MISS OWEN and MIss ELLIOTT Jolly Miss Elliott, who was in charge of Home Economics, saddened us greatly when she picked up her baggage and moved on to greener fields during the first semes- ter. . . . But you can’t keep a good gal forever. . . . Loved by her students, Miss Elliott believed in a strict adherence to the rules of home economics, and her proteges had to suffer from faux pas made while cookin’—in brief, they had to digest all the foodstuffs that they threw together, w hether they were up to par or really represented the model appeaser of the carnivorous appetite. . . . Miss Elliott turned out a gala crop of “‘would be brides” each year with the satisfaction of knowing that if the way to a man’t heart was through his stomach these girls wouldn't be found lacking in that respect . . . or any others relating to problems of everyday housework. . . . Miss Owen, who filled the position vacated by Miss Elliott, has shown the same time worn tendencies as her predecessor and seems to be having the same success.

Mr. HILL Mr. Hill, in the short time that he has been with us, has made quite a name for himself . . . The juniors thought enough of him to choose him as their class sponsor and his pupils in those math and science classes that he teaches between quips will swear that he knows more jokes than Mr. Ferguson, who was his predecessor in both capacities. Al- though suffering with a severe taste for clothes that you can hear as well as see, Mr. Hill prides himself in knowing the secret of keeping his classes either in convulsions or contemplation, with a mixture of both usually thrown in. . . MISS KITCHENS That genial lady, who spon- sors the Top Hatters (otherwise known as Home Room 215), knows all the angles .. . and theorems, too... The facts are that Miss Kitchens imparts the knowledge of angles . . . plane geometry, solid, and the incom- parable trig . . . But she finds time to add to her celebrated collection of shoes, sponsor the Blue Triangle, and the annual St. Pat’s assembly . . . Learning math under her becomes less of a bore to most individuals, and, that in itself, is quite an accom- plishment. 2

MIss TAYLOR Now here’s an example of an overworked teacher. . . . She must stay up late at night walk- ing the floor unceasingly and other things. . . . For Miss Tay- lor, they say, has charge of phys- ical education for Pir Stew ATi thats a problem. . . . Now take the basketball rules . . . they’re simply foolish ... An’ Miss ‘Tay- lor can’t get anyone to change thems. An’ then there’s hoc- key. ... The poor girls can’t hit anythin’ but each others shins course they don’t do it on purpose—they wouldn’t think of doing that, the dears—but it all adds up to treating a lot of bruises which is so tiresome, don’t you think. ... Yep, they’re other problems too numerous to mention, so we just better 20 home and take a little nap, and leave ’em to Miss ‘Taylor ‘cause we think she knows the answers. COACH HATFIELD Some call him “T-Bone”. . . and those are few who get away with it. His best friends call him “Woody”... but we know him ‘as’ “Coach.” . -. “Themame means more than it implies for, although graced with an unso- phicated title “Coach” has a rec- ord that few of his clan can claim. Since the formation of the Central Missouri Conference three years ago Hickman’s foot- ball teams have closed each sea- son as champions of the six schools comprising it... and in that span of time with a sched- ule that calls for games with the best that the districts of Kansas City and St. Louis can offer, the boys who wear the purple and gold met defeat but once. This remarkable record has not gone unheralded, and Woodrow Hatfield and his football teams are feared wherever they go. . . . But, he’s more than a great foot- ball coach, because his basket- ball and track teams have had more than their share of success, and his gym classes are enjoyed by all... . Yes, there is a lot in that name, “Coach-” . 7) To us it signifies Victory. . .
