Nine years ago we were Seniors- in High School worried to death for fear we'd still E be there the next year. E Oh, yes! That reminds me, Margaret, I came across our old 1927 Wmocix the other day. : Please get it. I haven't seen mine in ages. : As I returned to the room, Margaret said, Did you see in the paper that Miss Elizabeth Rogers had E gained great distinction for writing a book called 'The History of Mathematics? : I always thought, I replied, that she would or at least should write a book like that. She knew lz E so much about Plato, Bacon, and especially Pythagoras! She was bookkeeper of the Senior c iss but held : a much higher position in our minds because of her loyalty for and interest in us. Here's the faculty pic- E ture, and there's Miss Rogers, the second one on the second row. And there's Miss Peele on the top row. E Doesn't she look small? : Doesn't she, though, but she made up for it mentally. She certainly did have high ideals. lJon't you E know how she used to rub her forehead and think and think, while we sat and wondered what was coming E next? And how she did work with our class! Especially with the picture project, stunt might, and the EE Glee Club. E And, Margaret, that's Mr. Armstrong on the very back row at the right. We Seniors had him for only one year, but I certainly liked him. He was so gentlemanly and so interested in students. I never E saw a principal so popular and yet so able to keep order in the school. E The rather fat man in front is Mr. McWherter, the boys' coach. He could sing just as well as he E could direct athletics. E Yes, and I never will forget the talks he made in chapel. He often had something funny to read or : say, yet back of the humor was always a deeper meaning that urged good sportsmanship and school spirit. E By the way, who is the young man standing next to Mr. McWherter? : Don't you remember Mr. Fike? He taught chemistry. I know you remember how well he liked spring : flowers, especially hyacinths. No one outside the Senior class was more interested in the Senior activities E than he, nor, for that matter, was anyone more interested in school projects. , E Look at Mr. McGirt trying to hide. He needrft have done so, for he's rather good locking. At least Q his wife thought so. He knew science from molecules to the solar system. 5 That's a good picture of Miss Newton, isn't it? She was the quietest teacher we had, but there was E none more capable than she. ix You can.'t see Miss Heath very well. That's she, isn't it, trying to hide like Mr. McGirt? 1: Yes, that's Miss Heath. It was her section that won the picture we offered stunt night. :.-I I wondier if Miss Cox is still teaching Latin? See her behind Miss Heath? I never will forget, 'tio 12 on into study hall, girls! Donlt stand here talking.' And another thing I'll not forget is how fast Miss E Coker could walk! She was a popular teacher, wasn't she? E But look at Mrs. Boldridge, the witty one. You certainly couldn't bluff her. I ,really do believe she E knew an event for every year from 1492 to 1927. 1 in And there's Miss Taylor, the girls' coach, perched up there in an unusual place -as usual. She was : the most original person-her personality, her characteristics, her writing, even her name, Musette, was ex- E traordinary. She certainly had strong teams the two years we were there. : Miss Gibson is on her right. I think she's married now. Seems as if I saw it in the paper not long E ago. Her husband was a wise man to choose a home economics teacher. V : Is that Miss Horne back of Miss Gibson? I thought she had curly hair? : No, she had a permanent. It doesn't show much there, though! She taught French so well in VVilson 2 High that the French people heard about her. Now she's abroad! teaching French to the French. E You know, I always liked Miss Moore. She helped the students so much in study periodsseven those : whom she did not teach, but when they didn't behave she believed in standing 'them in the corner. E Miss Pullen used to help us a great deal, too, with reference work in the library. She's the one who Z coached the declaimers. I remember her pleasing voice and wavy black hair. Who's the tall slender one I next to her? E- Oh, that's Miss Wiley. I always wanted to know how tall she was. This picture doesn't show her E tallness. She taught math. E Yes! I remember how she wrinkled up her forehead when she explained something to the class. But : that cute little teacher by Miss- Rogers, who's she? : That's Miss Stephens, who taught biology. Mrs. Coon is just back of her. VVho will ever forget Mrs. E Coon? She always was so personally interested in her pupils. : She conducted chapel singing, and her judgment was always sought for in a contest, whether it was E debating, dramatics, or music, That's Miss Blackwell by her. She taught history, but she missed her call- : ing. She should have been a manager of a cafeteria. E And Mrs. Mattox just below her was a married teacher, still very much in love with her husband. : She taught Junior High School English and reading and spelling-gracious! Look what time it is. I must : be going. I wonder where all those teachers are this afternoon? VVell, goodhy. : Rosxam-A Hiwzzs.
