Stenographic Department TOP ROW—AMiss Conway, Mrs. Davis, Miss Hunt, Mr. Miller. . . . LOWER ROW— Mrs. Moriarty, Miss Nelligan, Miss Walker. STENOGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT (Gregg Shorthand, Gregg) To a bit of reserved dignity, add equal parts of tact and initiative; blend well. Result, an excellent Stu- dent Council leader and type teacher, Miss Conway. .. Deep-set dimples and frequent outbursts of spon- taneous laughter often make it difficult for Mrs. “Speed Incorporated” Davis to retain her sedate, business-like appearance, even when scolding her students for mak- ing peculiar hen scratches in preference to legible shorthand outlines. .. . Miss Hunt’s posture, the object of many sincerely flattering remarks, suggests to her type students her uncompromising ideal for perfection in typing. .. . His complete air of seriousness is very often vanquished when Mr. Miller joins in the happy laughter of his students over the geometric figures which they describe physically and verbally. . . . Mrs. Mo- riarty’s habit of catching her lip between her teeth, while half smiling, gives her an impish look which never ceases to amuse her shorthand students. . . . The quiet composure and peaceful smile of Miss Nelligan assure faltering students of their ultimate success as typists. . .. Miss Walker’s brisk steps echo rhythmical- ly as she serenely moves about her typing classes in time to the steady beat of her potential experts. THE OLD GUARD OFF GUARD LEFT TO RIGHT, UPPER—With a salute, Mr. Smith greets his faculty picnickers at the home of jovial Mr. Williams. On- lookers, Mutt Black and Jeff Nickerson, grin as they pause while throwing horseshoes. In the back yard, Miss Hunt, although a total abstainer, demonstrates her love of the bottles. LOWER—Caught entirely off guard, grinning Mrs. Moriarty solves a knotty problem. . . . Smiling appreciatively, Miss Danforth watches the golfing skill of “Mrs. Young’s husband”. . . . On or off guard, humorous Mr. Jqnes always captivates an audience. Here he entertains his own wife, as well as petite Miss White and attentive Miss Lynch.

HOME ECONOMICS (Economic Problems in Modern Life, S. Patterson) Crisp voice and firm lips emphasize Miss Bulkeley’s de- mand for exactness and perseverance in her home manage- ment classes. . . . Miss Hyde’s fun-loving expression is not deceptive, as her foods students will afhrm; her eyes often radiate with pleasure when she rediscovers her former Forest Park students in Commerce. . . . Because she follows her own advice and wears garments of harmonizing hues, at- tractive Miss Judd easily impresses her clothing classes with the importance of “finding one’s own color scheme.” .. . With eyebrows knit, feet slightly apart, and hands on her hips, Miss Scott often puzzles over the work of some bud- ding seamstress lacking her own ability to achieve that touch called style. .Calm and diminutive Miss White, di- rector of the famous Commerce manikins, gives her girls hints on good grooming, etiquette, and personality, besides teaching them how to make beautiful dresses, NURSE (First Aid, American Red Cross) Soothing is the neat appearance of Miss MacNally’s carefully starched white uniform; only the whisk and wheeze of her skirt betray her almost silent approach. Practical Leaders UPPER LEFT—School Nurse, Miss MacNally; LOWER LEFT—Junior Custodian, Mr. Hottin; Home Economics Department, UPPER—RMiss Scott, Miss Judd; LOWER—Miss Hyde, Miss White.

Miss Schlosstein, Miss Per- kins; LOWER—Mr. Berry, Mr. Wulff. JUNIOR CUSTODIANS (The Instinct of Workmanship, Thorstein Veblen) As Mr. Hottin trudges daily from room to room to collect waste paper on the first floor, his ever courteous manners attract the attention of both teachers and students. . . . Amiable Mr. Miller, when not busy with his repair duties, usually is seen chatting with his many young Commerce friends. PHYSICAL EDUCATION (Boys Will Be Men, Jones) When boys of the gym. classes approach Mr. Berry with their decrepit gym. excuses, his face lights up with an impish grin, revealing his deep-set dimples. . .. After a brisk “Hi!” Miss Perkins, our health-y teacher, smilingly sits on’ a desk by the window, and crosses her legs; then she endeavors to teach seniors something, even though, this being her first year in Commerce, she considers herself “just a freshie’. . . . Miss Bliss’s athletic stride and physical agility present a re- markablecontrast to her short fluffy tresses, winsome pug nose, and straightforward grin. . . . The expressive eyes of ani- mated Miss Schlosstein sparkle with amused interest, as she helps her future muscle girls correct postures through their daily gym. exercises... . The sincere and ever-winning per- sonality of Mr. Wulff soon re-established his popularity with the Commerce boys of his gym. classes.
