BUSY HOURS WITI-I Try as we might we can't forget: Memories of English linger yet. At the mention of each English teacher memories of lessons learned and pleasant moments spent in the company of imaginary personages of fiction come to us: Miss Baughmans seventh and eighth grade grammar XI: s. Nuvdoi- Miss llaupqhman Miss Stoker A ss Milos Miss Maier Mr. Lemshm-ri-y and Vocational guidance, Miss Stokerfq Miss Sipc Freshman English, more grammar, Treasur Island, and The Virginian? Miss Snyder's sophomores love little Eppie and pity Silas Marner. With Miss Sipe and Iunior English come the memories of Macbeth, short stories, essays, and tickets received for speeding over sentence structure: and with Miss Miles we associate lyric poetry, Hamlet, modern drama, and the novel. Correctly pronounced was does not rhyme with buzz and weary must have a long He. These are the memories that we association with Mr. Lansberry's public peaking class, Latin may be 'AGreek to you but it's Latin and no mystery at all to us. We should know, too, because Miss Truxal is our Latin teacher. Mr. Ring- ler knows what we wish we knew about French verbs and German conjugations. Sing, sing, loving the singing the whole day throughn- so do the vocal groups directed by Mr. Van Vorst. He also supervises the music in the grades, conducts girls', boys', and mixed choruses, and was respon- sible for the singing in the operetta. Mr. Stineman directs the band, orchestra and gives lessons on reed, brass, and string instruments. All those posters and paintings you were wondering about came from the art department where Mr. Kline's pupils also redesigned grocery containers.

DR. H. W. HAY has been with us Dr. Hay as a friend, not only as our four, happy. progressive years, giving supervising principal. advice willingly with Any time of day he can be found in his quiet office, away from the bustle and noise of the halls, working on plans for the benefit of our school, or aiding and encouraging some stu- dent. Dr. Hay has a rare quality of being able to get complete cooperation from the students. As a result, the student body will follow any of his sug- gestions with alacrity and good will. He has very little spare time from his duties of supervising princi- pal of the Somerset schools and can be seen in many parts of the building. Dr. Hay was grad- uated from California Teachers College and received his Doctor's degree from the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. With such prepara- tion he is well fitted to lead and guide us. his cherry smile. To MR. W. E. GRIFFITH we take our problems - large and small. They are. however. never too small or unimportant to be taken care of personally by him. In and out of his office, all day long students bring requests for anything from a change of subjects to the solution of an al- gebra problem. His duties are by no means confined to the limits of his office for he can be seen busily working in any part of the building. Mr. William Grif- fith not only acts as principal of our school but also finds time to teach several algebra classes. After being gradu- ated from Franklin and Marshall Acad- emy and College, Mr. Griffith did post graduate work in the Although he has few rules and wishes. University of Pittsburgh. We will carry he expects us to observe these. After with us many of Mr. Griffiths stories leaving high school, we shall remember beyond high school. 11131

CAPABLE GUIDES printed Christmas cards from linoleum blocks, and stenciled card table covers and napkins to match. Say thank you to Mr. Kline for the blue water on which H. M. S. Pinafore Hsailedn and for painting the stage for the operetta. If you are interested in general science to go Mr. Speaker: if in biology, ask Mr. Lohr: and if you de- sire points toward physics and chem- Mr. Wagner is the man you want. Rat, tat-tat, tat, so they go, Thirty-six typewriters all in a row. Typing, shorthand, business training, and transcription comprise a day for Miss Stern, Miss Romanoski, and Miss Shoemaker, who are engaged in training first class stenographers and business men in our commercial department. What could those papers held by the social science teachers be? Those remembering Mr. Lloyds world history classes say they are copies of the Magna Carta or a war order of Napoleon: students from Mr. McCahan's civics classes believe they are copies of the Constitutiong American history students from Miss Long's, Mr. Deitz's, and Mr. Schrock's history classes know they are the XYZ papers. The majority, thinking of Miss Long's social science, insist they are labor contracts. We are almost afraid to learn the truth-they may be just more history tests. History may tell us what happened in the world but we need geography to tell us where. Napoleon's conquests meant so much more because we had located France and Waterloo on Miss Meyers' maps.
