Agnew Baughman Cleeves Frysinger Hay Hoffman Kerin Lloyd Long Maier Zoner Strange as it may seem, we End our workaday world equally interesting with our play time P perhaps even more so, and of course we feel duly grateful to our teachers who so skillfully direct us toward enjoyment of both work and play. Four is evidently the magic number in our Social Studies Department whether it be Miss Long asking for the four factors of production, Mr. Lloyd asking the four causes of the Wor d War, or Mr. Hoffman demanding the four ages in man' economic development. In the seventh and eighth grad Miss Meyers asks the whereabouts of the United es while Miss Walker holds forth upon the history of r country. The revision of the English department last year has done uch to arouse more interest in reading among the stu- dents. The new arrangement shows signs of success, for Miss Maier, the librarian, reports that more books are be- ing borrowed from the library than ever before. Miss Miles leads dignified seniors through a maze of lyric poetry, drama, novels, and composition. Miss Sipe teaches narrative poetry, the essay, and the short story. Miss Snyder introduces sopho- mores to each ofthe various types of literature. Miss Stoker fContinucd on next page! Here is the man to whom the more intimate and individual problems of the day are brought Mr. William E. Griffith, principal of our school Despite the wide scope of his activities Mr. Grif nth still finds time to teach a few classes and adds to his subjects many famous wise-cracks. I-I brings to each problem a combination of wit and psychology. WILl.lAM E. GRIFFITH, Ph.B.

A pleasing contrast to the din of the corridors is the dignity and order of the sanctum of our school superintendent, Dr. Homer W. Hay. His duties are by no means confined to the narrow limits of his office. He rushes here and there, safe' guarding the welfare of his charges. Never is Dr. Hay too busy or dignified to spare a smile. Homia NW. HM, Ed.D. lf you are interested in learning just what makes the wheels go around in Somerset High School, just peep in during one of the regular meetings of our board of education. Theirs is the burden of deciding just what the policy of our school shall be in various perplexing problems. lt is these farsightecl citizens who have planned and organized our widely varying curriculum. Having devised this ambitious program, they have the added task of financing it. Balancing a school budget during the last few years may be almost as stupendous a task as balancing the national budget. Furthermore, in addi- tion to financing our school program, they provide us with instructors capable ofdirect- ing us toward getting the most out of the varied activities that are provided. We are sincere in expressing our gratitude to these men and women who give so freely of both their time and their ability to make school life pleasant and profitable for us. lvlr. lol. S.

Menser Meyers Miles Miller Ringler Romanoski Royer Schrock C. Shoemaker D. Shoemaker fascinates her freshmen with Ivanhoe, Treasure Island, and Silas Marnerf' Miss Baughman gives the seventh and eighth grades the fundamentals of English grammar and stories of animal, Indian, and pioneer life to say nothing of Robin Hood and King Arthur. Mr. Ringler's life is just one nightmare from explaining the whys and wherefores of French verbs and Ger- man umlauts, while Miss Truxal instructs her protegees upon the intricacies of Latin conjugations and declensions. Mr. Menser starts the mathematical ball rolling with the fundamentals of arithmetic in seventh and eighth grade. Adding momentum, Mr. Schrock explains the x-y-z affairs in first year algebra. Mr. Griffith, makes clear the perplexing problems of second year algebra. The source of all the premature gray hairs among the students is Mr. Frysinger with his geometrical theorems and their proofs. While Mr. Williams hands out general science contracts, Miss Miller exhibits the bony structure of an erst- while human being and traces life from the amoeba to the orchid. Mr. Wagner boasts the double duty of solving difficult problems involved in the study of physics along with tormenting would-be chemists with correct formulae. Caught in a moment of relaxation, Dr. I-lay and Mr. Griffith demonstrate the efficacy of a lighter moment to leaven the tasks of the day. We have learned from them that a sense of humor and a capacity for enjoyment are invaluable adjuncts of executive ability. ts N lllll Ill '
