ARTHUR G. WAIDELICH I was born in the town of LaFayette, Indiana. I took up mechanical engi- neering at Purdue. I attended Purdue because it was close to home, and studied mechanical engineering simply because I couldn't spell electrical engineering, which I wanted to take, but still can't spell. I substituted for an instructor at Purdue University during his illness, and thus my genius as an educator was discovered. However, the shock of discovery killed the instructor. I also attended the University of Chicago and U.S.C. fEdi- tor's Note: Mr. Waidelich is an accomplished pianistlj LEONARD AUSTIN I was born in the now almost extinct village of Los Angeles. It was dur- ing the last century on a day so close to Christmas my parents and all our friends had spent all their money on Christmas presents, so I was the forgotten man, as far as birthday gifts were concerned. My favorite pastime is fishing, which, by the way, is now the pastime of presidents- f'United States Presidents-not Student Body Presidentsj. This is not my fault, however. as anyone is allowed to fish if he pays for a license. Next to fishing, I like apple pie. MISS EVA JONES I was born in Burlington, Vermont, several years ago. I ran away to school between four and five years of age, and was allowed to stay, so I have been studying ever since. It's an ever-widening process. I regret that I wasn't born handsome. I like to work, but I dislike too much of it. My ambition is to have my boys and girls like and learn history, and to have Fridays come soon. The Annual isn't large enough to hold my hobby horse. MRS. HAZELTINE WYVELL I was born in Missouri, and was six years old when I started to school. My first experience in learning how to cook I can't remember. The most comical thing I ever do is just to be natural. I have taught five years in Los Angeles and tive in Missouri. MISS ELIZABETH PARKS I was born in Colorado, grew up, Went to school, became vice-principal, and here I am. MRS. AMY ELDER BULL I had the fortune, or misfortune, whichever you may call it, to be born on the 29th of February on a farm in Kansas. I went to Kansas State College, and have taught in Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, and California. I am the Elder of the faculty. I have two children, and the funny part of it is that they have both had more birthdays than I. MISS HELEN COLLER I was born in South Dakota. My hobby is collecting new cooking recipes. I love to teach school, and I love to travel, but I dislike having the boys in my homeroom wear a beard. MRS. MARJORIE EISCHEN I am a native daughter of our fair state. I have traveled very little outside of California because l've heard so much about California climate and I love the mountains and highway trips here, and mean to know California first. Perhaps the greatest adventures of my life have been adventures of the mind and spirit. Since my school days are over, I am beginning to want an education, most of all, and to realize that it will take a lifetime to obtain it. I 16 I
