William T. Ives Kathryn Kauffman Amos Ketchum Eloise Lewion Vaughn Millikan MR. IVES, the agriculture instructor and as- sistant coach, solemnly avers that his home life hasn ' t been of sufficient duration as yet to develop hobbies. Every time he starts to do so, his wife commands him to help with the dishes. Every now and then he slips away, however, to take in a round of golf. 5;fxM MISS KAUFFMAN, art supervisor, calmly and placidly gave out the information that she carries her art from the schoolroom into her home. There is no dividing line, she mused as she worked contentedly upon an exquisite piece of needle point. MR. KETCHUM, of manual arts, absolutely does not tinker at home. He gets all of that he wants at school. He peruses all the latest farm magazines on hogs with a view to raising bigger and better porkers. MISS LEWTON, of the English department, in- vites all and sundry to see the results of the entire Lewton family hobby, gardening. If you want to see something out of Home Beautiful, see the Lewton back yard in the flowering season. MR. MILLIKAN, bookkeeping, mathematics and commercial geography instructor, warns his wife and all sundry that after four o ' clock p. m. the davenport is his flopping ground. A ' cushy ' couch and today ' s newspaper is the life, beams Mr. Millikan. f iij, the}) ' re human — rea Zi; human Astounding and amazing thought In the sanctum of their oia n four rvalls They act as people really ought.

MR. DORWIN, informer en all historical sub- jects, says home is where you hang your hat. He very often (both winter and summer) re- sorts to caveman tactics by bundling up his wife and fishing tackle for a lake trip. Fish- ing ' s the life, declares Mr. Dorwin. MISS ELZEY, school librarian, takes a post- man ' s holiday after school hours by spending much of her time in reading. She also goes in for needle point. Summers she spends in lake resorting. MR. EVERHART, health and safety and physi- cal education director, spends many of his after-school hours reading juvenile fiction. However, Miss Janet Kay Everhart, aged five, is the reason for this particular choice of literature. MISS FRISINGER, renowned Latin teacher, likes to collect rare plants with funny-sound- ing names. Her windows are full of them. She ' s also a philatelist. Don ' t be alarmed! It ' s nothing contagious. Or is it? Miss Fri- singer is an addict of the deplorable habit, stamp collecting. MISS HAUBOLD, city music supervisor, racked her brain for something she liked to do around home. My piano, she said, is a constant companion and— oh, yes— I mustn ' t forget my httle dog, Skippy. T ' iel) musi be those instructors That through all schools do roam To know them as the]) reall]) are ril trail them to their home. 1 t ' i Deane Dorwin Glennis Elzey Sylvester L.

MR. MUMMA, teacher of English, divulged the information that his Solovox attachment on the piano not only amused, but amazed him by the sound effects thereby created. Some- times it sounds like heaven, he said. Some- times it sounds like — oh, yes, I forgot — I also do cabinet work and lurk in dark spots to take movies of unsuspecting victims. MISS PUMPHREY, coach of physical education (for ladies) , likes an easy chair, a ball of yarn and knitting needles. A good book, she ad- mits, is beguiling. Games also take up part of her time, if they are complicated enough; but she adds, There ' s nothing like a good, stiff game of bridge. MR. SELLEMEYER, band instructor, seemed puzzled when asked regarding hobbies be- yond school hours. There are no outside school hours. I carry on band lessons in my own home when I leave school. When I get through with that, there are more band les- sons. Then I sleep. MR. SMITH (history and geography) has very few hobbies— hardly any to speak of— just astronomy, Indian relics, archery, radio, and scout work. In between times he helps Mrs. Smith take care of the children and lends an Qccasional hand wit theTioyseXvprk. MISS WORTHMAN, guardian of home eco- nomics quarters, states that her home activities are neither intellectual nor arduous. They range from sleeping, plunking on the Piano to getting out and roller skating with the kid in the neighborhood-when she can steal their skates. For if you tvish to find a teacher Without art and free from guile Just catch him as he really is In his orvn protected domicile! Harold Mum ma Eleanor Pumphrey Albert Sellemeyer Lowell J.
