IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII THE FACULTY V E. H. '11 OR a year and a day do high school students bask in the glow of the beloved Faculty's wisdom and rest serenely under the sway of its gentle hand. They grow from smart Freshmen to august Seniors under its kind, liifigmi-715155 unerring guidance as the vessel rises on the potter's wheel. From the faculty mechanism of the high school are turned out diplomats and artisans to be, upon flowery beds of ease and with garlands of praise and sunilowers. Under the tender, easy rule of the faculty are formed many manly and womanly characters that savor the entire community, fblessed be thegfacultyj but great is the chagrin of its members when they find one of these noble students deviating from the narrow way of conservatively adhering to text books, during school hours, and wandering into the for- bidden realms of dreamland. Few and far distanced are the rules of the faculty. Calm and peaceful is the countenance of each one of this group of our guiding stars, for their troubles are light and of short duration. There is a great diversity of character among the faculty mem- bers despite the fact that they are so much alike. The difference is in both the inherent and educated make-ups. There is Ger- man, Irish, English, Scotch and French blood in the faculty's veins. Some are college educated and some are otherwise educated. But each is a professional in his or her particular line. Some have more than one special line, and some have string attachments. This string attachment is quite beyond the comprehension of the average high school mind. Mr. Mickey had one once, he still has it, he is married now. Why should a teacher attempt to flirt with anyone but a Freshie? Our teachers never do. 'None but Miss Moore and Miss Wilcox- son are so inclined. Miss Loomis and Miss Harlan are too old maidish to smile at any one. But the Misses Moore and Wilcoxson are sure to enjoy themselves. If their fun derived from attending faculty parties and taking auto spins with a gentleman friend is not sufficient, they sometimes pass as members of a show troupe. Mr. Loop and Mr. Swift are strikingly alike in many respects.
