And now let us enter the high school building and see the members of the faculty as they appeal' at work. THE FACULTY

Page 14 text:

THE FACULTY The teachers who form the instructive basis upon or from which we students carry on nearly all school activities are very important. Esther Gill will tell you something about them. Thank you, Dorthy. A few weeks ago the teachers came to school all dressed up. They were all smiles and in a very good mood. They knew, as we soon discovered, that they were making preparation for this great broadcasting event by having their pictures taken. I am glad to present such a fine faculty, and I feel that the school is more than jus- tified in being proud of them. Our teachers are very well fitted to the subjects they teachg therefore, we have able and efficient instructors. Miss Grosswege is teaching al- gebra to her classes from a work book of her own composition which makes her distin- guished in this field, Public speaking, being synonymous to stage fright, would be greatly slighted by many students if it were not for Mr. Brown's ability and personality which make the course very popular among the students. We pride ourselves also in having one of the best equipped high school chemical laboratories in the, state. This equipment together with a very capable teacher make this science very popular. No department of school activities has been abused by employing incompetent in- structors: Our athletic division, which plays no minor part in school life, is moving for- ward' under its present supervisors, Miss McCammon Mr, Cauldwell and Mr. Francis. The co-operation of participants in these sports commands the .interest and loyalty of the student body. We have a fine music department, which is steadily progressing under the direction of Mr. Gillkie. Our band and chorus are assets to our school. The English teachers have been very successful in their corresponding activities such as coaching our debating teams and directing plays. Mr. Nuding has very success- fully supervised the publishing of this, our Crescent. Every teacher will long be remembered bv some individual trait that clearly distin- guishes him or her .from all other teachers. Mr. Ashton's story of the Chief Bone of Contention is almost as traditional as Miss Cox's Basket. Miss Allen surely knows all the important dates from the time of the cave men until the present dav. Probably the only dates she does not know are those best remembered by the girls and boys. Miss Nash knows not only how to record cash receipts, but, according to the Senior Trip Fund Barometer, how to bring cash in. You, no doubt, have fondly gazed in admiration at the men who have .excelled in book knowledge and who then have marchei on into higher realms of technical profes- sions. Those men may be great, but we, the students, feel that greater honor is due to our teachers who have risen in various fields of learning but have turned, and re- traced their steps to the high school, that they might direct us in laying the founda- tion for our future lives. We sincerely appreciate the ability of our instructors in the various subjects they teach and for the cooperation and interest that is a common factor in their attitude to- ward each pupil. I shall conclude my introduction of the teachers by inserting a poem of my origi- nal composition. I have entitled this poem The Modern School Ma'am. THE MODERN SCHOOL MA'AM The old school ma'am has ceased to be, N0 dlffe1'ehCeS,0he may h0YV 9-Ver The hickory stick, wood stoves, and she, Between llhehlgh School glfl 3-hd her- . The battered bench and dunce's stool Those spafkllhg eyes and Dlh-Chrled hall' Left when they barred the old log school.

Have made ehew 'Che School of today- With the rush of modernismsy Of all the plans to help our schools, Adanced ideas. and other isms Recreation and modern tools Good Father Time has brought with him Of every Seheme they ve Hut to test, A new school maam, pretty and prim. The modern school ma'am is the best. -ESTHER GILL I THE FACULTY 10
