Prospective housewives and dietiticians study under Miss Zoe Williams, home economics teacher. Miss Williams instructs the girls in cooking, sew- ing, balanced menus and proper house care. Though they are now working under the disadvantage of cramped quarters, they hope to be provided with adequate space soon. Miss Williams sponsors the Home Economics club and is a good bowler. Mr. Paul E. Wilson, science teacher, trains juniors in physics and fresh men in general science. Physics, a practical, usable subject, prepares juniors for future courses in high school and college. Mr. Wilson has sponsored the radio club for fourteen years. He is interested in photography and likes to travel by car. A new teacher this year is Mr. Clifton Worthen, history instructor. He has made considerable research into Montana history. He is also an ardent philatelist and as such is sponsor of the Stamp club. He spends extra min- utes collecting and mounting rare specimens.

 DIRECTORS Tall Ralph Soroos. social science teacher, has charge of the Tennis club this year. Mr. Soroos is an athlete of ability, having won distinction in college in tennis, track and basket- ball. He is a new addition to the faculty from Hamilton, Mon- tana. Well known all over the state for his track coaching abil- ity is Mr. Guy Stegner, track coach and commercial instructor. Mr. Stegner picks hopeful candidates and trains them to be good track and field men to bring home the trophies from the Interscholastic Meet. Fishing, bridge and reading are his main hobbies. Mr. A. I. Sugg is a former army man and instructor in algebra, economics and general science. His interest in cur- rent affairs made him a natural choice for Debate club sponsor. Mr. Sugg's friendly, affable, calm manner makes him popular with students. His favorite mannerism in class is scratching his ear. Miss Hazel Swearingen, sophomore and senior English teacher, is known for her ready wit. During her spare time at home she putters over a garden or cooks new delicacies. She hikes and explores in the summer time. A cabin on Placid Lake is her sanctuary from noisy sophomores and strutting seniors. Miss Elsie Wadell teaches freshmen Latin and commercial geography. Though generally considered difficult, Latin is in- teresting and constructive and helps students in other lan- guages as well as their own. Miss Wadell's dry humor en- livens her classes. She is kindly and gracious. She is a true nature lover and as a hobby studies birds. Keeping the annual staff out of difficulties is one of the duties of Mr. Robert D. Watt, Bitter Root sponsor and instructor in English. He thought quite a while before he gave his hobby. Boys and girls, he finally decided. However, unknown to many people, he has a mechanical bent that breaks forth from time to time.
