Teachers E are all agreed that there are two distinct types of class conduction. First, there is the cut-and-dried method of read the question, answer it in the words of the book, and woe-be-unto-you if you digress from tl1e subject. tin the other hand, there is the ideal classroom discussion in which every viewpoint is given polite consideration, all sides and angles of the subjects are discussed, vast tields are covered in the discussions, and the general and practical knowlf edge of the student is broadened. The instructor determines which way his class is conducted. The students of our high school consider themselves very fortunate, and they greatly appreciate the fact that our faculty give us the type of class we like-the open-minded, free discussion type. lloth the superintendent and principal, Mr. White and lvlr. Scales have been very successful in their administration of the school. Their sincere friendliness and genuine interest in the pupils have formed an admirable feeling of co-ordina- tion between the pupils and the faculty. Miss Winzeler's composure and competence enables her to control the excit- ed lireshies in their first high school English. XYe lind her personal neatncss ree tlected in her very orderly library. Students of Latin, Public Speaking and Sophomore English tind themselves envying Miss Dean's sweet personality, understanding and sympathetic nature. and her contagious smile. XVe are very proud of her successful debate teams. Mr. Haugher's supreme tolerance enables him to direct high school plays with a phenomenal success. The upperclassmen lind English made endnrable by his dry wit and inotfensive teasing. Upon completion two years of required history, the students tind themselvefi missing Mr. XX-iagner's humorous sarcasm and delightful anecdotes. As advisor of Hi-Y he is very popular with his boys. Mr. Geer's splendid personality enables him to win the contidence and respect of his algebra, and economic students. The boys affectionately nicknamed their basketball coach Pop Geer. One year of coaching athletics and teaching geometry has impressed llryan High with Mr. Ogden's sincere interest in not only the subjects but the pupils themselves. His football team was league champion this season. Science, physics and chemistry are taught by Mr. Robrock. I-lis superb sense of humor, slow smile and his patience make his classes popular with the students. I-le also conducts the Bryan High Orchestra and is faculty advisor for the year's Annual Staff. Mr. Everett teaches mechanics and agriculture. l-lis own thoroughness and true interest in these subjects arouses enthusiasm in his pupils and makes him one of our best instructors. lX lr, and Capen are indispensible to ltryan l'ligh's musical department. ln just a few years their indefatigable persistence has developed for the school the best of musical organizations. Miss Lehman's success as a home economics teacher was about twice her small size. Upon her resignation, liryan secured Miss Iiowland who has already won the hearts of her students. The Commercial courses are made enjoyable by Miss Goeller's friendly atti- tude and her jovial air. Her good natured gaiety is conclusive to cooperation with her students. Girl's physical education and tivo years of French are taught by Mrs. l'arker. The irresistible charm of her personality and her ready smile captivate the good will of her pupils. Mrs. Newcomer is the school secretary and also supervises a few study halls. She is a very pleasant cheerful person with a smile for everyone.
