The Future Home- makers are her special responsibility. Robert McClenahan struggles daily with the gigantic task of making geometry clear to the sophomores. He also teaches the ad- vanced math. classes. His jolly and pleasant manner help out as we toil through angles, equations and theorems. Edith McConnell is kept busy instructing seniors about our heritage and the Ameri- can Way of Life. We enjoy the many in- teresting historical movies she secures for us and the attractive exhibits covering the walls of her room and study hall. Mildred Morris is our peppy and lovable gym and biology teacher. The Girls' Booster Club, freshman cheerleaders, and sponsor- ing the many activities of the juniors keep her very busy. Ray Morrison is the teacher usually seen in coveralls. He is in charge of the Ag. De- partment and work is the order of the day out there. The F. F. A. judging teams and all the activities of our farmers keep him on the run. Blanche Perkins is in charge of speech and dramatics. She is responsible for those en- tertaining plays and for the interesting school paper, The Promoter, which is produced hv her journalism class. She also teaches an Enolish class, sponsors the Girl Reserves and the sophomore class. Ruth Raynolds is our efficient head of the English Department. Besides finishing off the juniors and seniors in the use of their mother tongue, she is Dean of Girls and di- rects the work of the Junior Deans. Wayne Snodgrass is usually found dashing back and forth between band room and au- ditorium, high school and grade schools. Ev- eryone enjoys the marching band, concerts, pep band, stardusters and all the many in- strumental numbers given everywhere for which he is responsible. Besides being a top ranking music professor, it is reported that he is also very efficient at washing dishes using pancake flour for soap flakes. Otto Unruh is our tireless coach who works. worries, sweats and keeps on the go all the time that C.C.C.H.S. boys may have plenty of athletic activities. We are all proud of the football and basketball teams he produces. He teaches constiution and sociology. There you have them, our faculty, a group of instructors any high school would envy. Perhaps at times we have tried their patience and failed to show our appreciation but we like them and will long remember what they have both said and done here. THIRTEEN
