MISS MARCUERITE CARNAL, the Spanish senorita, was imported from Kansas. Spanish and French Clubs in her charge enioy being allowed to sing popular songs translated into those languages. Five hours a day of English, speech and Latin classes are enough for the average person, but MISS EDITH WENTWORTH'S afterschool hours are crammed with Curl Reserve activities and the coaching of debate teams and speech contestants. English plus economic geography rounds out MR. L, C. COLVlN'S daily schedule. He was one of the faculty members who so nobly punched athletic tickets at the entrance of each game. Try to stump him on figures of populations of various cities, LOWEIQ GROUP--Librarian and History Department- History really isn't a burden under the supervision of these professors . Without a library, our history reports would be fewer, without our history reports, MISS IRMA WlTTKE'S burden would be lighter and that would never do, One of hr-r many accomplishments was the staging of the PTA program concerning her surroundings . . . books. Through key words, maps, projects, and class discus- sions, MISS CERTRUDE ADY led her class through the important dates of history. She was our constant re- minder not to be late to class. After her senior supervision last year, MISS LOUISE COUCI-I thought she would settle down tor a year of peace and quiet. But fate was against her! Aside from instructing her history and English classes, she served on various committees destined to help the welfare of the school. MR. I, E. MONTGOMERY should have been a Con- gressman, for he is thoroughly informed about the cur- rent events. However, he never forgets one single bat- tle of the Civil War. He often relieved his class of the date-learning routine by current events, round table discussions and floor talks, GROUP BELOW-Home Economics and Manual Arts Departments. These departments fit students for prac- tical vocations immediately after their high school courses. Those savory odors floating down the first floor halls issue from the foods lab with MISS MARGARET MERZ in charge. She is also adviser for the Home Economics Club, The striking new spring styles that are seen about are created in Room IZZ. lt is a sure thing that MISS CERTRUDE KELLMAN'S invaluable suggestion has led to the pleasing result. Each has also a class under her wing: Miss Kellman guides the iuniors with a steady hand and Miss Merz has charge of this year's not so flighty freshies, MR. CHARLES KITTLESON coaches light-weight basketball and his hard-working classes in printing are the endless source of supplies, posters, programs-V-dance programs a specialty. Many a class room is supplied with a much needed bookcase or shelf by MR. E. C. LlNDCiREN'S crew from the wood-working class. Be- neath all the glory of a stage set you will find founda- tions set up painstakingly by willing hands from this dev partment. MR. PAUL FURR'S room is a haven for the agri- culture-minded and headquarters for the FFA. He has ably directed the noon hour program for the past two years. MR. I. H. TREES in the automechanics lab can make anything with four wheels run. The boys on the teams demonstrate that under his training schedule they can run too, Snapshots7Print shop, foods lab, wood-working shop. .1- i 3
