Students in European history find Miss Agnes Brown an able instructor. Miss Brown is sponsor of the Social Commit- tee of the Girls' club, which keeps her busy most of the time. Between history classes and committee meetings she knits and plays golf. Mr. Dudley B. Brown, general science instructor, introduces freshmen to the field of science. Mr. Brown is a naturalist at heart, being a good gardener and bee-keeper. His chief prides are his well-known bow-tie, his stocking cap and his two bouncing boys. Mr. Harry P. Budewitz teaches world history. In this course sophomores study the cave man, the ancient glory of Rome and also the doings of their more modern forefathers. As spon- sor of the freshman class he acquaints the newcomers with high school ways. Mr. Budewitz likes best to read but may also be seen puttering over his gardening. Mr. Edward Buzzetti, (assistant football coach and Chinske's right-hand man has taught in Missoula for several years. He teaches economics and English. Buzz played for the Golden Bobcats in college and still retains much of his former ability although the Chinske-Buzzetti combination failed to de- feat the home room champs in their annual basketball game against the faculty. Miss Mina I. Carr, commercial instructor, weans students from the hunt and peck system in typing and helps them bal- ance complicated accounts in bookkeeping. Miss Carr has traveled a great deal. At the Chicago World's Fair she was most interested in the new types of accounting machines. She hopes to attend the San Francisco Fair this summer. When asked about her pet peeves she claimed that they were too numerous to mention. Her ambition is to become an expert contract bridge player. Lithe and bronzed, Missoula football and basketball coach, Mr. Edward Chinske is an inspiration to every enthusiastic novice aspiring to an athletic career. From childhood Chinske has been a lover of all sports. He starred for the Montana University teams. When the urge to be again in action led Chinske to join in a football scrimmage, the result was a sprained leg for several days. But, desptie his age Chinske turned in a magnificent performance in the Faculty vs. Home Room championship basketball game. DIRECTORS 19

DIRECTORS Slight and charming Miss Mildred Ammer presides over French classes. An interesting subject, French offers both cul- ture and diversified knowledge to the enterprising student. Most entertaining in the course are the letters a French stu- dent receives from his foreign correspondent. After school hours Miss Ammer watches over the French club, is an ardent skier and a good housewife. Mr. Emmet Anderson, head of the music department, is fondly known as Andy by most of his students. The operetta and the concerts by the band and orchestra are his greatest achievements. Not to be confused with Mr. Anderson is the band's teddy-bear mascot, also known as Andy, which watches over the band during their concerts. For diversion Mr. Anderson takes pictures. Hobnobbing with Eskimos was once the vocation of Mr. Noel Baker, who formerly taught in Alaska. He comes to us directly from Idaho. Besides teaching mathematics, he is as- sistant track coach and sponsor of the Rifle club. As a rem- iniscent of Alaskan days, he hunts and fishes in true Yukon style. Informality is the keynote of Mr. C. B. Bartholomew's art classes. Bart, as he is commonly known, occasionally pur- loins an apple, that hitherto served as a model, and quietly munches it at his desk. Mr. Bartholomew is quiet but very active, having painted a portrait for the play Berkeley Square and a mask and sets for Julius Caesar. He also advised the annual staff on art and theme development. M iss Violet Boileau, Spanish instructor and promoter of the Spanish club has studied and traveled in Mexico. She grad- uated from the University of Montana and has also attended the University of Mexico and the University of Washington. She hopes to attend the San Francisco World's Fair this sum- mer. Cooking is her favorite out-of-school diversion. Miss Kathryne Borg trains future Carusos and Jenny Linds. She has charge of the Girls' Glee club and the mixed chorus. She also teaches English, is fond of piano and has recently taken up skiing. Although this marks her first year of teach- ing here, she is an experienced teacher and musician, having taught several years and having sung in the Columbia Chorus last summer. Her chief project of the year was the operetta.

DIRECTORS As head of the mathematics department Miss Gertrude Clark elucidates the mystic theories of logarithms, quadrants and tangents to her more advanced students, and teaches ele- mentary geometry to sophomores. As sponsor of the senior class Miss Clark directs all senior affairs which this year in- cluded several dances and a .ticket sale. While boys are in the great majority in all her classes, Miss Clark usually man- ages to maintain her sweet disposition. Her enjoyment is reading. Miss Katherine Craighead teaches juniors The Idylls of the King and other English poems. Travels in England fur- nish Miss Craighead with ideas to hold the attention of her problem period five class. Tennis and angora kittens please small, dark Miss Craighead. Students under Ed S. Davis, shop supervisor, find their work varied and useful. They make chairs, cabinets, book cases, skis and repair furniture and tennis rackets. Mr. Davis himself is kept busy making and repairing school equipment. When he is not being general fix-it man, he likes to fish, ski and hunt ducks. A new addition to our English department this year is Miss Edith M. Dawes. In her remedial English class she gives special assistance to floundering students. Miss Dawes comes from Livingston. In her spare time she dons an apron and tries out new recipes. Commercial lettering and drafting students are instructed by Mr. Lester Ennis. Mr. Ennis' name is carried unknowingly in the pocket of every student, as he is the permanent ex- chequer of the Student Association. He also is lord of the in- famous A-200 which is heard from in many assemblies. As a side line Mr. Ennis bargains for rare stamps, and he occasion- ally goes duck hunting. During the year the seniors in Miss Helen Fink's English classes study everything from the dramatic poetry of Shake- speare to the mystic horror stories of Poe. Creative writing is encouraged in Miss Fink's English classes and many fine ex- amples of literature have been written by her prodigies. Miss Fink always encourages discussion although she occasionally comes out on the short end of an argument. Her outside in- terests are mainly literature and music.
