S Dr. Christensen is one of the few members of the Fresno High faculty who have a Ph. ll. de- gree. A newcomer to the school, Dr. Christen- sen, affectionately called Alloc , teaches elemen- tary physics and mathematics. Because of the closeness of the war to the Pacific Coast, an air raid precautions committee had to be formed at Fresno High. and he was appointed its head. profoundly concerned with the vvhy's and wherefore's of chemistry, lX'Ir. Kenneth Thunem strives to teach chemistry in such a way that everyone who takes it will enjoy as well as un- derstand it. Un the side, he tutors the league- dominating Class B basketball team and spon- sors the Engineers' Club. This makes Mr. Thunemls program an ambitious one.

She received her teaching credentials after attending Fresno State College and the University of Southern California. For txvo years bliss hlauze taught here at Fresno High. Both the faculty and the students would welcome her return to FHS. Russia had lvlendeleef and his Periodic Law of atomic weightsg England had Davy and his safety lampg but Fresno High has hflr. Nicholas Bondoc and his super method of determining the coefficients in solving equations. Mr. Bon- doc familiarizes his students with the principles of chemistry. Sponsor of the Photography Club and co-sponsor of the CSF, he truly has a man- sized job.

iwzwza' ,aw Uffea wma, Boys! It your gal knits you a snappy sweater tor your hirthday, you can het your last penny that Miss Belle lfleanor Short, the clothing teacher, helped her. Courses in clothing are in such demand that Miss Short devotes four pe- riods to explaining and teaching the art of mali- ing clothes. Two of these classes study advanced clothing. Miss Dorothy KI. Parker, home economics teacher, is known by the girls of Fresno High, for she teaches our young women how to pre- pare balanced meals as well as favorite delica- cies. ln home problems Bliss Parker answers many questions that arise in efficient home man- agement. The girls are also taught the impor- tant features of good grooming. Art students of FHS receive their foundation training in the free hand drawing classes of hliss Klay R. Alcfardle. ln these two interesting semesters, which are required for the advanced art courses. they are taught perspective and color needed to succeed in the fine arts. Miss Kle- Cardle also teaches leathercraft. She is active in the city teachers' association. Mid-year graduation went off according to Hoyle, save for the loss to Fresno High of four faculty members. lVIr. Cyril Grundy was one of those teachersg his exodus was a blow to the Fine Arts department. lVIr. Grundy, it was announced, was to arrive in Excelsior High near Los Angeles, where he would take charge of the art and stage craft classes. ' 'gX S X 'Q lN2:?,TliQ'1-..
