l...-..s ZW? AQQEWMAL Recommendations With Apologies to the Faculty We of the Senior Class of 1931 wishing to be of assistance to any member of the Faculty desiring a new position, tender to you our heartiest recommendations in the form of a letter to the student bodies of other high schools. Vv'e recommend Miss Alsdorf to any school who has need of someone to keep order in the Study Hall while the roll is being taken. lust a word from her and the whole room is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop. If you are troubled with boys flirting with lady teachers she'll break them of it, or if you need someone to 611 a position which requires a solemn face when jokes are being cracked Miss Alsdorf will be suitable. And besides, Armenian men don't like to get her up on a stage and say nice things about her as they do about some teachers. Miss Alsdorf is a very steady young lady never looking at an unmarried man twice. She would rather talk about the lesson than about news events or a recent date. She is very plump and doesnt look as if she were a bit more than hfty which embarrasses her for she does not like to deceive anyone about her age. Mr. Himes, scientist, agriculturist, philosopher of C. H. S., may be recommended mostly for his kind daily reception of honored guests at the orlice caught at some trick. He pats them on the back and asks them how they were ever so awkward as to be caught at the trick. He tells them kindly in a soft voice, and twinkling eyes, to go back and be more careful the next time for it goes against his grain to see anyone but a slick crook leave C. H. S. ln his science classes he has acquired the great skill of littering his desk with all kinds of contraptions, spilling water all over the floorsand say, by the way, if you don't know your lesson he won't let you bluff for a time but will give someone else a chance instead of doing as some teachers-drawing you on and on and then laughing to think he has made a fool of you. Vkfe recommend Mr. leandrevin as a fine teacher in the psychology of love of which he speaks constantly when not speaking of something else. He never springs an examination when you're not looking for it, nor does he walk into the study hall without clearing his throat as a warning before he enters. When he gives a mid term examination he tells us that if we don't know the answer just look on our neighbor's paper: learning to be a parasite in school trains you to be a success. He has many other noble ideals, some of which are: 4 out of 5' failures in High School are a success in after life, therefore fail. The less I can make you do the better I'll sleep. Mr. Jeandrevin may also be placed as the most ardent believer of allowing whispering and wearing your hat on April lst in time of school. We recommend Mr. Metz to any school whose classes dislike Shakespeare for he dislikes to study him, himself. So you only hear of him occasionally in his classes, he also treats Bacon the same way. He never uses words that you cannot understand in English class nor does he ask you to use correct grammar in examinations. He never bawls you out if you act up in study hall or in classes, but just walks back to you and in a kind way asks you to be quiet. We might say here that the reason he is so lenient in the study hall is because he was such a good little boy when he went to school that he now sees his mistake and doesn't want the rest of us to pattern after him. If you don't like to hear any one talk about love you can't go wrong in having Mr. Metz, for you never hear him mention the word. fljage Twcntyfiiivwfl

We ...Dev-ve P wut ,g ivfg' I THE ANNUAL L - ww Senior Class Song 1931 Onward and Upward TO THE TUNE OF HGYPSY LovE soNG.'l The birds of the forest are calling to us And the shades and the glades are lonely, But life is here with its wonder and lust And we are absent only. None who have experienced contentment But sigh to leave you and neler return. All of our days we will bear no resentment But most of all, u'e'll miss you. The paths that we trod have a fancy for all And seern to reflect 'KXVe ue too long parted. Songs that were trolled by our comrades old Are not now as they were,--lightfhearted. Fond recollections fade with age But its nieinories will fnd and haunt us. All the years say, Mcfhough the battle goes Against us We must stand and fightfl CHoRUs Onward, upward, higher still As we dreani of days gone by, Can you see us, see us in the future Where our fancies rove? Onward, upward, higher still Seniors of C. H. S. Can you see what the future brings us 'True success for all. fPage 'Twenty-eightj

hnuldkw , iam 5 farms-an ws KW? Aflgldglgffmkb mathematics for with a little hint she will work your exams for you and give you A and promise to teach you English grammar the rest of the year instead of mathematics. Besides, if the student body loves to chew gum, here certainly is the teacher you want, for she'll take time out until you are all well supplied with a nicefsized cud and then will beg for some herself, for she thinks it helps to center your mind on your lesson. If you wish to pass notes, that is all right, too fif you don't get caughtj, but whispering'-especially when you're a Senior in a class of 5 or more-she won't allow it. But then she makes up for this by letting you have your book open during recitation often taking off several per cent if she sees that you have your book closed. Besides, best of all, she never sends one to the office. A We recommend Mr. Smith as the man who can make the dignity of the members of C. H. S., including the faculty, fall flat as a pancake by his jokes. He is an efficient manual training teacher especially for the girls whom he so ardently adores .He is the most studious teacher who watches over the study hall for he never raises his eyes from his opened manuscript. In calling classes he always knows when a half year subject is completed as in the case of Algebra II and Solid Geometry, for as soon as the second semester commenced he always called Solid Geometry by its correct name. The boys who take manual training under him report that their opinions never clash with his but that teacher and pupil always think just the same. Miss Studer, the smallest teacher of C. H. S., can well be recommended as a teacher of foreign languages. The originator and executor of C. H. S.'s easiest tests which consist only of true and false questions which she practically answers before the test begins. For girls who do not like gym she can be recommended as a teacher who will let you do as you please and if you don't want to take gym you may sit on the bleachers. She is also very efficient in translating French, for her translations are always correct. She is very good at patrolling the study hall. Everyone minds his own business and never gets a bawling out CTD. Miss Studer can also be recommended as the teacher who never makes her students keep large notebooks. Mr. Young, the ardent music teacher, can well be recommended as a public speaker for he has a powerful voice which makes the very auditorium resound when he speaks. His author' ity over his pupils is marvelous for quietness reigns immediately after he speaks. When he dem- onstrates his singing ability before his chorus the tones which issue from his small mouth almost carry us away in an ecstasy of delight. He is noted for letting the pupils choose the pieces they want to practice and thus they choose the old, snappy marches which they played when Mr. Teachout was here. fPage Thirtyl I ! ,n 0 1 N O c B B N :S Q. 5 ?' fl Z 4 E. :x O f. c D :s -4 CII 0 :- o 52. 2 :- N '1 0 FY :- N 'U c 'E?.
