THE MODULUS: Specialists All PLENTY of people are fair, pretty good, or rather semi . But after ali, those are the folks you never hear much about. If you want to be remembered, if you really get good, you ' ll have to specialize!! And just as a little added incentive to your future ambitions, we present these people, who in their respec- tive lives are — Specialists All. Did you say shock us ! Mr. Shock amazes us. We are just won- dering how W. A. Shock does all his work. We know it to be a fact ., , 1 ■ , ■ Supervisors: Kriegbaum. Shock, that his work is seemingly mountain high. But some how or other he gets it done. The warbler of the school, if there ever was one, is Mrs. Branyan. Music is considered an art and one of the highest ones there ever can be. Her work in the coaching of the operetta is a fine type of workmanship. You are doing fine! Just once more! She would not think of discourag- ing us unmusical creatures. Anyone who has just a little bit of talent should go to Miss Alice Jean Gray and let her develop it. She ' ll make it count! Don ' t think she won ' t! Art is an asset to any .student ' s accompli. h- ments, whether big or small, regardless of size and shape. The man we all look- up to is Delmar Weesner! And most especially the mem- bers of the band and orches- tra, whose pet defects he eli- minates to produce That Perfect Harmony which re- sounds over the building from morn ' till night. The busiest man on this side of the earth is Paul Kriegbaum. Ah ! My He really is unusual. He is so large, too, that b can be every place at one time. His every inter est is in his basketball team, and a good one, toe A very second Knute Rockne, don ' t you think Anyway, we think so. Dancing seem to be the hobb; of Miss Alice Mil ler. Really, folks we believe he feet are mounte( on springs o something at an; rate. She ' s com ing to the fron of our gym clas now with — At tention! Girls!! ' secrets, but her Weesner, Gray. Miller, Branyan, Weiford. John Mosher, Robert Cussen. Maybe we are telling it goes. Miss Florence Weiford has a blue win! just like a little bird. In case you don ' t kno just what a blue wink is, we don ' t know whor to give you as a reference. Ask her to show i to you some time in Library. When we have a pain or ache we go to Mrs Elizabeth Sayle, the keepe of the medicines, and she soo: will relieve us of this pe peeve of ours. In regard to truancj how we dodge Mrs. Haze Bechtold ' s appearance is pi c claimed in three little words Don ' t play hookey! Jim Kiser is the hea ' custodian of our school, an he certainly knows the P ' and Q ' s of his job. John Mos her and Robert Cussen ar Jim ' s able assistants. An( they ' re the ones we mus thank for the imaculate ap pearance of our building stage properties, and a hun dred little things! Don ' think we ' re ungrateful! W realize what you do for us!

THE MODULUS IIThisjVocational Business T HERE is much discussion given in these ' modern days to what may be termed this ocational business. But no correct understand- ng may be had of what it is all about in this ;entury without knowing what the world has 3een doing in preceding milleniums. So we in- :]ude with the Vocational group those who teach IS History and prepare us to begin where the .vorld has left off. Ever a heart has George Eberhart! ' ft His History and Commercial feachers (at right) : Day. iberhart. Bucher. Al- vood, Easter, Tyner, rhraiiki Tyner. In case your memory is not on the job, one of the sayings of Miss Tyner goes, Please quote your authority. ' ' Some of us think we really can give some pretty good reports in Miss Nellie Thrailkill ' s classes when we sally forth from our seats to the front of the room to make our reputations. In case you don ' t know what she teaches, it ' s Civics and Economics. Clum Bucher is the guy who can teach His- tory most effectively wearing black and white shoes. And get a kick out of this if you can, he also coaches football and the all famous Scyldings. Day cannot become night, but apparently McCabe Day can make it become night. Mr. Day changed day into night, for time could not be found during the produc- tion of the Revue except during the night time. He also lends light to the dark ages of history. Vocational Teach- ers (at left): Brown, Eechtold. Michael, Brown. Sayle, A. Kline, IWanoney, E, Kline eal ambition is to become a bigger and better )ook-keeper and to let people go out of his classes n order to secure positions in the mint and treas- iry of the United States. That keyboard will just have to be memor- zed before very long, claims Miss Beatrice Eas- er, the resurrection and the light of fast typing, s we hear the patter of her feet on the floor, ve nearly strangle ourselves trying to swallow ;um or get rid of it some other miraculous way. Three cheers for the Senior sponsor. Miss Al- vood I ! She has the administration of Short- land and Latin, that extremely dead language, lut acquaintance proves it has not deadened her. besides, she guides the class of ' 31 through the rying conflicts of Junior and Senior experiences. Running along Miss Martha Tyner ' s line is listory, a subject that never grows old. You lave to be up on your toes to keep up with Miss Smiling and with a personality that is inviting you to like him, Fred Mahoney teaches the boys machine work. He cannot be beaten in the teaching of this parti- cular course. Fellows, you don ' t know what you ' re missing if you ' re not taking this splendid course under Mr. Mahoney. Another artist in his owoi trade is Hugh Brown. Woodwork is the thing for boys who have a natural tendency for carpentry. Here is a chance to give your best girl friend a gift that she would cherish, boys. Who can that be with that raccoon coat so proudly wrapped around her shoulders? It surely is not a puzzle. It is the prim little Miss Geraldine Brown in person. She is in the racket of now, not reporting, but sewing. She had the reputation of making the beautiful blue curtain for the operetta. Am I right? I think so. (Continued on Page ThirtyTwo December, 1930 Page Five

THE MODULUS Grown-Up Freshmen Senior Officers: Guest. Dick. Alwood, Kindler. Bernnger ■ ITH an intent desire in their noble little tV hearts to set the world on fire this last year f theirs in High School, before they are thrown pon the cruel hardships of the world, the noble nd praiseworthy Class of ' 31 assembled on Tues- ay, September 16, for the purpose of selecting lose most honor- i and select few ito whose hands ley would place le custody of leir ship of tate. T h o D e ■hom they final- ' deemed worthy f the honor were jhn Berringer 3 P r e s i d e n t, red Dick as ice President ' reeman Guest 3 Secretary, Colette Kindler as Treasurer, and [iss Alwood as a tried and tested Sponsor- In order to further this far and spectac- !ar goal of theirs, John and Miss Alwood found necessary to divide this ambitious group of leirs into some committees. The result of their Torts is as follows : Dramatic Committee : Dea Michaels, chair- lan; Helen Sparks, Paul Cozad, Donald Snider, ad Arthur Solloway. Finance Committee : Fred Dick, chairman ; ssa Hamilton, Georgiana Redrup, and Jack Nye. Color and Flower Committee : Consuella iisenhauer, chairman ; Rose Blockson, and Mary lumb. Motto Committee : Miriam Dumbauld, chair- ian; Maxine Ade, and Helen Jane Cook. Social Committee : Wilda Mae Lucas, chair- lan ; Louis Lichtsinn, Miriam Kiracofe, Free- lan Guest, and Helen Weber. Invitation Committee: Mary Ellen Willis, lairman ; Bernice Hippensteel, and Max Rudicel. Of course to be in style with all other good enior classes they selected some colors, and they appen to be orchid and gold to harmonize with ne flowers of sunburnt roses and sweet peas. Lnd the motto that will haunt them the rest of their days is: Life is not iust to live, but to live well. Also in order to have an especially good time they treated themselves to a real for sure Hal- lowe ' en party! And what a party! Pumpkins and everything!! The customary colors of orange and black pre- V a i le d i n t b e gym! Ghost walk ! ! Eats!! Games ! ! Every- thing! But please do not think, gen- tle reader, that the efforts of this class are dedicat- ed only for their own enjoyment ! For this is not the case ! Far from it! And so just to show their loyalty to iheir school they presented a three-by-eighteen foot red and black felt banner bearing the cheer- ing words, Yea Vikings, Fight, and the small numbers, 31. Anyone w ' ho would chance to look over the many activities of Alma Mater would find the names of those same distinguished Seniors there. They are in football, basketball, baseball, and de- bate, and still others distinguish themselves in the Hi-Y and Sunshine. And of course they also claim some of the most successful numbers on the Bars and Stripes Revue to their credit. But it has been said that all good things must come to an end and so must the reign of this class come to a close after commencement. (At least we hope they ' ll make the grade. ) So far we are proud to say they are doing fine. Maybe we ' ve made you feel that this Senior class is a bunch of little angels. Much as we would love to leave such a pleasing impression, duty and conscience begs us add that there are a few little devils among them. And if you don ' t believe it just ask any of the faculty or anyone who attended that famous Senior Hallowe ' en party ! ! ecember, 19S0 Page Seven
