FACULTY DOROTHY FLINT, B. A.. M. S. Cl IESTER HERBERT SLOAT, A. B., A. M. MISS FLlNT's vitality, sportsmanship, dependable judgment, and new car have combined to make her much in demand as a companion to the Boston Conference and to basketball games. She is in charge of Physical and Health Education, and has organ- ized women's athletics in such a way that all are encouraged to take some part. Her willingness to help has materialized into dancing classes in Center and a conscientious chairmanship of the Recreation Room Committee. lf you haven't seen her do an interpretative dance, or read some of her merry jingles, you don't know Miss Flint. MR. SLOAT, teacher of Journalism and English. has a mosaic of difficult duties: helping get the school Oracle to press. pleading with actors and actresses to learn their parts in the Dramatic Club and the senior class plays, tactfully advising the Kappa Delta Phi fraternity, teaching the rudiments of Latin to a group of lively ninth graders, encour- aging state-wide school publicity through his news- paper course. and training future teachers to talk. He appreciates good music and literature and we defy you to outspell him. His clean-cut manner of speech is an arresting characteristic. LOUIS BN-STAD JENSEN' GWEN DAH1., HAYDEN L. V. ANDERSON, B.

MR. WlEDEN's tonic personality does much to keep men's athletics running smoothly. He arranges games, directs all athletic schedules. superintends publicity, and provides peppermints. His classes give an excellent background in Social Studies, and practical work in Tests and Measures. Freshmen tirst meet him as administrator of their I. Q. test. lfew realize that we have in Mr. Wieden an expert at badminton and volleyball. but as for golf-well. he's steadily improving. His greatest wish each year is to defeat Farmington both here and there. MR. PACKARD, jack of all trades. is contra-tradi- tionally master of Printing and Metal Work. When anything is needed in Corthell Hall, all roads lead to Paekard's printshop. His boys listened to the World Series while they worked last fall. Under his coach- ing. this year's cross-country team was one of the best in the schoolis history. As adviser of the Y. M. C. A., he often opens his home for meetings. As campus cop, he registers all cars and regulates parking facilities. He possesses a keen sense of humor and conducts a neat Y. M. candy counter in the printshop. MISS W'O0D's return from work at Radcliffe was a very welcome one. We had missed her enlighten' ing historical anecdotes. often introduced by a hushed, Now, did you know , . . ? She says she is more or less of a farmer. as her summers with her parents at Bluehill and her hardy classroom plants attest. Her gift of organizing ability. and her happy faculty for disagreeing pleasantly, suggesting tactf fully. and advising wisely have made her sought after by individuals and by organizations for friendly counsel. Witness as an example her whole- hearted support of the Commuters' Club. MISS LITTLEFIELD, our busy Little Chief, keeps house with Miss Andrews and has a passion for neat bureau drawers. Her superior administra- tive ability is shown by her work behind the scenes of the Superintendents' Day tea, at the Junior High cafeteria, as general costumer, and as teacher of Household Arts to both Normal and junior high pupils. Sports-minded. she excels in tennis, often takes Miss Andrews on in croquet, and appears with her at all games. MISS UPTON delves into the awe-inspiring man's realm of mathematics. and emerges with honors. She is a graduate of Gorham Normal and formerly taught in the Junior High School. This year she was a delegate to the New York Conference. and being also a Columbia 'l'eacher's College grad, she should have met some old friends. She presents in- teresting classes. has a Hne sense of humor, and gives forth with carefully prepared courses in Junior High Math. Algebra, and History of Math. She is always eager to help, and her time is at your disposal. MISS LEWIS, whose classes have the fascination of the unpredictable, specializes in English and Literature. Her mastery of and enthusiasm for her work, combined with her excellent background of English History, make her courses appealing and thorough. She exercises a general omniscience over the GREEN AND Vv7HI'l'lT Board and Poetry Club. members of whom learn to work and play under her guidance. During her infrequent spare moments. she knits mittens for underprivileged children. and tries to keep cltlb members and faithful Victoria out of trouble.

MR. JENSEN gives college courses in Physics and Mathematics, and has established himself securely as athletic coach. Last year his basketball team won the New England championship and in baseball the team was nearly as good. This year he won all the important games. His favorite expression is l.oosen up. fellows. and that means calisthenics. He jokingly regards athletics as coming first above all else, as men End who try to be excused from practices. As a billiard specialist, he takes all challengers. MISS DAHI., a Minnesota product accustomed to all our kinds of weather, is an artist bestowed with varied talents and a contagious enthusiasm which makes us all her subjects. Her interests in singing. dancing, piano. pottery, weaving, and metal work have aided the Art Club and student body greatly this year, Our halls and her cards are enlivened by her poster and block print work, and her studio is always open to students interested in the funda- mentals of such arts. MR. ANDERSON, who once told a pupil, Re- member there was a purpose in your being given two eyes and two ears, but only one mouth, has nevertheless initiated a growing program of pupil participation in the government and assemblies of the Gorham Junior High School. As teacher of English. his classes have an informal, cooperative atmosphere. His contributions to Normal Hill in- clude instruction in Junior High School Organiza- tion and Administration. ticket-punching at basket- ball games. and excellent photos for our yearbook. MISS PIKE adapts herself admirably to her two groups of pupils. Junior Primary children adore her, and she loves and understands them. Normal students greatly admire her charming manner and well-organized work in Primary Arithmetic and Primary Reading, and she makes her classes interest- ing with useful and appealing anecdotes of young- sters and their instructors. MISS HARRIS' Kindergarten Theory room has become gay with new equipment this year. and is always attractively decorated by her students. Her day is divided between this room and the Gorham Training School Kindergarten. a truly model de- partment where she shows unusual ingenuity with her tiny pupils. Her hobbies are divided, too, be- tween travel in the summer and skiing in the win- ter. Amateur photography. however, is a year- round interest in which she has become quite proficient, MISS TRASK teaches Geography and History in the Junior High, and likes to supplement her work with travel and historical novels. Her classes are quick to realize the justice of her decisions and prac- tice teachers appreciate her friendly training in mak- ing outlines. She loves to relax with her fellow- teachers and particularly enjoys their out-of-door activities. Her summers are spent at the seashore, where she has made a number of interesting collec- tions of flowers and scashells. She advises our Knox-Lincoln County Club.
