SQENTISTS My head is spinningnis often heard from pupils emer- ging from classes of Messers. William Wood, Fred Ellsworth, and Robert Runyan. Reason-- these teachers carry students into the difficult field of sci- ence. It all begins in the eighth grade with General Science, taught by Mr. Runyan, who ad- vises the freshmen and the Var- sity B Club. Mr. Ellsworth, adviser of the Camera and Bi- ology Clubs, continues the good work with a freshman course in biology. Sophomores can 'f take zoology and botany from Mr. Ellsworth and Plane Ge- ometry from Mr. Runyan, Chemistry and physics are pre- sented in the junior and senior years by Mr. Wood, who also directs visual education and advises the Chemistry and Projection Clubs. Mr. Runyan will be remembered this year for coaching the football team through an undefeated season. He earned his A. B. degree at University of Chicago, Western Reserve, Wooster, and Ohio Northern. Mr. Ellsworth heads the faculty committee for professional study. He has been enrolled at the University of Michigan, Bowling Green, and Defiance College, and holds both B. S. and M. S. degrees. Mr. Wood received his education from Toledo University, Ohio State, and Ohio Northern, emerging with a B. S. degree. Mr, Runyan, Mr. Ellsworth, Mr. Wood TWINS -- Miss Wheat, Mrs. Robinson V l 'Am I seeing double? Here is another expression often heard among students. For Burn- ham's faculty is unique in the fact that it has twin teachers, Mrs. Julia Robinson and Miss Elizabeth Wheat. Both teach Special Education classes. Mrs. Robinson has A. B. and B. S. degrees, while Miss Wheat has B. S. and M. S. degrees. Both graduated from St. Mary's of the Springs and Ohio State Univer- sity.

MUSICIANS 'Music hath charms --- when taught by Mr. Glenn Morgan or Mr. Robert Wy- andt. New this year, Mr. Mor- gan directs music at Maple- wood, Hillview, and Central Avenue schools, in addition to supervising the glee clubs and Girls' Ensemble here. For the first time in many seasons, , Burnham this year presented i an operetta Enchanted Isle, which owed its success to Mr. Morgan, who attended Bluffton College, Harvard University,and New York University, receiv- ing A.B. and B.S.M. degrees. Popp Wyandt, as he is affectionately called by band members, in addition to his instrumental music, has classes in American History, government, and economics. Assemblies are arranged by this jovial man, whose extra-curricular activities include coaching the drum majorettes, a band of Maplewood students, and a junior girls' ensemble. His chief work, though, is with the band. Pop graduated from Bowling Green and Wittenberg College. He has a B. S. degree. XIV fXIorg.1li, Mr. Nxalnil Mrs Bxximimi.
