does Mr. Bair go dog hunting instead of rabbit hunting.
