he 19 23 ffzhnf Mrs. Keefer Of course, you've seen the picture before, but doesn't the name look unfamiliar? We'll admit the name is different but the person is still Miss Rossman. WVhen school began last fall, Mrs. Keefer had the distinction of being the only married lady on tl1e faculty. But Miss NVhisler soon got jealous, and now they share the Croix d'Honneur. Mr. Faust displayed unusual wis- dom when he chose Mrs. Kee- fer faculty advisor for the Senior class. No where could we iind a better friend or o11e wl10 is more willing to help us ill every Way. Mrs. Keefer's sunny smile Has lightened many a weary mile. Mr. Williams Here is Professor Williams, head of the Commercial de- partment, who comes from way down in Uld Kentucky. ln his three years' stay we have learned that he not only believes that Speech is sil- ver. silence is golden. but truly lives up to his belief. He takes a great interest in all of the activities that the students undertake. Since he is such a wizard at figures. he has charge of all the School funds, and care- fully accounts for them. NVe have all found that. un- der his quiet, unassuming manner, is a friendly interest and a store of knowledge that has benefited many a student who has gone to him for help. Miss Mickey A teacher strict she was, and stern to view: I knew her well, and every student knew: well had the little Freshmen learned to trace the day's dis- asters in her morning face: full well they laughed-no counterfeited glee-at all her jokes,4for ma11y a joke had she. Full well the busy whis- pers, circling.: round. conveyed the dismal tidings when she frowned. Yet she was kind, or if severe in aught. the love she bore to learning was in fault. Lands she has visited, towns and mountains seen: she has ridden western bron- chos and eaten Boston beans. XVhile words of learned length and thundering sound amazed the gaping students ranged around, and still they gazed, and still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all she knew. 1 ,e Y 4 Y A 4P- 4 v C165

he 1923 ffclvq Miss Seiderls Have you read Shakes- peare? If yon have, you can certainly appreciate the tal- ents of our lovely Miss Sei- dors. How we wish that all the world could hear her teach Macbeth. Even the chronic sleepers sit up and take notice then. and every one wishes the periods would go on indefinitely. except the boy who tries to blntf. At first we wondered how she had escaped the boat on the sea of matriinony. for she is not only charming in man- ner but lovely of face. But later we decided that she had accepted a greater calling- that of instructing and urging on to a higher life, the youth of Ull2il1lll0l'Silll1'g'. We hope that future class- es. fparticularly the Juniors. for they 1199ti it so lllllkilf will obtain great knowledge. as we have. from our Lovely Lady. Mr. Shockey Jack of all trades is this tine looking luan. He teaches Science, supervises in Study Hall--innch to the discomfort of a few boisterous young peo- plef-. and even acts as Princi- pal when Mr. Faust is absent. lint he is in his element when acting as coach for a lively bunch ot' boys or girls. Ile has brought our foot-ball up to par and has produced two remarkably fast basket-ball teams-Athe boys' tealn having won the pennant ln the Blue Ridge league with a standing of 1000. There are as good prospects for the base-ball season. XVe hope for the sake of the underclassnien that he will remain with us. is 6 Mrs. Miller In the future the tourist spinning along near Scotland will be constrained to stop near the bridge and listen to the sounds wafted from a lit- tle cottage in the lane. Vhnck! Uhuck! Uhnckee! will float on the apple blossom laden breezes. And it the traveler is observant. he will catch a glimpse. over the raspberry patch. of a graceful lignre tossing corn to a flock of high bred fowls, with the niost Delsartian nioveinents. No. it won't be Mary Gar- den or Geraldine I arrar: it will be Mrs. Miller. Not the draniatic Mrs. Miller of U. H. S.. but a veritable Maud Mil- ler. How cheerfully she helps .Iohn rake the hay: but just take a peep in the back door on honse-cleaning day and you will seo hiln busily sweeping. while his broom keeps time to the little tune-- How 'you gonna keep 'er Down on the farm?

he 1923 Ufxshcxz Miss Forbes Who said that beauty and brains cannot be combined? If you diction to that statement. just gaze upo11 this picture of one of the fairest of the lligh School Faculty. Miss Forbes. lt is hard to imagine anyone ol' so sweet and gentle a dis- position trying.: to force into the minds of the unruly So- phomores the facts ot' the lio- man conspiracy. U:esar's Gall- ic War. and the Helvetian XVars. Miss Forbes is also a very good sport. She plays a prom- inent part in our school activ- ities and social gatherings. We surely favor her as 11 dandy chaperone. want to see a contra- Mr. Rhodes Here's Prof. Rhodes. the head of the Science depart- ment, better known as Hun- ny. Ile is to be envied. not his ability to make only for plain the mysteries of science, for the manner in but also which he can sling.: sarcasm. a sure cure for egotists. N0iXViiiilSi2iIlliillg t h i s. where is there a pupil. pres- ent or past. who does not like Hunny ? His good nature and impartiality have become proverbial. All those who have had the pleasure of working with him lind him a jolly good tellow. His pa- tience. too. is sometimes bc- y o n d o u r comprehension. When we think of the awful odors that are sent forth from our experiments, we wonder how he endures them. year in and year out. The class of '23 thanks ililll especially for the interest he took in having the radio set installed in our High School .L Miss Beattie The ideal school teacher without the school 1uarm's staid ways! Miss Beattie is one of the youngest members of our faculty. but you must- n't conclude from that, that she doesn't know how to teach. No indeed! Miss llcattic knows how to com- bine work and fun success- fully, and our only regret when we become Seniors is that we can no longer be in her classes. Hut Miss Beattie does not excel in school-teach- ing alone. and if you do not believe me peep into the gym- nasium sometime when the Faculty Basket Ball team is practicing. .- Uh. Miss Beattie! How we love her! And when she's old and gray Everyone of us will say, She was some girl i11 her day. I i' . ,x .. C173
