By means of a disarming manner, occa- sional reproach and mild persuasion, she enables Seniors to face June Regents with warranted confidence. Mus. A. PHILLIPS Those who study Spanish have a good time in addition to learning that romantic language. This is attributable to Mrs. Phillips whose striking personality dom- inates her classes. Occasionally, though, even Seiora's patience is sorely tried and students must toe the mark. Mn. J. CMAvI.o Mr. Cmaylo, who divides his time be- tween freshman English and assisting with the coaching duties of the football squad, has lost two things during this school year, his state of bachelorhood-and his appen- dix. The frosh', girls didn't mind the latter loss but not so the former. LIISS H. Hass To most students third year English marks a milestone in their high school career. Much of this is due to Miss Hass who introduces them to the mysteries and delights of essay, poetry, and the theater. Many carry away fond memories of mo- ments spent in Miss Hass' classes. Miss A. Gmswonn To the uninitiated, Miss Griswold seems E101 Cllfuky strict on the surface but these soon find out their mistake for Miss Griswold has a natural sense of humor which crops up at the most unexpected moments. Then, too, each student goes his way instilled with at least a few of the high ideals which Miss Griswold sets for her students and herself. Mas. E. KIELTY Mrs. Kielty has a talent for mixing humor, patience, music, current events, and art with her Caesar, Cicero and Virgil. To those whose taste leans toward Latin, Mrs. Kielty provides an interesting and stimu- lating course which makes Latin, the dead language, live once more, if only for 4-5 minutes each day. RIISS H. SCHNEIDER Miss Schneider, though strict at times, has a certain way about her that seems to attract the Freshmen, even to such subjects as Latin and algebra. We think her secret is a smile and a helping hand to those who do their best. MR. D. MCSWEENEY Mr. McSweeney, in addition to coaching the basketball squad and turning out one championship team after another, has charge of the boys' physical education de- partment. Mac's ability to win the friendship of his boys combined with his spirit of fair play have won for him the utmost admiration of all.

MR. Il. O'rls Mr. Otis often digs into his vast store of travel tales and general wandcrings and comes up with a story that supplants any thought of Civics or Economic Citizenf ship. Mr. Otis is also credited with put- ting the General in General ltlotors. Mus. I . T. BIEADE Though this is only her first year at YVoodmere, already Mrs. Meade has an enviable record. Her skillful direction of both the Junior and Senior plays contrib- uted a great deal towards their success. Mrs. Meade teaches English, Public Speak- ing and Dramatic Arts. MR. V. BALTZELL Due to the conscientious efforts of Mr. Baltzell, YVoodmere has been turning out a fine crop of students versed not only in the fields of Chemistry and Physics but also in the gentle art of telling jokes, in all three of which Mr. Baltzell excels. Vic is also the coach of WV.H.S.'s up- and-coming football team. Miss C. EIJERER Miss Ederer instructs her students in business but is more frequently recognized in the senior study hall where her eyes travel up and down the rows like a scythe mowing grain. VVoe to the erring student! However, those who take time to really get acquainted with Miss Ederer find hcr a genuinely friendly person. MR. T. fiIl.MAR'l'IN Mr. Gilmartin is one of those all round good sports liked by all with whom he comes in contact. A fine sense of humor helps many a student through the more tedious phases of General Science. This handsome gentleman also ably assists the Freshman basketball team. MR. Ii. ItAD'rRE The things Mr. Radtke has done for the music department are indeed commenda- ble. Out of nothing, he has created a fine band that has contributed greatly to the cultural education of the students. Miss D. HAltT Miss Lady Janei' Hart, our own Rem- brandt, has instituted into W'0odmere that which is often called the finer side of life. Due to her hard work a Hue proportion of budding artists is turned out each year. Miss E. PIERCE A newcomer to our midst is Miss Pierce who has come in order to handle the im- petus of new Spanish students. Already, Miss Pierce has proven her mettle. MRs. G. TERRY Another teacher to join the faculty but recently is Mrs. Terry who is instructor of Senior English. Mrs. Terry's evident capabilities have made her a valuable member of the faculty. Miss K. CiRAI-IAM Our memory of Miss Graham is twofold for we enjoyed her riotous English classes in both Freshman and Senior years. Her cynical smile and quick humor serve only to impress further her teachings on our eager minds. tlll
