H HERBERT K. RHODES, A. B. MISTER ROADS, as one of the chemistry class wrote, it tanyone in the chem. section can tell you who it isj is really the sport of the faculty. Prof. Rhodes was introduced to us in our Freshman days as Bunny and within five minutes we were all talking of Bunny as of an old friend. We might add here that he solved an old ruestion for us. Here is the question: VVhen we were small we heard our grandmother say that she did not th'nk Dad should get us bunnies because they multiplied so fast. Soon after that we caught a bunny and found out that the blamed thing couldn't even add. As we said above, Mr. Rhodes solved the puzzle for us. We frank- ly say that we like Mr. Rhodes, and for the following rea- sons: I. He very seldom gives detnerits. 2. He al- ways gives fair marks. 3. He has a good quantity of horse Sense and is ever ready to help you out. RILLA B. HUBER, A. B. I F we were as faithful to Miss Huber as she is to us every mark would be above ninety per cent. Every one in her classes knows how she tries to drive Latin into our stuffed heads, but, lo, her subject is too dry and deep for pupils of this age and consequently many of her pleas fall on deaf ears. In study hall she does not want to sec anyone sleeping on the job and if some one gets out of order a good balling outu is her first remedy. NVhen it comes to recreation, Miss Huber is a good sport and she delights in nothing more than a hike and if some lady who thinks she can walk fast challenges Miss Huber to a race we know she will not do it again. Nl XRC XRTT 'VI ROSSMAN, N. B. A S little tots we always had an idea that English Teach- ers were gray bearded old fellows whose disposi- tions were about the same as a pet lion. Imagine our sur- prise therefore when we came to High and had Miss Rossman handed to us for our English teacher. Miss Rossman always has a smile, especially when one brings his English work in on time. If a person gets in wrong she has a way of looking at him that makes him think that the bottom has dropped out of things-and it usually has-at least out of your deportment and English marks. Miss Rossman is a specialist in Class write ups for this book, and we recommend her to future classes. fHer ad appears some pages further on.j We also assure you that she is the chaperon for Class Parties. So she comes well recommended for our successors. QOI1, that's all right Miss Rossman-and what's better it's all free, too.j

ALBERT C. SHUCK, A. M., Principal R. SHUCK, our l'rincipal, ev1dentiy was a very stu- clious lad while in school. As many successful and unsuccessful I'I1lllClS of those gems of truth in the dingy, poorly lighted caverns and solid rock of many books, toy with their hair, Mr. Shuck, well--he must have toyed rather roughly. If there is one thing of which he heartily disapproves, it is one who throws down his pick because he has struck rock. Go right at it and blast it out if necessary. Never have we gcne to him for help that he was not willing and anxious to assist us. VVhen he is out with the boys, he is a boy. No one en- joys a hard, clean, fight in all sports better than he. This, very modestly .spcf1le1'11g, is our principal. Give him three rousing cheers now, all together. Ray l Ray l Ray l T F. MAY HOCKICNINERRY, A. ll. llliN we were Freshmen we were lucky or unlucky enough las you may view itl to draw a seat in Miss Hockenberry's room. After we had been in a few days she scared us one afternoon by saying to us Cryptoccus- zanth l'egnacouryes tsounds herce doesn't it?j Wle thought of all the sins we had committed and then started to repeat to ourselves what we would say to Dad as an excuse for being fired. VVC learned later tto our joyj that it simply meant Open the Door in German. Miss Hockenberry is the Assistant Principal. VVe were an as- sistant once ourselves, if we remember right it was to an Old Ladies' Aid Society. As is the case of most assist- ants we had all the dirty , work to do. However this is not the case with Miss llockenberry as there is no 'work of any kind to do in Teaching or Principaling. QDO we hear Mr. Shuck seconding the opinion?j HY anyone should lore Shakespeare Milton and Byron, etc., has always puzzled us. fVVe realize that everyone must love something, but our choice has run along such things as Pie, Turkey and lce Creamj. XVQ remember once we were sailing along quoting Shakespeare when we came to that line Rude am I in speech. After we had said this particular line about six or seven times, the teacher agreed with us, and told us to sit down. liver since we have just detested him and everybody else that writes except ourselves. Miss Seiders informs us that her favorite color is Light Orange-the same shade that is found on twenty-dollar certificates. This is probably the same reason that Miss Rossman admires that color. CHint for Graduation Presents-NVE also admire that colorj.

SUZANNE L. SNIDER, A M. OOlM ! Boom ! Boom-tidera-da-Boom-a-diddle-dee! B Boom! Boom! Boom-tidera-da-Boom! Here comes Susie's Band with its famous director Mrs. Snyder. She has developed our orchestra to such an extent as to be a great credit to our High School and to herself. Mrs. Snyder is perhaps more lucky than most of the faculty- she is married! As we eat our matutinal orange Cwe are writing this at breakfast time-maybej we smile as we recall how handy he comes in some times. She has form- ed a Uharmony class this year and most of them believe that they can secure engagements down at W'olf's Lake this summer Qwith the frogsj. lt is no easy job to try to teach about two thousand pupils the elements of music- and we do not believe that this town will ever get one better than Mrs. Snyder for this work. SUSIE K. KRIECHBAUM, A B. F we had to give one rule for teachers to make a suc- I cess of hi h school teaching it would be this' Treat g . . everybody square and donit try to make angels out of Boys in your class roomf' Miss Kriechbaum, we believe has that rule some where in the back of her head. Ever since we have gone to her we have not one complaint to make of her treatment of us. We are like an old maid- we like to tell secrets. When Miss K. started her teach- ing career she tried out a sort of student government- whenever anybody did anything wrong she would punish herself by the hand and ruler method Qwe know you know all the line points in itj. The badness grew steadily into popularity-so she changed the method-much to our sorrow. Miss Kriechbaum makes a par excellent chap- eron and when we are told she is hgoing alongi' we feel as good as if we had a raise in salary or rather about as good as we think we should feel if we should get a raise. GERTRUDE M. ANDERSON A S head of the Household Arts department Miss Ander- son has exceeded all speed limits. We marvel at her wonderful ability. lf it had not been for her strong will power and her determination, we do not know what our school would have done. Wfhen she came here she was handicapped by not having as much room as was nec- essary. She broke down this strong barrier and went right ahead anyway. It is needless to say she has turned out many good housewives-to-be. This year she has opened the lunch room selling delicious hot lunches at ex- act cost. Miss Anderson, we take off our hats to you, and wish you all possible success in years to come.
