ACADEMIC TEACHERS If you hear someone split an infinitive, you can be sure he wasn't a student in Miss Marion Myr- viclc's, Mrs. Hazel Alfons', or Otis Peterson's English class. The English program is supplemented by journalism and speech. If you smell formaldehyde or some chemicals in the halls, either Robert Hanlon's biology class has been dissecting or Paul Gilles' physics or chemistry class has completed an experiment. Anyone trying to find the sixteenth root of 2.123 evidently is a member of Miss Harriet Cossentine's higher algebra class. She also teaches elementary algebra, math, and geometry. Singing the Star Spangled Banner ordinarily wouldn't be taught in history, but that is one of the things done in Howard Buska's American History classs. World History is taught by Leon Brockmeyer; social science and economic geography by Junior Skoglund.
