Batting Practice Strange as it may seem, we did Work. Never will we forget those long hours that we spent in the chemistry lab, striving for a for- mula that would blow up the Whole school. Then there were the history periods where we studied history, and then at 3:30, went home and made it. Ah! The long hours that we sepnt in English, but Miss Gettinger reconciled us to it. Then came 11:30 and we dashed up the steps to the cafeteria and pushed our way to the milk counter, but it was worth it because We got a free straw in the deal. Lunch time left a lasting impression-on our figures! Try- ing to take dictation in shorthand class, while next door the typing class was typing to Rag Mop, was quite an ordeal. Although we toiled all day in the classroom, it seemed like child's play compared to our sojourn with the Physical Education Department. We cut dashing figures-the boys with their off the shoulder under shirts, and the girls with their daring bathing suits. Although we sometimes complained about our homework and also our teachers, we set to work with determination, for we were prac- ticing for more hits and less errors. The main objective of the Physical Education Department is the developing of healthy bodies and sound minds. This is carried out by our gym, swimming, and health classes. Other aims of this program are the develop- ment of good sportsmanship, teamwork, and leadership. In the gym class the boys limber up their muscles by practicing on the horse.

Farewell to Uur Instructors loyal friends guiding our paths to the future. KARL YOUNG they set for us to follow by their: B.S., M.S. Bookkeeping-Accounting I nteuigent Cu Stoms N ice dispositions S incere enthusiasm T caching abilities R eady advice U seful punishments C ourteous manner T actful thinking O ccasional joking R eviving liveliness S urpassing friendship ln Fond Memory Words are totally inadequate to express our deep sorrow at the passing of Mr. Howard Deis. His ever present good humor, kindliness, and willingness to help, enriched the lives of all who knew him. In Mr. Deis his associates found a man always ready to do his utmost for any worthy cause. The pupils who had the good fortune to study under his guidance will always remember the wisdom of their kindly teacher. We can pay tribute to Mr. Deis by endeavoring to live up to the high principles to which he dedicated his life. The clock of life is wound but once, And no one has the power to tell, Just when the hands are stopped, At late or early hour. Now is the time you own, So live, love, and toil with a will, Do not wait until tomorrow, For the hands may then be still. 20 We as Seniors are. proud to admit and agree that our teaching staff at H.H.S. is Gracious, Righteous, Efiicient, Able, and Talented Not only do we regard our teaching staff as instructors but also as We'll never be able to forget our teachers or the high standards Mr. Howard Deis Died December 28, 1951
