IVIISS MARY MATHER Latin. A. B. Onio W'esleyan Miss Mather teaches the so-called dead lan- guage, However, she has a way of impressing it upon one's mind, so the Latinites do not readily forget their Gaul est divisa in partes tres. She was thc Class of 26's Advisor last year and in no small way contributed to the success of the reception and play. For it's a. well-known fact that whatever Miss Mather promotes goes over the top. Miss HELEN CHRISTY Bkkg., Business English, Ohio University Miss Christy is the petit lady who is so fond of writing maxims on the blackboard. She knows bookkeeping' from A to Z and explains it so clearly that nowadays students no longer need to stay up until the wee sma' hours trying to make a trial balance. Another of her jobs is to perfect the penmanship of her classes to some semblance of legibility, and judging from the number of certificates her students have re- ceived. she surely succeeds. MISS EDITH SMITH Secretary to Superintendent Miss Smith is the superintendents right hand man. Her secretarial duties are the usual ones connected with a modern school. The students know her as a cheerful person who is always ready to accomodate them, whether to change a dollar or to restore a lost locker key. Now- adays, going to the olliee is not the dreaded ordeal it used to be. espevially when its atmos- phere is pervaded with the charming personality of Miss Smith. Miss HILDA MILLER English, A.B. Ohio State University This introduces Miss Miller, who teaches the Freshmen how to speak English as she is spoke. She has earned the eternal gratitude of the Staff by her zealous work in urging her pipils to submit stories and poems to the Spy Contest. Running' the risk of becoming too per- sonal. we would say that her lively wit relieves the monotony of the subject she teaches. YVe don't know what her hobby is, but from her deeds it must be practicing the Golden Rule. IVIISS LOLA DIETRICH Commercial Geography B. I'. Ohio Northern University Nvhat ho! Another new member of our illus- trious faculty. Although old acquaintances are not forgotten, yet new faces and new teachers are always welcome at Galion High. Somehow, Miss Dietrich seems to be an extremely busy person. Getting an interview with her seems to be about as diilieult to do as Hnding the pro- verbial needle in the proverbial haystack! NVe'll wager that Miss Dietrich has a sense of humor, for anytime you meet her she's smiling. Thirteen

MR. D. E. SHAFER Mech. Drawing. Valparaiso Normal School Mr. Shafer is one of the old-timers of Galion High. His department of manual training is unquestionably one of the best. Exhibitions, showing the handicraft of his boys, show the progress that this department has made in re- cent years. A thousand and one complimentary things could be said about Mr, Shafer, but in- stead we'll allow his continued services with the. schoolAto speak for themselves, and they plainly indicate his popularity. MR. C. D. MOULDER Gen. Science. A. B. Ohio Wesleyan Prof. Moulder's chapel speeches are becoming quite famous. Whenever he begins. Hear ye! Hear ye! the students stop counting the light- bulbs in the chandeliers and sit up and take notice. He usually has charge of the ticket sale for any high school entertainment and succeeds in selling out the house. This is Mr. Moulder's first year on our faculty and it is sincerely hoped that he will remain with Galion High for many years to come. MR. HARRY SNOUFFER Athletic Director. A. B. Ohio Wesleyan S-a-a-y! What? Here's the coach, that's what! Yes, he's the new coach for the Orange and Blue. He's instructor on the gridiron, on the basket-ball floor and in the classroom. Per- haps you've noticed what a gift of oratory he has, and how his speeches at rallies always are a knockout . He excels as an instructor of studies as Well as of athletics, as his classes will affirm. Coach Snouffer is a general favorite and hvsie hope he takes off his hat and stays a w ie. REV. HOLLAR Pastor of the United Brethren Church This is the first year that the study of the Bible is offered in the curriculum. Rev. Hollar was selected to teach this half-year subject and now is a full-fledged member of the faculty. The subject deals with the life of Christ and the Bible class votes Rev. Hollar an efficient instructor. VVe hope he has enjoyed high school life as much as we have enjoyed his teaching. MR. R. EHRHART Music, Gen. Sci. A. B. Otterbein Mr. Ehrhart is the much admired director of the orchestra which has improved considerably in the past year under his leadership. As music is a necessary part of any school, a capable director to wield the baton is also important and in Mr. Ehrhart we have found an ideal orchestra leader. Stokowski and some of these other fa- mous conductors had better look to their laurels. MISS ZILPHA MARSH Athletic Director A. B. Chicago Normal of Physical Education Miss Marsh is the best 1ittle4coach this school has had in many a year. She is- adept at giving the girls' B. B. team instructions and seeing that they are carried out to the letter. She instills regular G. H. S. spirit in the team and spurs 'em on to victory. Besides her strenuous duties as coach, she is instructor in E,'YmnaS'3lC exercises, and the annual exhibitions show what a good one she is. All right, everybody! Three cheers and a. long one for Miss Marsh! Twelve

Through the efforts and generosity of an alumnus of the school, Miss Miriam Allen, this scholarship fund was made possible. While a student of G. H. S. Miss Allen took part in many activities and was especially popular because of her marked musical ability. After her graduation in 1908 she studied piano under several of the country s Hnest teachers and then began her concert career which has been eventful and brilliantly successful. For the past several years she has been accom panist for Zlatko Balokovic the talented violinist and it was entirely due to her efforts that the most Wonderful concert heard in years by Galion people, was presented. She and Mr. Balokovic also appeared on a chapel program and the manner in which they were received gave proof of the students' appreciation. Miss Allen used the proceeds from the concert as a basis for the scholarship fund. According to her plans the award, a two hundred dollar scholarship, is to be given to the member of each graduating class having the best scholastic and citizenship record. Scholarship alone will not be the winning feature, but value to the school, leadership, participation in school activities and good school citizenship will all be equally considered This year for the first time, when the class of '26 receives their diplomas, an award will be made. It is impossible to tell at this time who will be the first to have the honor conferred upon them. The need of a fund of this kind has been long felt but it took a person of Miss Allen's enthusiasm and ambition to make the need a realization. The establishing of this fund has proved in many ways Miss Allen s real Galion spirit. It is indeed inspiring to think of a spirit so great that after many years away from the Alma Mater the old feeling can bring forth such rich fruits. That sort of spirit defines the type existing in Galion High School The united forces of the school and Alumni join in thanking Miss Allen for her splendid gift. Fourteen
