Senior High ' s faculty, organized as a club, has these officers: left to right, Mrs. Margaret Garrett, President; Mr. R. L. Glenn, Vice-President, and Miss Rowena Montague, Secretary-Treasurer. Senior High’s faculty has grown in number and variety of responsibility as the student body has increased. This year there were sixty-eight teachers, all of whom lived by a very full sched¬ ule which included many school activities, civic responsibilities, and a little time now and then for just being sociable. As a faculty club they had several meetings to get better acquainted, to improve departments and instruction, and to welcome new members to the group. First of these get-togethers was a party honoring new teachers. The hilarious program, full of the teachers’ private jokes on each other, would have furnished students material for perpetual blackmail. Several teachers enjoyed the trips with student groups to Chicago, New Orleans, and Wash¬ ington this year. At commencement the faculty tea for seniors carried on a very pleasant faculty- student tradition initiated several years ago. Students don ' t monopolize school spirit—teachers share it with them Miss Louise Smith, left, is swamped with pleas to enroll in her English 7 classes. These teachers, below, chaperoning one of the school dances, are able to give their full attention to their job. Could it be that teachers are more popular on registration day than at dances? I

Principal A. P. Routh ; adept organizer .; j most ial fan of every school activity Washington. This year they went with the band to Chicago in December and to New Orleans with the choir in March. He is a good friend of every student and teacher and a dynamic force behind Senior’s success in so many fields. Senior ' s principal, Mr. A. P. Routh, is far more than a mere administrator. For among the myriad duties and responsibilities of running a school the size of ours, he always finds time for giving advice and helping students and teachers get more pleasure and profit from school activities. With Mrs. Routh he takes busloads of students to many athletic events, far or near; and every year they take the seniors on a four-day tour of Mrs. Routh is as constant and ardent a Whirlie fan as Mr. Routh. All other Senior High activities get the same friendly attention from both. Band President Bob Cowan presents Mr. Routh a gift from the band as part of a half-time show in his honor. Mrs. Nellie Kate Blackburn, Dean of Students, seated; Mrs. Margaret Malone, Secretary; and Mr. L. W. Anderson, Assistant Principal, give Mr. Routh indispensable help in running Senior High efficiently.
