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

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.

But that is her favorite pastime at Farrell Hi making life miserable for the bugs. Miss Chase is a native of Greenville, where she kept the teachers busy during her four years at Hi school. After graduation she decided to go away from home for a college education, so Allegheny College was chosen. Miss Chase came to Farrell at the beginning of this year after teaching one year at Randolph, N. Y. MISS ELEANOR SPANGLER Mathematics is generally considered an unpopular subject but this does not hold true at our school. Much of course depends upon the teacher. Now we do not care to tell tales out of school but, without being personal, can say that no less than one Senior has transferred his affections from Senior Mathematics to Sophomore. We may add that Miss Spangler teaches the Sophomore Geometry. In addition to teaching Mathematics, Miss Spangler had been actively engaged in war work. She has spent quite a little time in locating the 28th division. Wo are glad to note at present that they have arrived safely in America. Miss Spangler is a graduate of Bellevue High School and University of Pittsburgh. This is her first year teaching. Twelve
