(Thf Athenian............ THE FACULTY When we think of our last school years And our plans to make life a success, First in all of our memories Are our teachers of A. C. H. S. First, There’s Miss Drinkwatcr, who for many years has taught “de aht ob grammah to de igermus chillun” of A. C. H. S. She has diligently guided the Juniors through Carlyle’s “Kssay on Burns” and without her help the Seniors would never have been able to wade through Kmmerson’s Essays” and Stevenson’s “Travels with a Donkey.” She is the reason why A. C. H. S. plays, programs and contests were given in such a grand style. Then there’s our old standby, Mr. Augspurger. otherwise known as Happy, because of his cheerful disposition. If there’s an algebra problem to be explained, some mystery of science to be unraveled, or a stunt to be plotted, go to Happy and you’re sure to have it done very successfully. When we attend any A. C. H. S. program or play we are met at the door by Miss Lyons who relieves us of our cash. During school hours she teaches Juniors and Seniors how to write with dashes and dots as fast as one can talk. The bookkeeping students would certainly he in a muddle if they didn’t have Miss Lyon to help them make their books balance. Our Ag Department is still growing and progressing under the excellent instruction of Mr. Henderson. This can easily be seen by the large number of prizes his ag boys always bring home, by the addition of the machine shop, the pruning and spraying done, and by the large incubator which he has had installed. Without Miss Phillip the Freshmen would be sadly lost in regard to English. She also teaches the principles of French and her Public Speaking classes have turned out much of the material that has helped to make A. C. H. S. entertainments what they are. Two new members have been added to our list this year. These are Miss Braucht and Mr. Light. Mr. Light is our instructor in the field of history and civics. If you wish to know anything concerning circles and triangles ask him. he knows! He has helped the Latin class wade through the wars of Caesar. He was very successful in his work with the Glee Clubs which closed their year's work with two Operettas which were classed as excellent. Without Miss Braucht A. C. H. S. would have been very unfortunate. She has been a wonder at teaching the girls the Household Sciences. She has shown wonderful ability as a manager in giving banquets, and such. Her sewing class arc preparing children s dresses which they expect to sell, and her Home Management class has been a real benefit to the girls of A. C. H. S. And so. we. the Class of ’28. hid farewell to you. the Faculty, with the hope that we may all of us show the good results of your teachings and endeavors.
