f la eafnmanicaje Last lfehruary Hamilton moved out. 'llhat event appealed to the Fresno High students. liut last l ehruary when lllrs. Simpson, too, de- parted from the school of champions , the FHS students definitely were not happy. To the memhers of her lfnglish classes and the CSF she was an amiahle, active teacher and sponsor, re- spectively. Both faculty and students at Fresno High wish her a like measure of success and good will at Hamilton. Dan Cupid caught up with one memher of the lfresno lligh faculty this year. lN'lrs. Cahn, formerly Miss Schottstaedt. was married shortly after the mid-year graduation. ln addition to teaching many lfnglish classes thoroughly and interestingly, Nlrs. Cahn has time for many other school activities, chief among them heing co-sponsor of the class of '42 and of Quill and Scroll. W'here art thou, lllr. Rees? is the wail of the hewildered student who vainly seelcs the tall lfnglish teacher. hir. Rees trains future dramat- ists in two classes and then ventures to the audi- torium or dramatics room, wherever one of his numerous plays is going on. Then he rushes hack to his room to conduct radio class. Always on the go, Mr. Rees directs all of the school plays and manages the radio class performances on the air. 'llhe revised old saying, Strangers rush in where angels fear to tread. might he applied to Mr. Hallherg, newly initiated memher of the faculty. Immediately upon his arrival. lX'Ir. Hallherg was appointed coach of the Class C haskethall crew and sponsor of the Owl. On top of this he conducts four Ifnglish classes. lVith all of these activities, it is hard to imagine how he gets a minute's relaxation. lncidentally, it is rumored that he proof reads stories to go to sleep instead of counting sheep.

Sixlefn 'GMM X'Vhen the tire rationing went into effect. the students of Mrs. Emily IJ. Anderson began to worry for fear that she would no longer be ahle to come to Fresno High to show them how fing- lish should he mastered. For hlrs. Anderson is one of those individuals who till the soil just this side of Nladera. Undaunted and as cheer- ful as ever, llflrs. Anderson still rolls out of hed while all good Fresno High young men and women are still snuggled peacefully under their covers and drives to school. If one needs to learn how to tackle difficult English phrases and how to hlock unruly sen- tences, he needs only to take a course of senior composition work from Nlrs. Harhers. Senior composition is a course designed primarily for the student who wishes to brush up on his vo- cabulary. spelling, and punctuation hefore taking college entrance examinations. YVell-known is lllrs. Harher's room, which is a 'lcatch-all for miscellaneous articles invaluahle to the national defense effort. She also effectively hacked the Red Cross drive in Fresno High. Uelving deep into the heart of English gram- mar hooks in order to present her students with authentic and helpful information, lNIrs. Briggs exacts fine work from her classes. For five pr-- riods every school day she holds forth in room N 20, where she teaches English -l and advanced composition. Not satisfied just to give her Stll- dents an insight into English principles of grani- mar and composition, Mrs. Briggs makes the course more interesting and informative hy teaching the intricacies and finer points of the language. Up to this year, two names which were al- ways linked voluntarily together were those of Miss Hilda Moeller and the Owl, the Fresno High yearbook. An ardent and precise English teacher, Miss Moeller was, prior to last Septem- her, the faculty advisor of the Fresno High an- nual. Last February she hecame the newly ap- pointed co-sponsor of the class of '-l5. Aside from this, she is also successfully planning a renascence of the Quill and Scroll, the honorary journalism society.
