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.

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.

'lb' Miss Weber Mr. Kerin MORE FACULTY Tom, tom, tom! Don't be fright- enedg it's not an lndian war, Miss Weber is showing Mr. Kerin how she teaches rhythm to the girls in the phys- ical ed. department. Mr. Kerin keeps the boys occupied with basketball. touch-football, volleyball, soccer, ten- nis, and mushball, while Miss Weber thinks that girls should know some- thing about marching, folk dancing, and stunting. Homemakers are the speciality of Miss Hill and Miss I-lemminger, who teach the girls to cook and sew. Some girls won't make hard biscuits, nor boys either because Miss Hill has a class of senior boys who are famous for their cinnamon rolls. Besides teaching the girls to place their stitches just so, Miss Hemminger designs the costumes for plays and operettas. Ml-leroes are made, not born. So are farmers in the agriculture depart- ment where Mr. Billick and Mr. Cleeves are the authorities on vegetable gardening, farm crops, farm management, poultry raising, husbandry, or rural law. The prize winning crops and cattle you saw on your last trip Hmongst the hills of Somerset were fruits from practice projects supervised by Mr. Billick. Amid the buzz of saws and the pounding of hammers in the indus- trial arts department Mr. Dixon moulds Somerset's future carpenters. What does x equal? Oh! Yes: x equals three when the mathematics teachers get together. lt's strange we can remember x because Mr. Menser's 9? problems of eighth grade were still occupying our minds when Mr. Fry- singer first told us about x in algebra. Then, too, Mr. Griffith's imaginaries and square roots and Mr. Frysinger's plane geometry and trig helped us to forget our first experience with X.
