A worthy pro- motion to a worthy man. Learning fast about the ins-and-outs of students and their idio- syncracies is Mrs. Kern.

' 1 I . ' V , . ' .« R. A. Adams Sigurd Anderson Hugh Andrews W. Guy Brown Harry D. Dailey MR. ADAMS, science teacher and epitome of gray-haired dignity, spends many quiet hours at home studying and delving into new meth- ods of educational research. He enjoys above all, summers on the farm. MR. ANDERSON, commerce teacher, spends many of his hours after four o ' clock with a certain young lady who calls him Daddy. That in itself is a wonderful vocation and a mighty big job, he solemnly warns the world. MR. ANDREWS, head of the physical educa- tion department, has a multiplicity of out- side occupations. Upon being pressed he said that he just usually visited around among the family. He likes to read all literature that has a historical background. MR. BROWN, principal, informed the consult- ing reporter that he and Mrs. Brown spend many of their hours at home evaluating the news. They are both avid newspaper readers as well as listeners of news-digests over the radio. The mutual pooling of such informa- tion gives them a background rich in current events of the day. Mr. Brown says he finds such evaluation,a-VaTuabi asset as pertains to his teapil o of civics. MR. DAIL W, extremely noisy mathematics teacher, ends his hours at home tinker- ing. Whenever she ' s able, Mrs. Dailey pulls him away from his odd-jobbery for a little round of social calls, bridge and the like. Who are these folios of noble mien Looking stern and quite austere They cant be students y;oung and ga They look i trifle too severe.
