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!

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
