ELM Kit FRENCH VANGILDER Here’s a mm who has n reason for every- thing he says, ami wants a reason for every- thing that Is told him. He must have asked a g.'eat number of questions about every- thing he saw or heard when he was a boy. That is one reason why he succeeded in being a chemist. He is yet very curious about things; he wants to know for the •»nke of knowing. He is very sympathetic and bkea to help those who are not yet familiar with the subject of chemistry. .MISS VIRGINIA JIT.IA VOC KRODT .Miss Vockrodl has been one of the muin- :tays of our school for six years. She takes an active part in the Y. YV. C. A. and has rendered valuable services as a Maple Leaves advise. . Sincerity and perseverance stand out prominently among her charac- teristics. MR. A. J. SHARADIN Although a new member of the High School Faculty this year. Mr. Sharadin has been exceptionally successful in two things. First, he developed strong teams in all b anches of athletics; and more difficult still, he succeeded in making study and quiet reign supreme in the study hall. 23

MISS KI TH UTILE KOSS This Titian haired lady arrived among us only this year, hut already she has made a place for herself in the hearts of a large number of students, including all the Fresh- men. In fact, she seems to make friends with everybody easily. She has a breezy, refreshing manner, altogether without affec- tation; a keen, wholesome, enthusiastic in- terest in life; and a strong sense of humor which serves her well. Her eyes are a mar- velous. deep, velvety brown, capable of ex- dressing any mood. She is well versed in the art of wearing clothes and always looks neat and pleasing. MR. F. FAY SMITH Mr. Smith taught in the High School the first semester, but he went about his work so quietly and with so few rebukes that those whom he did not teach hardly knew he was about. We appreciated his work very much and we regretted his departure at the end of the semester. MISS BESSIE JANE REED The better we know Miss Reed, the better we like her. She takes great interest in everything that appeals to young folks. She gives excellent service not only as librarian, but also in the various organiza- tions fo. girls in the High School. 22

 MISS RHEA WATSON WARDEN Here is one of the favorite teachers in the High School. One never hears a stu- dent express a dislike for her. Nature has been generous in bestowing upon her many talents. She is a musicain of no mean abil- ity. a graceful dancer, and is capable of teaching a variety of subjects. Her one hobby is crocheting, and one may see her at this task whenever she has spare mo ments. MR. BYRON WARDER When we think of Byron, it is as a stu- dent and not aH a member of the Faculty, for only last year he was just one of the bunch.” However, we all congratulate him on his new position and the success he has achieved in his work. MISS BEULAH WINIFRED WALKER Miss Walker is one of our own gi.'ls. She was graduated from the Fairmont High School in 1913, but in 1915 she cume back not as a student, but in the capacity of a teacher. As assistant to Miss Webster in the domestic science department, she has proved herself capable. 24
