Miss LASHAY When Miss Rummell left at the end of last school year there were rumblings that French would no longer be the same, pleasant study it was... . But the industrious ones who re- mained from last year and the newcomers who walked blindly in without being warned found a pleasant surprise . . . Miss LaShay! French is still a pleas- ant course, but much more so ... Miss LaShay graduated from Springfield State Teachers Col- lege and the Rocky Mountain School of Languages. Although her task of keeping pupils’ eyes posted on the work at hand in- stead of on her amounts to large proportions, she finds time to take a graduate course in the University of Missouri. MIss EITZEN Since Miss. Eitzen’s: illness, which caused her to request a leave of absence for the remain- der of the year, those brilliant scholars whom she taught thought they would find them- selves groping in the dark, seek- ing the truths of Latin and Arithmetic =. . «But thes two substitute teachers and their substitutes handled her duties capably. . . . Few teachers have served Hickman for as long a period of time and as well as has Miss Eitzen and it won't seem the same around the old stompin’ grounds until she joins 1s againys 7» Weawishs herea speedy recovery, and hope that this will hasten her back to the welcome that will be hers when she returns... .

Mr. HILTON Foul odors and loud noises frequently issue forth from that part of our school known as the science department. . . . Room 204 serves as headquarters and here Mr. Hilton presides over his domain of Bunsen burners, Liebig condensers, and cabinets full of gadgets pertaining to physics and chemistry. .. . Many exciting incidents have occur- red since Mr. Hilton took his place as instructor, and barely a dull day passes. An inadequate number of experiment tables to accommodate the large growth of this department presents an unsolved problem but Mr. Hil- ton looks forward to the day when all may derive the benefits of learning these intriguing sub- jects from direct, first hand ex- perience. MR. GLADFELTER Mr. Gladfelter is an example of what a young boy who takes a fancy to birds, beasts, and beauties (of nature) will do... . For Mr. Gladfelter did just that and today finds him plugging away at his task of explaining the mysteries of things in gen- eral, and particularly biology. .. . Here we find him pointing out the finer parts of a crow. Biology proves very interesting under his manner of administer- ing, plus the added facility of free instructive movies that brings his students in rather per- sonal contact with the subject at hand..... . In¢spite of the fact that it’s a cardinal sin to leave his room without his permission after the bell ending the period rings, his guinea pigs love him just the same.

Mrs. SUTTON Democracy rules in Mrs. Sutton’s classes because she is very democratic— may we use Democrat for short... . Eco- nomics, with its varying arguments on big business, the common laborer, and the financial situation, plus American ae keep her on the constant rustle. American Observers, which present an Gaibiiced synopsis of current news and the latest dope on this political candi- date or that senator, serve as an ap- petizer in both courses. . . . Frequent debates about present day problems often burst forth and Mrs. Sutton lets them progress as long as they remain in reasonable bounds under her guidance. She just simply oozes with vitality and it must be contagious because a certain tendency to work exists when- ever she’s about. Mrs. Sutton graduated from the University of Missouri, carry- ing with her a Phi Beta Kappa key, the goal of all great scholars. Muss STEAN American History ...a men- picture of the epic Revolu- tionary War... the Era of Good Feeling preceding one of bad... the Panic of 1837 . . . Lincoln- Douglas debates . . . a nation divided against itself in a bloody Civil War ... the United States becomes a world power... a moving panorama of action tell- ing the story of our national ex- istence, leaving vivid impres- sions hard to forget. .. . Such is the story of a year’s study under Miss Stean in her American His- to ry classes. . . . Much time is spent in informal discussion of past and = present problems, which adds to the general enjoy- ment of a course which would become monotonous to some without this added feature.
