1. Mrs. Wilson . . . that pert, ever-smiling lady used every method . . . books, blackboard, illustrations, and clear-cut explanations . . . to teach us the functions of a confusing hyperbole. 2. Mrs. Vaughn . . . with her sweet understanding and clear and lots of talking she left the tree of grammar implanted firmly on our minds. 3. Miss Sheckles . . . a newcomer to Austin Hi . . . lived up to her friendly, helpful smile in every way . . . as interested in our pleasures and problems as her biological specimens and charts. 4. Mr. Starnator . . . a spirit of informality prevailed in our classes of auto-mechanics with that personal friend as our teacher . . . his vocation was his avocation because he built midget cars in his spare time. 5. Miss Boysen Z . . 'Am I interrupting someone? ended our private conversations and brought our minds back to the intricate subject of biological science with its artistry of dissecting preserved white ratsf, id ,k.,. i5?fia?f 3 . fi 'V E5 :- Nx X , . 5x5 i r ew fx 61 1 , . if I ,

They were severely criticized for many little things that in other people would have passed by unmen- tioned . . l. Mr. Lambert . . - rule-enforcing coach who lived football . . . his Maroon teams thought the best of him even though they really felt each afternoon's work-out. 2. Mrs. Boon . . . beautiful brown, friendly eyes, soft grey hair welcomed us to the sanctuary of gruesome skeletons and embalmed frog legs . . . 'Now, if you urchins will get quiet' . . . and so continued another interesting period of microscopic study of protozoa. 3. Mrs. Massie . . . sailed through the library strew- ing green cards in her wake to troublesome students . . . this dignified lady readily helped us choose the road to the storied classics. 4. Miss Culley . . . 'If I've told you this before stop me,' was the introduction to an up-to-date joke illus- trating ancient history . . . cartoons and sports pictures cluttered up the bulletin board, but made it more inter- esting. 5. Miss Dickard . . . her love for math and people made each hour seem only a few minutes . . . her way of teaching math accomplished the impossible . . . making even us enthusiastic about math, too.

Q su , NNN 1. Mrs. Weisser . . . kept us in stitches while we gasped for a breath of fresh air . . . often heard - 'Are there any questions-foolish or otherwise?' . . . with sighs and sarcasm she tried hard to beat Chemistry in 'you little kids' heads. 2. Miss Bagley . . . 'A chip on the shoulder indicates a block of wood above' . . . in place of wood she had pretty auburn curls and mathematical brains . . . neat as a pin from head to foot. 3. Miss Farley . . . 'Do you have conscientious scruples against using correct grammar? . . . oft-heard phrase in room A3 . . . a fanatic in the field of delinioscopy . . . brought interest to her class on a plate of glass - slides, that is. 4.
