Model husbands for these would-be cooks and seamstresses are the lads who learn to be farmers under the tutelage of Mr. Cleeves and Mr. Royer. Lamps, tables, book ends, anything out of wood the boys produce under the able supervision of Mr. Agnew. The business of shaping more and better stenographers by instructing them in typing, shorthand, book- keeping and other commercial subjects is divided among three members of the fair sex, Miss Romanoski, Miss Clara Shoemaker, and Miss Stern. Without assistance Miss Zoner has established in our school an art department worthy of the praise it receives. Another instructor in the finer arts is Mr. Smathers who has charge of the band, orchestra, dance orchestra and various vocal organizations. A pleasant diversion from all this mental strain is the gym activities offered by Miss Weber and Mr. Kerin. ln addition to the regular, required classes, games between home rooms are played every noon in the gym. A little work, a little play- And herds, indeed, a perfect day. l-4 Whenever we want anything from a postage stamp to the whereabouts of a fellow pupil, we just ask Tekla. l-lers is a seemingly inexhaustible store of knowl- edge and her patienceis equally boundless.

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 '
