MISS ANNA MINEHAN WALLACE J. DOWNS ‘‘Here we are hoys, now got in the game. You gotta get this one.” These are words as familiar to the High School athlete as a family blessing to a preacher's son. Yes, they come from none other than our coach Downs as he lines the men for a game. They have results, too, as proof of this we can produce two perfectly good legs on the Mercer County championship cup. Mr. Downs' early days were spent at Greenville, Pa. As he was never allowed to go far from home, he attended Thiel College. Since his graduation in 1917, he has taught Science here and coached our teams. “Friends, Romans and Countrymen, lend ne your ears,” I shall return them with interest. Subject for discussion, Miss Minehan. As I attempt this speech so many facts crowd to the mind (hat one scarcely knows what to say first. Miss Minehan was planning soon to enter a new field of endeavor but the shortage of men due to war conditions has caused a postponement. Then too, travelling conditions between here and B—B—B—(Oh. I don t se ewhy I always stuter when I try to pronounce a word beginning with B)—well, travelling conditions are bad. Miss Minehan is a native of Sharpsville, where she graduated from High School. Since the completion of her college course at Grove City in 1915, she has taught Latin in our school. Ten

MRS. ALICE CULP TURNER As you will note from her name, Mrs. Turner is the only one of our teachers who has nerve enough to have a husband. This may not speak so well for the remaining ladies of the faculty but they say Mrs. Turner is blessed with a more beautiful voice than most girls with the result that: ‘Music hath charms. We arc always glad of the opportunity of hearing Mrs. Turner sing, not only for the real pleasure of hearing her music, but we appreciate the spirit which prompts her to give us such joy. Mrs. Turner is a graduate of Hiram College and has been teaching French and History in our schools for the past four years. MISS FRANCES LIVINOOOD Kindly take my advice, ladies and gentlemen, and nail fast all lawn chairs, porch furniture and the like as Miss Livingood is continually on the lookout for il suitable settings for our next play.99 M iss Livingood has travelled quite a distance but we are glad to say, arrived in time for the beginning of the year. She prepared for college at Snell Seminary, Berkly, California. From there she entered Leland Stanford Jr. University where she graduated in 1913. Her first years of teaching were at Myersdale, Pa. After two years there she changed to Homestead and thence to Farrell. Miss Livingood teaches English, directs the literary societies and cocahes our plays. Nine

MISS KATHRYN TROUP The regular disappearance of Miss Troup every Wednesday evening caused much excitement among the ranks of the faculty. The mystery was not solved until our last dance when the lady in question appeared on the floor and the grace with which she glided around caused us to forget such stars as 11 Madame Sherry. It then became evident that a dancing school had boon the cause of the Wednesday evening visits. Miss Troup became a member of the faculty one year ago, after graduation from Westminster College. 4 'Give me a Chalmers 'Six’ and you can keep all your men is Miss Stewart's motto. Not that she is a man hater. Oh. no! Far be it from that. Men are all right in their place, but who ever saw one who knew his place. Now a Chalmers will go when you want it and where you want it, but there is no such a thing in a man's vocabulary, is the way she puts it. Jovial, jolly and good natured, she is a friend of all. Fats, sleep, tennis and basket ball are a few of her hobbies. E'en though a Sharon girl Miss Stewart is a “dyed in the wool Farrell fan. Since her graduation at Grove City '17 she has taught History for us. Eleven
