Pictures Capture Students and Teachers in Action During the course of the year a snoop- ing camera caught members of the faculty deep in the teaching of their classes. Those pictured here are described in a left to right sequence. Here is one of Miss Olie Welty ' s Latin classes deep in a study of Gaul ' s three parts. Constituting a cultural course, Latin may be had for two, three, or four years. The classes are made interesting by the actual living of the subject. Scrapbooks, projects, and field trips add immeasurably to the understand- ing of the students. — Except for the indus- trious clatter of keys, this picture depicts realistically the scene enacted each day in Miss Hudson ' s many typewriting classes. A practical course, typewriting and its comple- ment, shorthand, are immensely popular. Miss Hudson ' s greatest worry is her lack of typewriters. — Custodian of guinea pigs, gar- ter snakes, frogs, and turtles, Mr. Kendall also finds time to teach his biology and health education classes. Biology, a class of which is here shown in action, has grown rapidly in popularity in the last year, necessitating the forming of three different groups of stu- dents. — Dominating the lower regions of the school with his basso ' profundo voice is Mr. Burton Conkling, vocalist, dramatist, and orator, seen here in a characteristic pose. The dramatics classes, one of which is seen below, are responsible for the plays given during the assembly periods and lend their talent to the production of the Christmas Pageant. — Miss SlEB, admirer and modern propagandist of William Shakespeare and his works, makes her classes models of in- terest and attention. It is questionable which is the greatest attraction, the work of the masters or Miss Sieb ' s sparkling wit. The camera seems to have caught a class in a solemn moment. Twelv
