Page Eight When we began to split our atom, fragments emerged that carried the letters M. R. H. N. R. O. Finally, after hours of deep thinking, our scientists assembled the letters into the name Mr. Bohn, a busy man around this school—(the job of assistant principal is no lazy man’s job.) This man, who sincerely and quietly attends to his business, ven¬ tured to Emerson five years ago. Although we have caused an addition of age and gray hairs to his jolly head, he still possesses that same friendly personality that he had upon his arrival here. Mr. Bohn, who is ready to help anyone upon request, has proven his necessity as an important function of this atom!

I hanks to flic Faculty I lie atomic force behind Emerson school—the force which has led our school to high honors in the athletic, scholastic, and musical fields—has been, and always will be the teachers of our school. It is not an easy job that the teachers have. It takes patience patience when the students come to class late or haven't their homework done; tolerance—the willingness to teach all races and creeds of people; willingness to help—the desire to aid all children who need help in their studies or those students who have a problem other than one pertaining to school work. These qualities arc only a few of the many a teacher must have in order to he a really good teacher, hut these arc probably some of the most important ones. The students of Emerson are profoundly grateful to their teachers, if they aren’t now, they will be later on in life, for what they have done for them has been an invaluable aid to the students in choosing their life work and then carrying on that work successfully. I he following are a few of the expressions that our teachers use in their everyday classes: I larrison—“We arc marking these absent . . . ” Cromer—“Open your mouths!” Benscoter—“Very interesting. Well, here we go!” Gricger—‘It's your business to know!” Rowland—“You have the tendency.” Minn—“Where's that microscope?” Anderson—“1 want this study kept quiet?’ Ban— “We will have a test tomorrow, without notes.” Reynolds—“Last call for swimming.” I leimburg—“Why aren't you dressed?” Garriott—“Have those parts in order.” Beeler—“Gum chewing is not businesslike.” Newton— Nothing there today, is there?” Tinsman—“Have your insects ready.” Moell—“Be at rehearsal to night.” I lousekeeper—“Put your books in your desks neatly.” Clary—“Where's your executive ability?” I laves—“Get those pies on the counter.” Rolfe—“Don’t be an old woman!” Klug—“All right, shut up!” Sayers—“Everyone singing, please.” Ekeberg—“Debate meet tomorrow. Let's go.” Plum—“The library is no place to talk.” Madel—“Draw on everything but the walls.” Reyher—“Cierrcn Uds los libros.” Talbot—“Now, is that straight?” Adc—“Girls, please!!” Palmer—“You must know your lines!” Greenwald—“Now, listen, darlings!” Carlherg—“Are there any questions growing out of this chapter?” Malins—“Play more softly, please.” Wirt—“There's‘ a bolt missing here.” Smith—“Does the bell mean anything to you?” Pierce—“Have your work in tomorrow.” Connerly—Does everyone understand?” Portmess—“You know, my grandfather look part in—” Rowe—“Machines quiet.” Rogers—“Two swats, or you go to the office.” Connelly—“Pm going to take a poke at somebody in this room!” Page Seven

Page Nine When the school, our atom, is split, be sure that you do not over¬ look that intricate part called the office staff. I’ aithfully and efficiently they carried out their part of the job that makes this school run so smoothly. The sale of football and basketball tickets, the issuing of lock¬ ers, and the collecting of book rental are just some of the many jobs that they do. As a unit they worked together even though the war was over. Mrs. Biller, the “locker queen”, again kept everyone well satisfied. Hand¬ ling the big book-rental headache, Florence Caulk again excelled at her job. Marion Fickes lists the absentees and takes care of the book prob¬ lem. As guardian of the cash register and ticket seller, Dorothy Palasz continued at her job of financial secretary. Last, but not least, Miss Link, the students’ guide, carried on in her own quiet, friendly, efficient way. Standing: Mrs. Biller, Dorothy Palasz, Florence Caulk, Maureen Link Seated: Marion Fickes
