Gwendolyn Mallory BS, MA Edward Whalley BA Delmer Born BA, MA Esther Conway BA. MA We instruct in science and languages. Demonstrating experiments and teaching symbols, formulas, and the principles of science, Ed Whailey doubled as chemistry teacher and coach of football, wrestling, and track. Though handicapped by lack of proper laboratory facilities, Mr. Whalley, as well as Delmer Born, physics teacher, and Miss Gwendolyn Mallory, biology instructor, succeeded in making the courses in science interesting and alive to the students. Mr. Born also taught a class in general mathematics and one in geology in addition to supervising visual education and the photographic darkroom. Miss Mallory kept students in general and advanced biology alert with a generous sprinkling of tests and her good-humored wit. All three instructors cooperated in coordinating the work of the science department. One of four teachers in the language department, Miss Esther Conway, using originality of presentation, taught students in French and Spanish. She also assisted with Junior Red Cross work. The other instructor in Spanish was Mrs. Ann Cornelison, who also helped advise the senior class as sponsor. Co-sponsoring Junior Red Cross with Miss Conway, Mrs. Maude McLaughlin had classes in first and second year Latin and in English I. Completing the staff of the language department, Miss Winifred Bull also taught Latin. In addition, she worked with the Anthos Club and started a Camera Club the second semester for amateur shutterbugs interested in learning the photographic arts.

We teach history and give business training. John Thome taught social science, world and American history. Moreover, he was a co-sponsor of the senior class and assisted in the athletic department. Despite having five classes in social science, Mrs. Bernice Branson avoided monotony and made the subject a vital factor in the daily life of her students. Additional duties included co-sponsoring the junior class. In addition to performing the duties of girls' adviser, Mrs. Frances Hopton taught social science. She was also co-sponsor of the Student Council. Not content with a full day of teaching American history, Miss Isabel Benson co-sponsored IRC and helped train members of the Debate club. Although he instructed in social science the first semester, J. B. Wootten took over the full-time teaching of classes in driving the second semester. Adult classes were under his guidance after school hours. A new staff member, Miss Carol Kraatz, assumed a position in the social science department the second semester. Heading the commercial department, tall, red-haired Mrs. Marie Schwab had as her co-worker Mrs. Virginia Runge, a quiet brunette. Working in close cooperation, both taught classes in typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping, with Mrs. Schwab also supervising a class in secretarial practice. Counseling students planning careers in business was an integral part of their work. Both were also sponsors of the honorary service club for girls, Tri-S.
