MISS ELIZABETH CHASE “Oh wait! Here is a bug.99 Has any one ever heard the pedigree of one of those animals which happens to stray in Miss Chase's path? Yes, she is simply “ buggy about. Zoology. 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

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 HELEN BIGLER There arc so many interesting events in Miss Bigler’s life to lx told that neither time nor space will allow us to give even a brief account here. We .suggest, however, that all persons who are interested, spend their noon hour in the Domestic Science room where each day she plays the leading role in a one act comedy entitled “Alspice.” Indeed the characterization and impersonations given at these cooking comedies” would make many stage stars fade away like milk at a flies’ convention. But don’t think she is always joking. If you visit one of her classes you will sec the stern realities of life depicted in a most dramatic manner. We think however that four years in Grove City High and four years in Grove City College ought to take some of the joy out of life. Miss Bigler arrived at the beginning of this year C. O. D. from Em lenton, Pa. MISS HELEN RODGERS Miss Rodgers, although far, far away from home, is happy with us so long as she can convince us that ”A stitch in time saves nine.” She is the only teacher who stuck with us throughout the period of the ‘ Flu ’ ’ epidemic, but when she decided to entertain Mr. Flu she travelled all the way back home where we could not send any more than our sympathies. Miss Rodgers is a graduate of Indianapolis, Ind. High School and Purdue University. She teaches sewing in the Household Arts Course. Thirteen
