CTIVI-l J ation MISS BLANCHE M. KERN, Vice Principal Among the memories of the senior class of '44 will remain the ever impressing personality of Blanche M. Kern, vice principal of West Senior High School. Born and reared in Columbus, Ohio, Miss Kern attended Columbus East High School, and graduated from Ohio State University with two degrees CB. A. and B. Sc.D in Education. Miss Kern majored in Latin and received her minor in French. While attending college Miss Kern was active in Browning, a literary dramatic society, and was a member of the girls' basketball team for a period of four years. In St. Louis, Missouri, she started her teaching career in a Cirls' School and after classes she did postgraduate work in the Washington University. She was appointed to the faculty staff of VVest Senior High School in 1917. Before coming to West, Miss Kern taught for five months physical education, instructor of both boys and girls of the eighth and ninth gradesg and ofliciated at the school basketball games. In 1925, she was appointed vice principal of West Senior High. Miss Kern has held her present position as vice principal for 19 years and has been a member of West's faculty for twenty-seven years. During her leisure hours Miss Kern can be found in her spacious yard among her flowers and garden. Planting unusual flowers is a favorite pastime for Miss Kern when she isn't knitting, weaving, rug-making, enjoying musical art, or keep' ing house. A hobby that interests Miss Kern is traveling, before the shortage of gasoline. She has seen almost everything of interest in Ohio, a goodly part of the United Stati, especially the western portion, and highlighting this hobby was a trip to Alas a. For amusement Miss Kern takes great delight in translating Virgil into metrical verse, and also in writing genial letters to members of the family at holiday time in the metrical verse to relate the news in jingle form. Miss Kern also has kept a diary in metrical verse. The class of '44, as they wind their way through life, will uphold and emulate the Christian qualities so often impressed upon it by the able counsel and advice of Miss Blanche M. Kern, vice principal of West High School. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Seven
