FACULTY Gladys Borchers She well deserves her trip to Europe after trying to make XVisconsin High students better speechmakers. Under her supervision we study everything from pantomines to declamations. . Fred Buerki All the world's a stage, and XYisconsin High students actors upon it. Under the able direction of Mr. Buerki they do right well. May our best wishes be with you while you are in New York, Mr. Buerki. Margaret Clark Art appreciation in XVisconsin High has been furthered by the efforts of Miss Clark. She is also responsible for the exhibits which cover the walls of the art room and bulletin board. Bernice Cooper Shouts of triumph and defeat, ring out from the upper gym where Miss Cooper holds forth with her giggling female basketball players. Dancing, tumbling, tennis and many other sports are her specialties. Margaret Cushman The unruly students in the study hall caused her many a headache, but patience and steady persistence finally have put her on top. Ira Davis Science makes the world go around. Or is it our heads? If anyone can straighten us out it's Mr. Davis, master of physics and chemistry. James Davis Coming from Kansas at the beginning of the semester he stepped into a dual role. He took over both Miss Borchher's and Mr. Buerki's jobs. Congratulations, on a fine piece of work. Ronald Edgerton From him we learn to read behind the news. His explanations of foreign and national affairs are based on facts which he finds, faces, filters and follows. Beatrice Forge The ruling faction of our XVisconsin High office. XVhen eleven different students ask her thirteen different questions she manages to answer them with imperturbable calm. Calla Guyles She renders us her Caeser in true Roman style. Qne reason why there are so many Latin students in XVisconsin High. Ruth Henderson The delicious aromas which occasionally emerge from the cooking room and entice inquisitive passersby are the work of Miss Henderson and her cooking crew who master everything from pickles to souflees. Laura Johnson She drags hesitant ne-pas's from her pupils with vigorous French ges- tures. Her singing and piano playing make Friday morning French programs doubly interesting. Jean Hoard She serves us linglish grammar garnished with sprightly good humor. VVith Miss Hoard and Good Companions for company, every junior class of lYisconsin High visits England. Ruth Johnson To her students the past is an open book and historical dates are more than boring numbers. She is not only a history teacher but also an adviser of this year's Senior class. Vincent Kivlin Our teacher of Plant Culture. He also teaches at the School of Agriculture where students must take a great liking to him, for despite the fact that he has a good sized class at XVisconsin High, there are actually twice as many practice teachers as high school students. Clyde Knapp Our remarkable feats in football last fall were reward for the efforts of our coach. His ideals of sportsmanship are passed on to his players.

GORDON N. BLXCIQENZIE One year ago Professor Gordon N. MacKenzie became the principal of Wlisconsin High School. He was a new man in an old school and we welcomed him-and wondered what he would be like. Today, Mr. MacKenzie is a necessary part of our school, a man who has shown us new possibilities, broadened our outlook, strengthened our spirit, a man whom we can like and trust and with Whom lVis- consin High School can eoniidently look ahead to the future.
