Aliss I’hilljin is Uie beuuitful l)londe instructor in French and (ter- nian and the only ineniher of the faculty on (hipid’s casualty list. She is reported to he nioi-tally wounded and we fear she will he lost to C. II. S. before another year. She finds it very hard to he serious, and even when she is very angry with us she cannot help smiling at our childlike antics. MARGUERITE F. PHILBIN Mr. Jordan, the guardian of Room 2, unfolds the mysteries of Latin to all classes, from the infants to the dignified Seniors. His desk, when not surrounded by a group of Sopho- mores desiring instruction, is com- pletely hidden by a barricade of fel- lows desiring amusement but receiv- ing P. M. sessions. Guy has handled the affairs of the A. A., filling all roles from property-man to water- Miss h Liry is the most “petite” mem- ber of the faculty, and a great favor- ite with boys and girls alike. Her subjects range from History to Alge- bra. She, together with Miss Smith, is always being called upon to serve as chaperon at some dance or party. Once in a while she takes her violin up into Assembly Hall. Then every- body stops and listens. boy. ELIZABETH I. FURY GUYSBERT B. V. JORDAN 1

SUSAN D, SMITH .Miss Smith kept a restraining ' hand over ns when we were mere Fresh- men, and instructed us in Englisli when Sophomores and Juniors. Ow- ing to the peculiar floor-plan of Room 6, her classes were usually informal and social. Sometimes we didn’t understand the lesson when we went in, but we always did when we went out. Any marks we deserved she al- ways gave us, and also any marks she gave us we always deserved. Mr. Gordon, although a member of the faculty for only a year, has ren- dered invaluable service to the class of 1918. He taught our commercial department the mysteries of English, and was our class advisor. Although busy with the financial affairs of nearly all the classes he was always ready to stop a few minutes and ex- tricate us from some difficulty. LEWIS S. GORDON, JR. HANNAH M. WALSH When Miss Smith was not teaching us English, that is, in our Freshman and Senior years. Miss Walsh under- took that difficult task, and she ac- complished it. She gave us invalu- able aid and suggestions in the publi- cation of the Student. We always enjoyed hearing her read Shakes- peare to us, for her rendition was most dramatic, as it were. 11

Miss McLau lilin, who assists Mr. Mattliews in teaching Coniniercial branches, is very popular with tlie girls, and may always be seen at re- cess surrounded by a group of them, probably receiving additional instruc- tion in some subject. She is always willing to help out, when any type- writing has to be done in a hurry, and then her fingers fly. MARY A. McLaughlin As Mr. Howard teaches Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing, he is only well known to the boys of the technical course; but take it from us, he is “some boy.” All our extra periods we like to spend down in the shop, convincing John of our superior genius. Mr, Howard has coached the high school plays successfully for several years, but as he has enlisted in the navy, we fear he will be lost to C. H. S. before next September. JOHN J. HOWARD As Miss Mills teaches Free-hand Drawing, she is well-known only to the girls of the class. But we know she is patient, kind, and always ready to help us out of some difficulty. LULA MILLS 13
