1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 Glhararteriztirzi nf Zlearherz H. A. Bone-- 'Ha,' Soup. It would be foolish to attempt to state in such a small space the many things which Mr. Bone has done for our school. But the Senior class greatly appreciates the interest he has shown in it, and his untiring efforts to make a success of all its undertakings. A. A. Rea- Alonzo. Although Mr. Rea has only been our principal for one year, the popu- larity he has gained in high school is remarkable. Great benefit has been derived from his work during the year. His attitude towards the students shows that he remembers that he was once a boy. Mary Louise Burke- Pip, Mother. For the past three years Miss Burke has taught in our school. Al- though considerable of her time has been spent in teaching drawing in the grades, yet we feel that the share devoted to us is well worth mentioning. In spite of her general quiet attitude she has distinguished herself by giv- ing several interesting talks in general assembly. P. E. Winchell- Pinchy. The boys as a rule become better acquainted with Mr. Winchell than the girls on account of his teaching manual training. But the girls who do not know him have missed a rare treat. The Senior class owes much of the success of A Day in High School, to his untiring efforts. Esther Lind- Blue Eyes. Our class owes a great deal to Miss Lind's ability in the teaching of public speaking and especially to her help with A Day in High School. Although quiet and bashful she has a keen sense of humor and can appre- ciate a good joke. Ethel Merrifield- Jingle Bells. In February of 1915, when the first half-year class entered high school, Miss Merrifield became a member of the faculty. Ever since then she has been prominent in all school doings Her jovial manner and Hail, fel- low, well met air have earned her a place in the heart of every student. Elizabeth Rowe- Betty. Probably the Domestic Science Department is the most popular de- partment in High School, both as a place of instruction and a place for hungry students to get hand-outs -perhaps! I ! ! ! And surely Miss Rowe has done much toward advancing this department. Her success with E171

1916 BEE AITCH ICSS 1916 the Community Banquet and the opening of the Cafeteria, a thing never before undertaken here, is remarkable. Truly the saying, Young in years but old in knowledge, might well be applied in her case. J. K. Fancher- Kenneth.,' During the one short year that he has spent in Batavia, no one in school has failed to recognize the work Mr. Fancher has done for the ath- letic side of school life, as well as his regular teaching. The success of the football and basket ball teams was largely due to his efforts. Then, too, almost everyone recollects either the good times we had in Physics Lab or on field trips. All agree that Mr. Fancher deserves all the credit he gets and probably a great deal more. Clara Drath- Clara.', Although Miss Drath has only been with us for one year, she has won popularity through her loyaltly to Batavia High School. She has been good-natured, in school and out, and always ready with a humorous story or joke. We owe her credit for the interest she has taken in the German classes by the organization of the German Club. Mr. Morton- Sparrow, In spite of the fact that Mr. Morton is such a quiet man, he has faith- fully done his work and treated everyone with respect. The interest and aid which he gave to the thi1'd and fourth basket ball teams, has been duly appreciated by the players and the school as a whole. Miss Woodruff- Lou. Miss Woodruff has devoted a good share of her time to the teaching of music in Batavia High School, this past year. She has willingly gone about her work and has proved an able instructor. We all appreciate the interest which she has taken in her teaching, especially the members of Glee Club and Cecelian Chorus. Miss Marshall- Marg. Miss Marshall's unfailing inte1'est in her studies has gained the re- spect and friendship of the pupils. She has always been good-natured and willing to give aid when necessary. Much thanks is due Miss Marshall for her untiring efforts, in the business course, this year. Miss Mored- Jean. The girls of B. H. S. owe much to Miss Mored's ability as a physical director. Her efforts to make her work a success surely were rewarded, for she turned out some excellent basket ball teams from among the girls, and especially the lower classmen. The interest she has taken in each in- dividual is greatly appreciated. Her patience was sorely tried in many cases but Miss Mored, as a rule, has a good control of her temper. U81
