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

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

MR. ISAAC PROSSER J. E. STREBIG Keep your scats ladies. Those in the front row kindly remove their hats so that the second row occupants can see. Introducing Strebig, the man of the hour about Hi School when anything is needed quickly, play producer par excellent, general property man when it cornea to constructing scenery for shows. Yes, he is married, but you wouldn't think it if you once saw how late he stays around the school building. Mr. Strebig is a graduate of Williamson Trade School and in addition to the many things stated above, finds time to take charge of the Industrial Education. Wales was certainly kind to us when she allowed our music teacher to depart, from her borders. Mr. Prosser has spent his many years in this country at his profession of musical instruction. Until this year he was engaged in private and church work, but he has entered his new field, that of public teaching, with as much enthusiasm and interest as was evident in his former efforts. The High school orchestra and the boys' and girls' Glee Clubs are under his supervision. We are glad to see the results of his instruction because of the joy that music brings to us. Fourteen
