This year was no exception in the production of a successful run of plays by our librarian. Miss Shelby. Mr. Snider, our new basketball coach, has already won the admiration and respect of students and faculty. He also teaches civics, health and gym. The Sunshine Society thrives under the sponsorship of Miss liick-enhuugh. who teaches general business, shorthand, and typing. Mr. Scales, our attendance d ir e c t o r. also teaches algebra, plane geometry, and sponsors the Student Council. PAGE TEN Ceasar himself would pick no one but our own Miss Swartz, sponsor of the Latin Club, to teach his native tongue. Students will agree that her Knglish and public speaking courses are also tops in interest. You had better know your facts before arguing with Mrs. Tyler, who directs the work of the debators and teaches Spanish and Freshman Knglish. Mr. ltuby, our chief biologist. reigns supreme in room 8A, the new science lab. Under his coaching our cross country and track teams have set new records. Ever seeking new ways of enlivening her history and civics classes. Mrs. Seamonson enchants them with incidents from the pages of the past.

Wedding bells rang for our Miss Ebel, a per¬ manent resident of room 9 and its ANNEX. The new Mrs. Schafer teaches Sophomore English, commercial arithmetic, and spon¬ sors the EXCALIBUR.

He also sponsors the Machin¬ ist’s Club. Mr. Cochran, who lives a life of danger amid test tubes, Bunsen burners, and students, teaches chemistry physics, advanced algebra, plane geom¬ etry, and sponsors the Science Club.

Miss Richards of the art depart¬ ment is one of our newly-acquired faculty members. Our high school artists whose murals decorate our halls show evidence of her be¬ hind-the-scenes coaching. The unusual is expect¬ ed and usually occurs in Miss Lauterbur’s English, journalism, and typing classes, for her journalistic arts extend far beyond her sponsorship of the INK¬ LINGS. Every year brings her back, we are happy to say, to the English Department and C. P. H. S. This year Mrs. Mracek teaches Fresh¬ man. Sophomore, and Junior English. I write no poem men’s hearts to thrill, No song I sing to lift men’s souls; To battle front, no soldiers lead; In halls of state I boast no skill; I just teach school. I just teach school. But poet’s thrill. And singer ' s joy, and soldier’s lire. And stateman ' s power—all—all are mine; For in this little group where still I just teach school Are poets, soldiers, statesmen—all; I see them in the speaking eye. In face aglow with purpose strong. In straightened bodies, tense and tall. When I teach school. And they, uplifted, gaze intent On cherished heights they soon shall reach. And mine the hands that led them on! And I inspired—therefore content, I still teach school. Mrs. Palmer, our cap¬ able girls’ gym and health teacher, also puts her time and talents into the G. A. A. If any occasion in C. P. H. S. called for food. Miss Porter, home economics teacher, would whisk it out of nowhere. She carefully plans our school lunches. PAGE ELEVEN
