“Howdy, old man.” When you hear that expression, Mr. Sproul is near. He is what the “fair sex’’ calls tall, blond, and handsome. He keeps saying that the longest way home is the sweetest. We don ' t know ' why but evidently there is a reason. Mr. Townsend has a smile for everyone. His boyish drawl is admired by all students. The future farmers are his idol. He just wouldn ' t give them a frown or scowl. Cheerful teachers live long in the hearts of the • students. That very quiet, matter-of-fact man is Mr. Wise. He is rather emotional and therefore quick to anger. And when he loses his temper-! But don ' t let that worry you, little ones, he ' s so good natured other times that we know ' he doesn ' t mean a w ' ord of it. Mr. Sheelys sense of humor is unsurpassable. He always sees the funny side of life and laughs about it. You can t help liking a teacher who laughs you into a good humor. And too, he ' s one of those very sensible and prac¬ tical people, who believes that forty miles an hour is fast enough to drive a car. Tall, dark and sophisticated, this is Miss Litzinger. She has that non¬ chalant unconcerned manner which makes her very attractive. She likes sports, cards and cats and has a marvelous sense of humor which she tries in vain to hide from the students. Miss Harned seems to have a mystical power when it comes to arousing enthusiasm among the students. Maybe its because she loves to win and enjoys seeing her beloved eighth graders come out on top. And perhaps this is the reason she is so persistent about those budding geniuses getting their night w ' ork.

Haga Principal of Senior High School Mr. Haga can make us believe the moon is in¬ habited with giants. Not that he kids us along,— oh, my no! He ' s just one of those people who has an unusual power of persuasion.

He loves to talk and what he says is usually worth listening to. He ' s a very nervous type of individual and therefore cannot stand much noise. For this reason he has gotten into the very bad habit of saying get into your place and be quiet! Miss Border is the type of person that can t see the funny side of any¬ thing when she has a lot of work to do. When she isn ' t busy, she sees a joke in most anything. She manages the stencil cutting and many other duties of the commercial department. Miss Russell keeps order in the library. She is always pleasant and ready to give helpful advice. But, of course she expects you to cooperate. She enjoys cards, dancing and anything to help others have a good time. When Miss Baker left, Old man gloom, it seemed was going to make our school his permanent rooming house, but forth came Miss Colwell and chased that old rascal right out the door! Only an extremely pleasant and unusual person could take Miss Baker ' s place in our hearts, and Miss Colwell is coming through with flying colors—good luck Margie ! Mr. Croft is the small but mighty director of the Band. When you hear the band you will agree that he is mighty. He always has a cheerful word of greeting. He is very much interested in moving picture machines. One of Mr. Koontzs distinctions is his extreme blondness. His fair locks and blue eyes are the object of envy among the fair lassies. In his high school days he was a football hero, and in college, wrestling was his speciality. We like Mr. Koontz—always have—in fact everyone does. page thirteen
