In order for a student body to be active, it is imperative that the faculty be likewise. Ours definitely is not lazy. Coming from coal-mining districts, Pennsylvania Dutch homes, the moun- tains, and only heaven knows where all, our mentors have combined all their good qualities and organized into an up-and-doing branch of the York County Teachers' Association. Mr. Myers, the man who knows all about large charges, is president of the association. Every month, rain or shine, the faculty has a social. Buffet suppers, banquets, and just jolly good times consume the evenings when our dig- nified teachers get together. According to one of their number, they sometimes play dumb little games. We thought that We students were the only ones guilty of that. Under the supervision of the artistic member of the faculty. Miss Wilgus, some of the teachers try their hand at making pins, plaques, and other little novelties. Miss Perry has also formed a sewing group. Those in this group find it quite simple to get their mending done. The first Monday of the month is the time fo teachers' meeting. We students are also awar of it because that day at 2:45 instead of 3:3 we leave the portals of our school. The members of the faculty are as busy as bees. Correcting the tests over which we labori- ously slave is a task we do not covet. Chaperon- ing our parties, acting as ticket sellers, advising our school paper and yearbook, keeping ac counts of our class funds, supervising our school plays, and countless other things take up o great part of their time. For most of them, thei: work does not end when vacation time rolls around. They are transformed into almost eve type of worker-farmer, industrial worker, radi announcer. Among the faculty, as among almost anythin else at school, variety is very obvious. Plum and slender, tall and short, sober and carefre male and female-all sorts are found in thei midst. But in one thing we are aware that thef TOP LEFT: Highspot of the faculty's Christmas Party was th- arrival of Santa Kulp with presents for all.

are somewhat alike. That is their intelligence. It is very unusual for a high school of our size to have as many masters degrees alter the names ol its faculty as we do. It we don't learn, it isn't because our teachers don't have the brains, but it could be that we are not as ambitious as they. Day in and day out of the school year the faculty are always ready to help us. We have always been aware ol the aid they gave us in our daily work. But now that we are ready to leave school and try our fortune, we realize how much they have helped us get ready for this. . ts. 5 t 1 L .
