Genevieve Stowe Miss Stowe, of our English Depigment, is still a firm believer m traveling, even af- ter she has returned from Europe, Mexico, Canada, and all of the United States. Dur- ing the summers since the war began, Miss Stowe has been helping the emergency by of fering her services to a rea estate company, reserving however, for less busy mo ments, the pursuit of her hob by of interior decorating. Anne Sutter Naturally since wc always find math teachers being ex- cellent bridge players, we would expect Mrs. Sutter to name this game as one of her pastimes. After bridge, come gardening and housekeeping — her outside of school hour in- terests. Jane Terhell Naturally interested in sports, Mrs. Terhell derives much en- joyment from bowling and golfing. Her pride and joy is her daughter, who after at- tending college, acquired a position in a research labora- tory of the Sun Oil Company. Mrs. Terhell became a mem- ber of the DeVilbiss teaching staff seven years ago Daisy Van Noorden It you should walk into Miss VanNoorden ' s third hour class around November first, you would find her busily filling Red Cross boxes for the chil- dren of England. At almost any other time you will find her doing anything she can do to help the Junior Red Cross. Miss Van Noorden has been with DeVilbiss since it pencil. David Voss When Mr. Voss sailed the Mediterranean in 1922, visit- ing those countries, he took the advantage of the oppor- tunity of adding to his col- lection of stamps and coins. Mr. Voss, President of the Faculty, is also an adviser of the Senior Class, the Roman Club, and the Chess Club. Marjorie Warner Miss Warner, a native Tole- doan, has been with DeVilbiss since its opening year. She has traveled to Europe once, and to the West several times. Miss Warner ' s interests are :entered around the study of current events, photography, dressmaking, hiking, playing the piano, and the reading of timely books. Carrie Whaley Outside of school walls, Mrs. Whaley is a very busy woman and immensely enjoys her du- ties .1 round her farm taking care of her garden and chick- ens, her four dogs and her cat. Some of the more im- portant activities that took up her time before she became preoccupied by her farm, were traveling to England, and Eu- rope in 1930. Mrs. Whaley was one of those who attend- ed the ceremony of the turn- ing i ! the first ground for I tcVilbiss. Ethel Willoughby Miss Willoughby, a native of [ oledo, began her teaching in DeVilbiss the year the high school opened. Those who know Miss Willoughby know- she appreciates and under- stands and enjoys music. Philip Zaugg Mr. Zaugg ' s particular inter- ests seem to be quite diversi- fied — his woodshop work, his three children, his music. During the summer you might find him attending summer school, working in a factory, or participating in summer opera. Norma Hayes Eight years ago Mrs. Hayes came from Waite High School to work in the DeVilbiss ca- feteria. For the last several years she has served our school as the head dietician. Mrs. Hayes is particularly well suited to her work because foods have been her hobby ever since she was a girl. iLakA 29

Eva Samsen Mildred Schmidt Ursula Schmit Leah Schueren Edith Schwenke As though teaching Geometry and Trigonometry weren ' t enough. Miss Eva Samsen ex- tends her interest in young people as adviser to the Junior Class and to the Junior Friendship Club. Her sense of humor and her slide rule are legends of DeVilbiss and though her travels have taken her all over the country, she has always come back to 201. Miss Schmidt, a native Tole- do.! n. has taught in our S( ience Department ten years. All sports, particularly ice- skating, are enjoyed by Miss Schmidt. Traveling through the Panama Canal, motoring around our country — have been of the greatest interest and pleasure to this teacher. Miss Schmit is a newcomer to DeVilbiss this year but she has fitted herself into the school activities with ease. Her interest in art and drama- tics has been used by the Se- n ; or Play Committee to great advantage. As an organizer she has proved her capability, i t present she is president of the Toledo School Women ' s Club, an organization whose membership consists of nearly all the women teachers in the city. Miss Schueren, who has trav- eled extensively in the United has hobbies that in- clude books, the theater, con- certs, nature study, young children, and teen-age young- sters. She has loved books and greatly valued the art of reading since girlhood days. Today, she enjoys beautiful poetry, good drama, interest- ing biography, notable travel hooks, profitable fiction. As I ' brarian, she strives to bring people and hooks together. Seven times the cultural cen- ters of Lurope have been isited by parties conducted by Mrs. Schwenke. In Paris, France, Mrs. Schwenke was pnnupal of the American H igh School . Coming to us from Scott, she became a member of the original teach- ing staff of DeVilbiss and has remained with us ever since. Mrs. Schwenke, very much in- terested in art and music, en- joys frequently the facilities i it It-red by the Toledo Muse- um of Art. Maria n Smith Many and varied are her in- terests — music, ballet, poetry, dude ranclting. Miss Smith grows fifty different roses, studies piano, collects Early American glass and recipes. Languages have been almost a hobby since high school days: French, Spanish, Latin, German, and most recently, Portuguese. Her travels have taken her to Europe, Canada, Cuba, Panama, Mexico, and thirty states. Last summer she was chosen by the government for spec ial study in the Spanish Language Institute in Me im City. Ruth Smith Vacationing on a dude-ranch in the Colorado Rockies, mo- toring in the East and West, sailing to Europe, England, and Calif ornia— a 11 are things Miss Smith hopes to resume hen peace makes them pos- sible. Until that time comes, graduate study in English in a Vermont college takes her East each summer. During the sc hool year, her weekly Red Cross volunteer service as a Gray Lady in Flower Hospi tal might be said to be hei hobby. At present Miss Smith is working toward her second two-hundred hour stripe. Barbara Spayd Miss Spayd is another inter- esting person on the DeVilbiss lac u 1 ty and is espec i ally re- membered for being the editor of school editions of novels and poetry. Since Miss Spayd has traveled to Canada, almost .-11 of the United States, Ire- land, Scotland, and England. it is not surprising that one ' hould discover traveling as her hobby — this, together with reading, greatly interests her. D. N. Stalker Last summer after an absence .I seventeen years, Mr. Stalk- er returned to the Merchant M.n me, and he is planning on signing up again as soon , ' s this school term is over. During his service he has made numerous trips to Eu- rcpe, as well as to the Dutch East Indies.
