ROWLEY — Mathematics, Bookkeeping Along with his numerous and demanding duties as principal, Mr. Rowley still keeps his finger in the pedagogical pie, teaching freshmen and seniors the mysteries of mathematics. And speaking oi pie, Carter Hi's prmcipal can juggle his pots, pans and pastry recipes like a prolessional. Cooking is one of his favorite spare-time pursuits, with garatumg, in wmch he is equally capable, a close runnei-up. LAMBERT — Chemistry, Geology, Museum Director. Science is Mr. Lambert’s consuming interest. “Dry Bones might well be his theme song, for he’s usually surrounded by them. An air force pilot before he joined the faculty, and native Ekalakan, Mr. Lambere was lounder ol the popular Science, Inc. His capable direction has made the Carter County Museum a “must for visitors in this section of Montana. SHORT — Coaching, Physical Ed. History. Mr. Short’s skillful and vigorous coaching has given the Bulldogs a consistent lead in sectional athletics, while his lively sense of humor keeps history classes hopping. For his own amusement. Mr. Short prefers to follow Isaac Walton. Give him a pole, a line and a stream full of trout and hell let the rest of the world go by. BEAMER — English IV, Social Stuuies, Library, Dramatics. A graduate of William Jewell College, Mr. Beamer sponsored this year’s largest class, the sopnomores. Equally interested in English and history, he finds it hard to separate the two and his classes often find themselves treated to a dip of both. His painstaking direction and apt casting made “Here Comes Charlie , the Junior play, one of the highlights of the season. RIDENOUR — Typing I, II, and Shorthand. Head of the high school commercial department, Mr. Ridenour, who was graduated from Oakland City College in 1949, put commercial subjects on students’ prefened list. His friendly but firm approach has encouraged his classes to put forth their best efforts, and stimulated constructive competition among students. Sponsor of the senior class, Mr. Ridenour also directed the hilarious “Tobaccy Road With Detours with tongue in cheek good humor. CURRAN — Band, Chorus, Glee Club, Girls’ Physical Ed. From Tschaikowsky to tumbling may seem something of a stretch, but Miss Curran literally doubled in brass this year. A graduate of Moorhead State Teacher’s College, where she majored in art and music. Miss Curran added physical education, tumbling and folk dancing to her repertoire this season, as well as contributing her artistic talents to such varied enterprises as the carnival, senior and junior plays, and the junior prom. DRISCOLL — Biology, Geometry. Ekalaka was the last stop after an eventful two months, for Miss Driscoll, w7ho arrived here after completing a European tour. A native Iowan. Miss Driscoll was graduated from Marycrest College in 1949. Contrary to the rest of her sex who usually complain they have no head for figures, Miss Driscoll dotes on a good algebraic equation and is little harrassed at the thought of filling out income tax returns. Junior sponsor, she teaches largely sophomores and is often heard to remark that she minors in study hall. SCHEID — English I-III. Journalism, Annual Adviser. A New Yorker, “by birth but not by preference, Miss Scheid founded Fun, Inc., sponsored the Freshmen—otherwise known as “Miss Scheid’s Shiners” and served as adviser on “The Broadcaster” and “The Medicine Rock. An amateur photographer, she frequently disappeared in a mad scramble of arms. legs, and referees at Bulldog games only to emerge a few minutes later with hair awry, a burned out flashbulb, and the all-important picture.
