THE CURRICULUM 27 Miss DORIS COLEMAN, the first-and very popular, too-exchange teacher ever at West High School, was born in Buxted, England. She -attended high school in that historical city, St. Albans, rich in traditions, which was named after the Norman Cathedral begun in 1076 on the site of the an- cient Roman villa, Verulamin, and dedicated to St. Al- bans. She received her B.A. degree at the U. R. A., Uni- versity of London, then later she took S a teachers training g course at Oxford. She majored in modern languages. Prior to her ex- change, Miss Col- man taught at Altrincham High School in Cheshire, a school composed entirely of girls. Miss Vera Thompson of West High is now filling Miss Coleman's position there. Chief among the characteristics of Miss Coleman are joviality and the spirit of ad- venture, both greatly influenced by the quest for knowledge. In Europe, Miss Coleman has traveled much, and her walking tours in Germany with stops at the Youth Hostels, her trip to Oberammagau with her light- weight tent on her back, her mountain ex- periences in the Alps, and her canoeing through the land of the beautiful blue Danube have been a source of much inter- est to the pupils of West High. MISS DORIS COLEMAN -' Now she has purchased a car, and at every opportunity she takes a jolly interesting trip through the surrounding country, into New Mexico where for the first time she has seen Indians. She has visited the pueb- los and reservations, and watched the tribal and religious dancesi of the native Americans. On her return to her home- land she expects to go by the way of California and the ' Panama canal, stop- ping at New Or- leans to see the ne- gro in his regular southern home. Among the little things that the stu- dents have learned from Miss Coleman are the varieties in colloquialisms. It was noted that the English slang- ster compared quite favorably with the American word-wrestler, and to facilitate relations the following phrases are interpreted: , English American To flunk Hood of automobile Pull a boner Gum the works Plow under Bonnet Drop a brick Pull a bloomer To Miss Coleman we, the students of West High School, offer our felicitations for a future quite as cheerful as is Miss Doris Colman herself. a Cheerio! Pleasant voyage-come again.

If you Cowboys wish not your name in print, walk-walk carefully goth. so carefullyj along the straight path of conservatism, one slip, and all is lost. Bribery or threats but intensify the doom. The Rodeo must be served! Re- porters are everywhere, snooping, spying, never ceasing in their Search for gossip and news. This publication is directed by'Miss Lo- rena Hocking, and news is collected by cub reporters. These news-hounds are students, pupils interested in journalism. The staff is made up of those in the group who have shown exceptionally g o o d work. i The Rodeo is put out fsometimes the editor, tooj not only to bare to the world the school's heart-breakers, sinners, and lovers, but to disseminate to the student body information, news, and enjoyment. One of the big events of i the year is the annual party given by the Press Club, it brings together all alumni who have served on the staff and on the Annual Boards as well as all our former heroes of athletic wars. This dance is equivalent to a mid-year NVest re- union, so many of the old grads return to cell of unpunished pranks.
