He lends his iudgmenf and experience fo all our financial problems. And he always has a pafienf smile and a helping hand for every sfudenf in woodshop, af fhe fypewrifer, and in his mechanical drawing classes. Ever since we have known C. H. S., Mr. Wood has been an indispensable and never failing parf of if and he probably always will be. Her quief, orderly, sunny room is like MRS. HULL'S feaching.

MEMBERS Always fhinking of inferesfing fhings for her French and Lafin classes fo do, MISS KNAPP finds fime for leading caroling in Lafin, enferfaining sfudenfs af supper while fhey speak French, mailing parcels fo France, and doing many ofher fhings besides fhe roufine work of feaching English and Romance Languages. Wifh fwinkling eyes behind his glasses and a ready chuckle, MR. SISTO hurries cheerfully from fhe Spanish room fo fhe sfage, one minufe coniugafing verbs and fhe nexf murdering a vicfim for fhe benefif of his casf. He has proved nof only a Spanish feacher wifh a sense of humor buf a play direcfor wifh real efficiency and skill and, more- over, we like him! We knew quief voiced, good humored MR. HALES among fhe pingpong fables af fhe Youfh Cenfer lasf summer so he found lofs of friends when he sfarfed his much needed remedial reading work here fhis fall. We found him more fun and more undersfanding fhan ever as he conscienfiously spenf fhe resf of his fime using up fhe surplus energy of our Junior High boys by coaching and arranging infer-school afhlefics for fhem. This was fhe pro- gram we have been wanfing and needing af Claremonf for many years and he did a wonderful iob wifh if. So anyone can see why all C. H. S. is crazy abouf Mr. Hales. Thaf genial smile doesn I' fool us. We know we can'f gef away wifh anyfhing around COACH MARTIN. Look if up, he fells lazy hisfory sfu- denfs in one of his fhree classes and if if's a foofball game or a frack meef we iusf go in fhere and do our besf, knowing he won'+ be safisfied wifh less. Sfimulafing discussions are whaf we look forward fo in MR. WlLBY'S Junior High social science classes. His gruff, fhoughfful commenfs make hisfory real and alive fo us. Buf when if comes fo his ofher job, discipline, we know fhere will be no discussion buf prompf, effecfive acfion which may make us angry buf also wins our respecf. .JL f I
