POETRY CAN BE FUN, agree students as fhey compile anthologies. SHAKESPEARE and his limes provide interesting study for CHS seniors. A Thorough Knowledge of English Cpens Many Doors WE HAVE A LINGUIST in our midst! MR. RICHARD MAR- TINEZ, a new member of the CHS faculty, spent one year in the Army Language School in Monterey, California. He speaks fluent French and Spanish. At Chamberlain Mr. Martinez teaches English but hopes that next year he may teach Russian. Tampa University and the University of Florida is the college alma mater of this tri-linguist. In addition to his role as a teacher, his hobbies include dancing, swimming, bowling, and sponsor of the Hi-Y. CALENDAR GIRL on the CHS faculty! Our own special calendar girl at Chamberlain is MISS JOANNE HECKER, who teaches Sophomore and Junior English classes and is co-sponsor of the Thespians. Miss Hecker, a native Tampan, received many honors at the University of Georgia where she received her A.B. in Journalism. Among these were membership in Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi honoraries as well as in Theta Sigma Phi Uournalismj , Zeta Phi Eta QSpeechj, and Di Gamma Kappa QBroadcasting fra- ternityj. In her leisure time, the talented Miss Hecker works with the Tampa Little Theater. The Honeybee has a lot in common with MRS. SANDRA OU' BUTTERWORTH, peppy CHS faculty member. The pert honey blond keeps busy teaching classes in E10 and E11 as well as co-sponsoring the Junior Red Cross at Cham- berlain. At Indiana State College where she received her A.B. in Com- parative Literature Mrs. Butterworth was a member of such honoraries as Mortar Board and Pi Lambda Theta educational Honorary and was President of her sorority, Pi Beta Phi. Mrs. Butterworthis pastimes include reading and swimming. Although born in New York City, MRS. NANCY WHITE decided at an early age that Tampa was the place where she wanted to settle down, and that the Florida Universities were the best from which to acquire an education. The proof of Mrs. White's well-rounded education can be seen with a glance at her record which among her degrees highlights a B.S. from the University of Tampa, a M.Ed. from the University of Florida, and an Advanced Masters from Florida State University. She is a past president of the Florida Scholastic Press Association and is a director of the National Association of Journalism Directors. With all these qualifications her authority as a sponsor of the Chamberlain Cfaieffain and a first-class Junior English teacher will go unchallenged. MR RICHARD MARTINEZ MISS JOANNE HECKER MRS.

MR. NEIL SHRINER MRS. ALMA GRIFFIN MRS. ALMA BENSON MR. VAL FICCIO A BUSY LIFE is that of MR. NEIL SHRINER who practices what he preaches and preaches what he practices. As a teacher of Jr. English, Jr. X English, speech, and Bible History he tries to inspire these students with high ideals. As an assistant pastor of the First Church of God, he does a lot of speaking and writing for his church. He also finds time somehow to sponsor the Chamberlain Debate Club. Mr. Shriner attended Oberlin College, the University of Tampa, and is a graduate of Anderson College. He has done graduate work at Stetson University. Now at last in the Chamberlain halls MRS. ALMA GRIFFIN has found a home. Room 101 is her very own for all day. No longer is she a floating teacher or has to share her room with another. One class of English 12 found its way into her schedule of sophomore classes. After taking her A.B. degree in English from the University of Tampa and studying also at Columbia and Miami Universities, Mrs. Griiiin taught in Huntington, Virginia before coming to Tampa schools. Debate C VERSATILITY! is indeed a trait of the CHS Debate Club. Not only is a presentation, rebuttal, and summation of argument practiced in the wars of words by some members, but also dra- matic interpretation, humorous reading, extemporaneous speak- ing, and many other categories may be entered in the program of the various meets. These young apprentice orators, under the Iub Alia vnagistra venit to Chamberlain High this year. MRS. ALMA BENSON, a native Tampan, graduated from Hillsbor- ough High with Mrs. Cox and now shares teaching with her. Mrs. Benson attended Florida State University and Duke. After receiving an A.B. degree with a major in Latin and English, she taught at Memorial Junior High, Lake Magdalene, and the Uni- versity of Tampa. Mrs. Benson is a past president of the Classical Association of Florida. She now teaches some Latin, English, and history, and co-sponsors the Latin Club. Another native Tampan has come into our midst. MR. VAL FICCIO graduated from Jesuit High School before going to Tampa U. and Florida Southern. He graduated from Springhill with an A.B. in English but has done his post-graduate work in biology and chemistry. He has had one year in medical school at the University of Miami, but is turning his eyes to the field of education which he likes more and more. For a hobby Mr. Ficcio pursues his musical talent. Members direction of Mr. Neil Shriner, gain speaking skill, learn poise, and practice courteous and wise listening. Still an infant organization in the oratorical circle, CHS colors are well represented in debate meets as the members exert every eHort to rank high in their grouping and earn enough points to obtain a membership charter in the National Forensic League.
