Miss Cernahan Mrs. VVeaver Mrs. VVhitman Mr. Elbers Mrs, Dunbar Miss MacNeil Eight Mrs. Dunbar, whose ambition is to have some of her pupils win a Scholastic Creative Writting awards, is sponsor of the Velmarian Literary Society as well as head of the English department and is in charge of the production of THE PINES. She also directed the faculty play, BUTTON, BUTTON. Miss Luella Cernahan, besides sponsoring the Library Club and Microphone staff, teaches journalism to seniors and juniors and English to the junior high. It was she who introduced the idea of teaching English by giving mimeographed copies of lectures and assignments to them. Besides her literary abilities, she can really cook! Miss MacNeil, too, teaches the underclassmen English. Besides directing the junior play, THE ANTICS OF ANDREW, she found time to organize a dramatic club, with all the attendant difficulties and setbacks. Mrs. Whitman's subject is history and her hobby, the history of the United States and the particular section in which she lives. An outlet for the student-behind-in-his lessons is her habit of discussing current news to be able to compare it with historical happenings. She also teaches civics to freshmen. Mr. Elber's work lies in a somewhat similar field: government, civics, and eco- nomics. The activity nearest and dearest to him is debate, however, for he coaches the school debating team during the first semester. He has a deep love for maps and charts-they're the way to his heart. This year, in addition to his other work, he directed the senior play. Mrs Leah Weaver, who has become a part of the school due to her long years of service here, teaches two of the Romance languages, Latin and French, and spon- sors Legio Decimo, the Latin club, and L'Alliance Francaise, the French club.

Mr. Hugh Pierce is our new vocational co-ordinator. This year there were four- teen students in the vocational training course under his direction, and more are ex- pected next year. Mr. Pierce played the leading role of Button in the faculty play. Mr. Ray f Doc J Miller has been a teacher of manual training at B. H. S. for years. Besides his work in this subject, he teaches mechanical drawing and civics. His pep talks are features of assemblies through the football and basketball seasons. 4'Doc also watches th-e teams closely. Their successes keep him in a .state of ani- mated joy. 2 Mr. Langer, Kelly to his older classes, is the teacher of biology and agriculture as well as director of the local chapter of the Future Farmers of America. It is un- der his watchful eye that the projects of spring, summer, and fall are carried out. His hobby is helping to coach the basketball team. Besides this, he is the teller of more jokes to illustrate his lectures than any other teacher gets around to in a life- time. The members of the fair sex in the vocational department are Miss Quade and Miss Shivvers. Miss Quade is the envy of her classes for her skill and speed in typing and short- hand. Her shorthand, bookkeeping, typing, and office practice classes learn their stuff in a surprisingly short time. Miss Quade also sponsors the Usher Club which she organized several years ago. Miss Shivvers, who is new this year, heads the domestic science department. Her skill at cooking is only equalled by her skill at teaching the elements of cleaning up to both boys' and girls' classes. Rows of shining china and glassware speak elo- quently of this part of her duties. The school band is the special care of Mr. Robinson. He also organized the or- chestra and Glee Club and teaches music to a group of seventh and eighth graders. Although he teaches in the auditorium, his office is upstairs near the gymnasium. Here he keeps the musical instruments and his musical scores. CNickname, Robbiel. Miss Westcott, new to Buchanan this year, is already well established through her leading the dance orchestra and her popular subject, art. Much of her time is taken up by the grades to which she teaches music and art. Her violin is the medium through which she has become known to most of the students.
