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

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 FLORENCE DONLIN Miss Donlin hails from Meadville and is a booster of her home town. Mcadville, as you know, is an educational center yet Miss Donlin boasts of “scalps” from all its institutions. “Sheep skins” from Mcadville High, Allegheny College and Meadvilie Commercial College all decorate the walls of her room. Her special line of work is commercial. We are glad to note that Miss Donlin's services are rendered to the school in more ways than one. Her health hints to the girls are excellent to say the least. A few of these follow: “Never go on hazardous trips unless accompanied by a physician.” “In case of loneliness always consult a doctor.” “Never practice the arm movement when riding in a roadster.1 MISS EDICE REIDER The “dough boys” in France never were held in higher esteem than some “dough girls” in America. Needless to say Miss Reider was keenly disappointed at the government 's action in choosing male army cooks. There was particularly one regiment made up mostly by one particular individual to which Miss Reider would not have objected to have been assigned. From the reports of teachers and pupils from the domestic room, we do not hesitate to say that the regiment in question certainly would have been favored if Miss Reider would have had her desires. The teachers are all eager for Miss Reider s cooking day to come around. M iss Reider is a New Castle girl and a graduate of the four years' course at Margaret Morrison. Fifteen
