THE RED AND BLACK FOR19 MR. G.-XYLE H. Sox-treks Our faculty seems to be made up of Army men and Mr. Somers is no exception to the rule as he is a second lieutenant. He received the degree of Bachelor of Science at Pennsylvania State Forest College. Ile next studied at Yale where he received the degree of Master of Forestry. He studied for a time at Wooster and of late has been taking additional post graduate work at Bowling Green. He taught before this in Fulton County, Ohio. He is well fitted to teach the subjects he has, namely: American History and Civics, English History, and Agriculture. Be- sides his school work, Mr. Somers is Faculty Advisor of the Hi-Y, and takes much interest in the Parent- 'I'eacher's Association. Miss -M URL FRYIQ Miss Frye is the head of our Commercial depart- ment. She attended Bliss College, Franklin College, and Ohio State University. She taught two years in Cardington, Ohio before coming here. She teaches Stenography, Typing, and Oflice Practice, subjects with which most of us are unacquainted. Stenography is a language of funny little marks and dots on paper. Typing is the art of punching keys at the proper time and place to secure a line of words across a page, Otlice Practice is the study of proper forms of business letter writing. Miss Frye is very well versed in these mysteries and is able to make her students understand them fullly. She has been with us for four years and we hope to retain her for as manv more. .l7.
