Here we find two post graduates mingling with two juniors in search for more scientific know¬ ledge. Faculty Members (Continued) Miss Mary Morse is warm-hearted and kind as she administers to the students as school nurse. She hath beauty, charm, grace, and a keen intellect; what more could any damsel ask? Round her neck she wears a yellow ribbon. We mean Miss Garbrick. She perfects, as nearly as possible, the cheerleaders ' skill. She takes a keen delight in riding a bicycle around town. Music hath charms for everyone. That ' s what Miss Koontz says. She is at peace with the world when directing a chorus. She has a ready smile but sometimes becomes disgusted with the way the students sing on Monday morning. No wonder! Coach, like all the other artists, is temper- mental. Without a minutes notice he loses his temper and just as quickly he forgets what he ' s angry about. Like any good coach he is optimis¬ tic. He is never discouraged by a defeat and is always ready with words of encouragement to spur his gallants’ on. Mrs. Faust is a substitute teacher for Miss Brice. She is well liked by all of her students. This apparently sweet and demure person with the black hair and dimples is Miss Brice. She is quiet and dignified and yet a certain something in her manner makes it difficult for us to deter¬ mine whether she is sophisticated or naive. Well my gracious! This is Miss Bell’s favorite expression. This teacher is the small, dainty, extremely feminine type. She likes her work and particularly likes to give big assign¬ ments to little Freshmen. Miss Mary ' s greatest interest seems to be her Senior High Art Class. She takes a very keen delight in training her artists-to-be, in fact she likes boys and girls and is a pal to them. Miss Mary has the respect and admiration of us all. page fourteen

Left to right--Margaret Colwell, Lester Croft, Francis Koont;z, Mary Morris, Winona Garbrick, Ethel Kccntz, John Hubicsak. Faculty Members ( Continued ) Mr. Tritt is a very decided extravert. 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

The Class of 1937 When we want to examine a large oil painting with a view to determining its beauty and perfection, we cannot stand close to it, but must withdraw some distance from the picture. And so it is in judging the class of 1937. We are too close to it to discover or estimate its true quality. We do know that it presented leadership in its president which we believe to be equal to the leadership found in any similar officer anywhere in the country. We further believe that for honest effort to achieve, on the part of several of its members, has not been surpassed by any former graduates. We prophesy that a comparison of the achievement of classes made in years to come, will reveal the Class of 1937 to be high on the scale. Seniors page fitjeen
