BOVVMAN - MISS MEEK SOCIAL Underculller, who is also one of the Iiaculty members in charge of reporting versity of Pennsylvania, where he re- ceived his B. A. and M. A. degrees. Mr. John II. Lynch, Ir., was awarded his B. A. and M. A. degrees by Prince- ton University and the University of Pennsylvania. These men will long be remembered by their pupils for the many interesting and lively discussions on current events which were carried on under their supervision, and for the many newspaper articles and edi- torials that soon became a valued part of our school day. Our Senior year was spent in study- ing the problems which confront a democratic nation. In both economies and sociology we were patiently guided by our teachers: Nliss Mary F. Hershey, TUDIES whose I3. A. degree was received at Indiana State Teachers College: Mrs. Myrtle C. Bowman, who also teaches Business Law, was awarded her B. A. and M. A. degrees at Otterbein College and the University of Pennsylvania: and Mr. A. VV. S. Little, who earned his B. A. and NI. A. degrees at Syra- cuse University and Columbia Uni- versity. It has ben through the untiring effort of these men and women that we have gained an insight into the problems and difliculties which we will be called upon to face when the present struggle is Finished, and our country is again at peace. And more than this, they have given us a preparation that will enable us to carry out justly and wisely our part in a people's government.

ADMINISTRATION MR. SEABOLD A R. LITTLE - MR. PIIIPPS MII. UNDEIICUFFLER - MR. RUTH SOCIAL TODAY our country is at war, and our fathers and brothers are scattered throughout the world, fighting to pro- tect and preserve a way of lilie that we ognize that knowledge, and the toler- ance that comes with knowledge, will be needed as never before, in the com- ing days ol' peace. For this knowledge, then, we turn to our teachers, upon whose shoulders rests the responsibility of preparing us to take our rightful place in the life and government of a free land. This, more than any other, is the work of the Social Studies Department. In our VVorld Survey classes was begun the foundation of our study of the history and people of those coun- tries that contributed to the eventual TUDIES development of our own. During this attended Yale University and the Uni- bia University. hir. Laurence Phipps interesting school events to the local papers, received his B. A. and bl.

I r I- ADMINISTRATION MISS BECK MISS STAUFFER MATHEMATIC FOB those hoys who are planning to enter the Armed Forces upon gradua- tion, or for those who have already left us, mathematics is one of the most important subjects in their course ol' study. This is especially true for those who are candidates for the army or navy flight programs. Mathematics is not only essential for navigators. but for the pilots of pursuit ships who are dependent entirely upon themselves for their navigation. Those boys who will eventually enter Ofliccr's Training Schools for commissions in either Field Artillery or the Engineering Corps will find that the mathematics learned dur- ing their years at high school will prove invaluable. Not only members ol' the Armed Forces will be brought into con- tact with prohlems involving all types ol' mathematical principles, for those engaged in certain branches of war in- dustries will have an equal need of mathematics. lXIiss Florence E. Beck has endeared herselt to each successive class, and her patience, good humor, and helpful ad- vice has made her one ol' our favorite instructors. Miss Beck is u graduate of Wfellesley College, and holds a B. A. degree. Besides teaching her regular classes, Miss Beck is the advisor for our most Beneficial organization, The Student Council. We are all familiar with the hne work done by this group of our students, and all recognize the fact that a great many of its achieve- ments are due to the expert and efli- cient guidance of Miss Beck.
