oa 4 ws f » -¥ MISSWELLS WW What can we say . . . what can we do . after we're sorry . . . Well, we usu- ally cry on Miss Well’s shoulder for a while and if that isn’t enough we get a green slip. Which adds up to a mighty poor sob story!! Yes sir, a noticeable change evolved in the west office this year and circumstance brought us Miss Wells on whom we depend to get us into class in a legitimate manner when- ever we dallied too long at our locker, or didn’t hear the bell ring, or—or when we're just plain late .. . and those ma- licious rumors about her slipping around the halls rooting out class skippers, club skippers, and such riff raff, are not fos- tered by usually reliable sources. We all know Miss Wells has somebody to do that for her... but we don’t know who! Miss Wells succeeded Miss Crawford, one of our old favorites, as secretary, and she has won the hearts of all who ever promenaded into her jurisdiction. Mr. COLLINS Mr. Collins literally controls the purse strings of Hickman. . For he is our school treas- urer and handles all our finan- cial problems . . . that is, the schools’, and not the individ- ual... . He’s quite an authority on change, they say, and the very capable manner with which he seems to disperse with all our financial resources (to a worthy end of course) seems to bear out that point. ... Mr. Collins also teaches commerce and typ- ing to several groups of aspiring stenographers and the like. And incidentally, he’s a jolly good fellow! ! !

Mr. McKay Mr. E. A. McKay is one of the few coordinators in the state of Missouri . . . and furthermore, he seems to be one of the most informed sports authorities. . Many’s the time when he can be found busily engaged in one of Mr. Hatfield’s gym classes, tell- ing a group OF boys about his many athletic endeavors... and achievements. Mr. McKay’s per- sonnel classes have gone far to- wards placing many of Hick- man’s graduates in the vocation most suited to them, and the guidance he has given to count- less number of job hunters has proven invaluable to them in securing positions. Mr. McKay seems to be an institution here at Hickman, and whenever old erads refer back to their high school days, they think synon- omously of him and you lend a quick ear when they offer to relate some of the experiences they had with him back in the days when—weren’t those the days. 5 nd o- ASSISTANT COACHES Mrs. WILLIAMS Mrs. Williams is Hickman’s first lady . But she is more than a first lady... She seems to be a human dynamo, charged with boundless energy for which she constantly seeks an outlet . . . Al though assistant principal, there seems to be a quiet rumor of long standing that her first loves are her speech classes and her Verse Choir, which has gained a state-wide reputation . . . Each year she directs the Senior play, coaches the debate squad, is in charge of all assem- blies, stages that cdlossil Speech Festi- val, and ie a minstrel show that always packs ‘em in at the Kewpie Karnival. In spite of all that she undertakes she still keeps that smiling opumism to- wards everyone who comes in touch with her, and it must be a pretty good form- ula for success because that’s just what happens to anything with which she comes in contact.

Mrs. MCHARG Teaching senior English in any high pchool today, is a risky Bune eee ee Lic Giniversicy profs shout that high school stu- dents are not being properly trained in this subject... . May- be so? But here at Hickman we feel different. . . . This . is mainly due to the efforts of a lovable character of Irish descent with that characteristic ageres- sive manner. Mrs. McHarg not only teaches the customary grammar, but strives to have her pupils develop correct expres- sion and good form in writing. Even those eminent gentle- men of higher learning at the University take a backward step and admit that she does a fair- ly good job in turning out stu- Aone who know their ceeaih Miss HOWELL Sponsoring the Purple and Gold is Miss Howell’s favorite pastime. Ask any junior con- nected with that publication just what her chief duties are and he’ll be sure to say that she acts as master of censorship. ... In other words, she alone deter- mines ‘‘All the news that is fit to print.” “Print, my boy,” I said. Miss Howell also administers a very pleasant course dealing with the principal parts ei Speech, and varies it by throw- ing in some good old American prose...) s he Yep, that’s right, sone. s. = JURIOr English.”
