Mathematics Donald Coar, A. B. Indiana University University of Wisconsi?i Mr. Coar finds time for school life activities without neglecting his teaching. He put the boys ' second team to the front this year. He so won the hearts of the class of ' 2 9 that this yearbook was dedicated to him. Manual Training Isaac Cosper Tri State College Purdue University Wisconsin University Mr. Cosper always has more ap- plicants for his classes than he can accomodate. Wood-work articles from Mr. Cosper ' s department made credit- able showing at the Commercial Ex- position in the Commercial Club building. Art Lydia Sellers Chicago Art Institute Teachers College, Indianapolis Applied Art School, Chicago Butler University Miss Sellers ' judgment in ques- tions relative to art is infallible. The art work for the Annual is done under her supervision. She includes modern ideas and methods in her teaching. A forte of hers is her ability to induce non-sentimental boys to love art. [20]

The Follies of 102JJ Commercial Clyde M. Gumpp Manchester College Indiana University Drake University Indiana State Normal Mr. Gumpp taught a new subject in his course this year — Business Eng- lish. He coach es students for the Spring Commercial contests. His pre- sence in the morning corridor daily reminds us to keep moving. Science Gladys Brackmier, A. B. Indiana University Columbia University A quiet lady whose class room constitutes her greatest interest. It has been said that timid silence hath more eloquence than speech. This quotation fits her. Freshmen and Sophomores see her most often, as she teaches botany and physical geogra- phy. Robert T. Schooley, A. B., A. M. Indiana State Normal University of Marseilles, Marseilles, France Indiana University Rarely does one find a sense of humor such as Mr. Schooley ' s. In ad- dition he has the proverbial grey matter. He teaches chemistry, phy- sics and plane geometry. After a pupil takes one subject under him he invariably takes another. [19]

The Follies of Physical Education Cecil Young, A. B. DePauw University University of Illinois University of Michigan Boys enjoy their physical train- ing work with Mr. Young rather than feel it compulsory. Coach ' s latest achievement is the health class com- posed of pupils excused from gym for physical disability. Since Mr. Young joined the Auburn faculty, a larger percentage of the boys participate in athletics than ever before. Thelma Burkhead Tri State College Indiana University Indiana State Normal In addition to coaching basket- ball, Miss Burkhead introduced varie- ty into her gymn classes by teaching them clogging, folk dancing, and games. Since physical education is compulsory now, it is fortunate that she does not insist upon the dry da ily dozen. Music Margaret Hixon Indiana University Northwestern University Margaret (as every one calls her) is pep and enthusiasm personified. Every one regards her more as a pal than an instructor. Her music work is characterized with pep and she turn- ed out winning choruses and quar- tets. [21]
