Mlss ANITA RICE, who teaches senior social studies and American History, is a graduate of the University of Kan- sas, where she earned her degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Arts. She has also attended Washburn College at Topeka, the University of California and the University of Wisconsin. Miss Rice likes to travel, read or knit in her spare time. Miss Curry Mr. McCune When FLOYD MCCUNE, teacher of the Senior Social Studies classes, was called by the service in March of this year his classes were taken over by Miss Charlotte Curry. Miss Curry taught for several years in the Lowther Junior High School and renewed acquaintances with some of the students she taught in the ninth grade. Band and Orchestra It was quite a problem to find a successor for ORMOND PAIKKILR when he left for the Navy, but finally Orin Dalley of lfmporia State College agreed to teach bancl and Miss lfdith Bunch, who has taught music in the Emporia public schools for a number of years, took over the baton to direct the stringed instruments. Mr. Dalley received his degrees from the University of Wisconsin and studied under the Sibelius in Finland. During the Past Year Gizoitoxz Lomas and JOHN E. BECK spent several nights a week teaching home mechanics to adults, many of them parents of senior high students. Miss Ruth Woodbury had charge of the sewing classes and Hugh Brogan, head of the adult education course, was in charge of the local classes which met for ten week periods in the fall and at the be- ginning of the year. Other classes were public speaking taught by George Pflaum, farm production instructed by ll. W. Taylor and Luther Williams, typing by Mrs. Wood Bloxom, shorthand by Mrs. Bernard Kelly, and accounting by F. L. Robinson. The instructors have all done a fine job to help many people help themselves during the present labor shortage. Vocational Agriculture Tuesday and Wednesday nights of every week since january, 1940, have been busy ones at the Vocational Agriculture building. Farmers who enroll by 30-day periods come for miles around to overhaul mowing machines, rakes, and build trailers, which was only a small part of the jobs they undertook. J. W. TAYLOR, teacher of the Vocational Agriculture classes, had worked overtime with his regular classes and the night classes too. Much credit is due Mr. Taylor for his fine work. Mechanics taught six classes a week of auto 14 boys enrolled. Besides studying and trucks they also assemble and disassemble them. The boys take care of their own and the family cars doing overhauling and repair work. Auto Liswis HANSEN has mechanics this year with the parts of automobiles Miss CHARLOTTE CURRY has taktn over Mr McCunes Senior Social Studies classes for the rest of the school year. Miss Curry, who is a graduate of the College of Emporia, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree, and the University of California, from which she has her Masters degree, is fond of cats and, when time permits, likes to braid rugs. School Nurse Our school nurse, Miss STELLA E. KLEIN, has had varied and interesting experiences which include teaching school, being superintendent of nurses at the W. A. Foote Memorial Hospital, public health nursing, and her work here in the schools. Miss Klein took her nurses' training at the Wichita Hospital Training School and did post- graduate work in hospital administration at Grace Hospital, Detroit, Michigan. She enjoys her work in the schools and is certainly kept busy guarding the health of so many students. Miss Petty Miss MARY D. Pia'r'rY received her Bachelor of Science degree in commerce and education at the Kansas State Teachers College and is going to finish her B. U. this summer at the Denver University. For the past year she has been teaching a bookkeeping elass in Room ZOA. Her hobbies are knitting, reading and dramatics, although she says she doesn't get much time to do them now. Pre-induction Test Pre-induction or knowledge tests were given in the spring by Hugh Brogan to all boys who were of pre- induction age. Almost all of the junior and Senior boys took at least one of these tests. There were seven different types: civics and government, mechanical aptitude, mental ability, American history, silent reading and arithmetic. These tests were given for the purpose of showing the boys which subject they are weakest in, so they will have a chance to refresh themselves in these subjects before enter- ing the service. A refresher course in the fundamentals of arithmetic was given by Kathryn Zenor and Supt. W. M. Richards, each having a class which began one hour before school each morning. Emporia High in War Work Emporia Senior High has done their part towards the war effort in Red Cross work. It has made baby gowns and shirts, mcnis robes, two afghans, drapes for the win- dows of the Winter General Hospital in Topeka, and con- tributed books and S10 to the money drive. The first paper drive brought 34 tons of paper and the second one totaled a half ton of rags and 20 tons of paper. Girl Reserves made 53 utility kits for the soldiers at Winter General Hospital. The public schools all worked together selling bonds and stamps to purchase a P-51 Mustang pursuit plane. E121
