OR three years these ten home room guardians have lcept pace with their Ucherubsf, usually smiling, sometimes frowning. Their sympathetic ad- vice, lcindly admonishing, and occasional quick flare of temper ftheyire only human after alll have endeared them to those who came under their influence and direction. With their help, we, the class of June 1942, have had organized home rooms and valuable guidance programs, added pennies to the class funds, danced in the gym, sold tickets, marched in more or less orderly fashion to assembly and listened funder their eagle-eyesj docilely or not too enthusiastically. They have grilled us about absences, sent us with quaking hearts to the office, encouraged us to try out for this and that, and thrilled with us when we won an award or recognition, they have admired our new dresses or ties or high school letters. They have listened to our alibi of how' the other teachers uabusedi' us, ubawledu us out properly for not studying, heard our tale of mis- understandings concerning the best friend who lied or the fickle boy friend, and even helped us make a date with the blonde in the next room. Long will we remember Mr. Martin's calm- ness through all storms . . . Mr. Comin's efficient dignity . . . Miss Jamison's Sh-sh! . . . Miss Kilmer,s Be-qui-eti' as she slammed the door . . . Miss Riggleis All ready to get your A's today? . . . Miss Critchlowis Now isn't that just dandylv . . . Miss Greenough's unfailing smile . . . not what Miss Murphy said but how she said it . . . busy Miss Reed's 'just a minute, please . . . Miss Morrison's So-you're here again! Sure, we ranted and raved about and against them and their laws, we ridiculed and laughed at them, mocked their mannerisms, deceived them for thought we didj, cried because of them, vowed vengeance upon themlbut we like them- we respect them-and we'll never forget what we owe them! Standing, Left to Right: Critchlow, Kilmer, Reed. Seated, Left to Right: Comin, Murphy, Riggle, Morrison, Greenough, Martin. ff

EUMMEHEIAL HE commercial division opens with a meaning- less parade of letters and signs-agsldkfjgh space agsldkfjgh-ribbon, spacer, keys galore, sit up straight, feet on the floor . . . easy exercises and much practice bring order out of the chaos and soon words fly along from the typewriter with rhythmic click-click at the rate of fifty per minute . . . there are sometimes slight delays for the correction of errors or for learning the proper way of folding papers, addressing envelopes, or the correct form for legal documents . . . next come queer little objects with curious lines, twisted curves, and funny curliques, singing a dot and clash melody as they go by at the rate of one hundred words or more each minute . . . by and by they are marshalled into neat looking lines across a page and make intelligible sentences in the stenographer's notebook . . . here is the student learning to type, conning the Smiling captains of the keys . . .
