and Conversetl With Wit 'VP 'N...,...f 4 Miss DORIS GRANT MR. GERARD HOWLEMAN Miss Grant . . . Really put yourself into your part! encouraged the devoted coach of our senior play. As sophomores, we studied English under her guidance. The theatre, reading, interior decorating, and auctions are her first loves. Mr. Hottleman . . . Look out for that tree! frequently shouted our driving instructor and English teacher. His pupils thankfully agree that he has no nerves. After school hours he may be seen coaching the baseball team or perhaps uroughing it up with his two sons. Miss Murdock . . . Watch it there! These words of warning had a quieting effect on the classes taught by this gracious English teacher who patiently helped us to cope with the intricacies of grammar. Miss Murdock takes pleasure in traveling, reading, lectures, theatre, To Tell the Truib, and in general just being with people. Miss Guell is not only a competent English-teacher, but also an avid sports enthusiast and frequent spectator at D.H.S. games. Her outside interests are arts and crafts and Irish drama.
