J n I u U . Mr. Joseph Rose, teacher of Spanish and French, has, among other attributes, a wicked baseball arm, an unpredictable golf slice, a B.A. from Rice Institute, and teaching credentials from San Diego State College, hie also has a wife, which fact sets him apart from an institution of confirmed celibates. Mr. Robert Jardine, instructor of manual training and drawing, is noted for his love of buttermilk, his prowess at horse-shoes, and his trips to Madera. HHis marriage philosophy should prove interesting to anyone who inquires. Due to his popularity, a multitude of nick-names have been given this San Jose graduate. Mr. Leonard Lyndon, expert on how to obtain a good physique, maintains his popular classes in the gym. In the course of his stay at Flintridge, this Occidental- trained hHercules has been able to lift the Flintridge morale and swimmers to the top of those in Southern California. MR. JOSEPH W. ROSE MR. ROBERT C. JARDINE MR. LEONARD V. LYNDON

Pl[l I] MR. MALCOLM G. DICKINSON Headmaster Mr. Malcolm G. Dickinson was a member of the original school faculty, and he has been Headmaster since 1934. When his time is not taken up with the duties of his office, Mr. Dickinson presides over the science branches of the school curriculum. Impressing the boys with his imposing list of degrees, (B. A. degree from Pomona College, M. A. from Claremont College, gradu- ate work at the University of Southern California, and research with the Hancock Pacific Expeditions) Mr. Dickinson follows through with a thorough and brain-curdling course. Mr. Dickinson is extremely interested in sports, (one of which some students claim is demerit-giving) and while in school he did a great deal of track work. Now, however, his only exercise comes during the annual drubbing taken by the faculty in baseball.

n n f1 u U . Mr. Lawrence Myers, history instructor, is the venerable sage of Flintridge. In keeping with his character, his classes are always the epitome of unruffled calm, and he is known for the strict moral tone of his lectures. A graduate of U.C.L.A., Mr. Myers needs all his intellect to guide his junior proteges. Mr. Carol Vaniman, graduate of La Verne and Claremont colleges, and in- structor in mathematics, likes nothing better than to rope a stray cow during vacation. One time when he returned from one of these forays, he bore signs of having been attacked by a maddened bull. hHis pupils all said it was the first time the bull had ever thrown a teacher. Mr. Thomas Lynch, who heads the Latin and English departments, often speaks to his students about ' a pari ' , and ' a fortiori ' , but there is one ' pari ' argument which has him stumped. Through an education gained at Gonzaga, U.S.C, and many other colleges, Mr. Lynch has received enough wisdom to guide the seniors. MR. LAWRENCE T. MYERS MR. CAROL C. VANIMAN MR. THOMAS A. LYNCH
