LEADING VGUTI-I GF TODAY The students this year have been unusually fortunate in having as instructors one of the finest faculties of any school of this size. Several additions and replacements were made to bring the staff to its full number. Each teacher is capable not only of teaching one or more subjects but also is called upon to assume the responsibility of some extra-curricular burden. Let's start at the top of the school and try to find out just what these teachers are getting paid for. To begin with, in Senior Study we find NIR. JOHN ALLISON, whom the students affectionately call Little Napoleon. He teaches United States History and Civics. However, he also serves as the sponsor of the Senior class, which is a job in itself. bliss ETH EI. KEENEY, the other Senior homeroom teacher has sev- eral classes in Public Speaking and sophomore English. In addition to these she is the sponsor of the lUasquer's Club. A fine actress herself, lN'Iiss Keeney interests the stu- dents in dramatics and the successful results are already well-known. NIR. lk IEI,VIN VVORST, the Junior class sponsor, is also the faculty manager of ath- letics and consequently is a member of the Athletic Council. He teaches hlathematics and Plane Geometry. NIISS ADAH PORTER has a number of classes in freshman and sophomore English. Also on her shoulders rests the job of faculty adviser of the FOCUS, which she fulfills very well, and she has charge of the annual spelling con- test held here. lN'IR. HORACE PELTON, the head of the Social Science department, teaches VVorld History and the Senior subject, Problems in American Democracy. He is the tenth grade sponsor and directs all of their activities, and is the coach of the debate team. The commercial courses are under the care and supervision of NIR. G. RAY DUN- SEITH. He is also the sponsor of that exclusive For-lN'Ien-Only organization, the Hi-Y. In addition to teaching Health and Elementary Science, NIR, JOHN lx'IL'CKI.O has charge of the Physical Education classes. He is the man who coached Berea,s football teams to two championships within five years. lN'IIss HELEN ROBISON collaborates with lVIr. Dunseith in teaching the numerous commercial subjects. Outside of her classes she is the Friendship Club sponsor. To IWR. xVII.l3L'R SWARTZ, who teaches Physics and llathematics, falls one of the most difficult and important tasks of all. He is the sponsor of Stunt Night and it is up to him to make all the arrangements for this night of nights. The success of many enterprises depends upon lX'IIss LADYBIRD SIPE, who takes care of the business and advertising ends of plays and the like. She teaches lbI2ltllC1l12lflCS and is the sponsor of ninth grade. Under her expert supervision the freshmen have captured first place in Stunt Night for two successive years. NIR. FRANK LOWRY is in charge of the Chemistry department and also teaches General Science. It was only through his efforts that the Science Club was founded and at the present time it is the largest organization of its type in the school. This is NIISS NOVA DENNIS, first year here but already she has become well-liked by the students. She teaches General Science and Biology and presents them in a very interesting manner. bliss JEANNETTE SKIDNTORE possesses a fine classical background and is well fitted to teach Latin and English. She is also the sponsor of the junior Girl Reserves. It is the task of DIR. ADULPH STUDEBAKER to change the Industrial Arts students of today into the car- penters of tomorrow. lNIR. GEORGE YV. DUNN is a very efficient instructor of junior high English and Social Science. He is the faculty adviser of the Berean which entails no end of work. Besides teaching Social Science and Physical Education, NIR. KENNETH NOBLE holds v-iq 1 TT C. page ten

down the position of athletic coach. This year he piloted the basketball team to thir- teen victories in sixteen games. RIR. U.-xI,E XVILSON teaches the Romance languages and it is said that not a little romance comes from his classes. IXIISS AANNE PODRACKY teaches Home Economics and lfnglish and is co-sponsor of the Home lic. Club with RIISS RUTH AICFADDEN. 'lihe latter teaches the majority of the Home lic. classes. Bliss EI.1z,u:ETH DYE, in her first year as girls' Physical lid. teacher, has won the respect of her students. She was instrumental in organizing the Leaders' Club. RIR. R.'xl,l'H HILTY has several music classes but his greatest work is done with the band, chorus, and orchestra. Their continued excellent showings have earned lllr. Hilty much renown. KIISS IJOROTHY KNOX is the head of the Art department and is responsible for the posters which advertise school functions. Our modern, up-to-date library is kept that way by Bliss JXNNE XVEIIJMANN, our librarian. She is the sponsor of the Library Guild and helps students become interested in reading. Last but l10t least we come to the office staff. The duties of these administrators are too many to consider here but it is well known that the mechanism of the school is disrupted when even one of them is absent. No end of credit and gratitude goes to RIR. KOEPPE, IXIR. Ckwlms, Bliss IJAVIES, and to their pleasant and efficient secre- tary, Miss Rmfirsxv. Here we have very briefly summarized the responsibilities of our faculty and have tried to point out what an important part they play, both in the classroom and out.
