Every student in school is influenced in some way by the training and person¬ ality of those who teach him. The State of Michigan carefully regulates and su¬ pervises the training and certification of all teachers in order to make sure that only fully qualified instructors be in every class room. Let us introduce our faculty members. Mr. Stanley Benjamin, Superintendent, is a graduate of Albion College, A.B., and of the University of Michigan, M.A. Due to increased responsibilities, Mr. Benjamin has had to give up his classroom teaching. Mr. Wesley Burrell, High School Principal, Michigan State Normal, A.B., and the University of Michigan, M.A., teaches classes in ' American History and English Literature. Mrs. Louise Barnaby, Western Michigan College of Education, B.S., who has for the past two years been Smith-Hughes instructor in Home Economics, will re¬ main at home when this year has ended. Mrs. Ruth Burrell, Western Michigan College, A.B., and the University of Michigan, M.A., has filled the posts of Li¬ brarian, Physical Education, and Junior Class Advisor. Mrs. Thelma Edwards, Hillsdale College A.B., teaches all commercial subjects. Band, chorus, and instrumental music are supervised by Mr. Willard Hahnenberg, Western Michigan College, B.M.

It is the wish of the Class of 1952 to honor the mothers and fathers whose help and guidance have surrounded us through the years. It is but a small return for all the big and little things they have done for us, and to them we dedicate this book of “Old Memor ies. Hie ‘dedication

Mr. Stanley Benjamin Mr. B. is a busy lad, the sight of a bowling ball makes him glad. Of poetry he ' s quite a fancier, and so alert as a square dancer. Wesley Burrell Mr. Burrell has a gun, not for protection but just for fun. He also teaches History, but to the students it is a mystery. Louise Barnaby Home Economics is a course that Mrs. Barnaby leads with no remorse. But her family, to her, is fine; to make them happy is her design. Ruth Burrell Mrs. Burrell is our leading soprano, in¬ structing children is her delight. For their games she plays the piano, and as librarian she ' s all right. Thelma Edwards Mrs. Edwards is her name, and playing bridge has vyon her acclaim. Her commer- ciaJ arts are superb, but traffic through her classroom is heavy. Lucky for us, she ' s not easy to disturb. Willard Hahnenberg Mr. Hahnenberg we connect with music; his chorus, we think, is really slick. In dra¬ matics he is the best. With this talent he seems to be blest.
