Mr. Dunn takes time from his busy schedule to attend the Lord Bourte- tourt game. Math was a mystical confrontation to the majority of students here at A.C.H.S. Intangible objects, such as lines, planes, spheres, and tangents, remained, in the students’ minds, a mystery.

In most cases, their patience and understanding was rewarded at the end of the year when their charges finally passed the course, and moved on to bigger and better things. Mr. Lombardo cracks one final joke as he leaves the Men ' s Teacher ' s Lounge. Miss Conner smiles sympathetically at the despair of one of her more brilliant students.

The library had available a good stock of magazines, books, and other informative items. If students had tried hard enough, they could have found enough information to have done an excellent paper. Miss Wolfe lends a helping hand to a student who doesn ' t know how to use the card catalogue. Miss Peters takes a break from the busy routine of the day. i I Mrs, Stinnett ' s daily routine in- cludes typing for Miss Smith and the library.
