Tes « a c g Naat? odor} Miss JORDAN 7 Miss Jordan sets an example that all “would be’ stenographers would do well to follow. . .. To be unpleasantly frank, her commercial course probably comes closer to giving its students what they actually need in their later lives more than any other at Hickman. And Miss Jordan knows how to spread out the rightly proportioned amount of what it takes to succeed in this field that overflows with competition. Yeah, we just have to hand it to her, because she’s doing so much for so many. MR. KENSINGER Kensinger old boy, you’re all right. . . And we mean that from every as- pectin, alvensi sou do teach such sub- jects as commercial law, commercial arithmetic, and just plain commercial, and do a darn good job of it, you don’t think we’d hold it against you, do you? | Why we seniors thought you were so swell and so gosh darn much fun to work with that we just went and selected | you senior class sponsor for your second consecutive term... and now you won't lose any face if you should chance upon | a third. .. . They tell us that your com- mercial course leaves no stone unturned in its endeavor to help everyone learn . a subject that will serve as a great help i in a future search for what they want in life. ... And when we hear such things we know they’re right and all we have to say is just keep on doin’ what you're doin’.

MR. BEALMER Mr. Bealmer, besides sponsoring the Cresset, is our handsome new art teach- er. If any one had happened to venture into the art room this year, the first thing that would have caught his eye would have been the rows of ultra- modernistic drawings turned out under his tutelage. The art department has served the school admirably and without its as- sistance many school projects, such as. the Senior play and the Homecoming ?arade, would be impossible. Mr. Bealmer, to whom we affectionate- ly refer as “Willie Joe,” graduated from Kirksville State Teachers College with a degree of Bachelor of Science. ... We hope he will be with us for quite a tee a MRS. FYFER Mrs. Fyfer, known to all of us for a long time, does an excel- ent job of instructing junior English and Applied Arts. She leaves nothing undone in her attempt to bring out the best in all of her students and she does a remarkable job in accomplishing just that. ... The handmade articles in her Ap- plied Arts classes are both useful and decorative, and a great va- riety is noticeable. . . . Her en- thusiasm for work helps many pupils to develop an incentive to learn as much as possible, which is as it should be... . For that reason, there should be more like her.

MR. STOOKEY If you see a nice looking man going down the hall apparently mumbling to himself, don’t worry about him. Pig senote crazy. . Go Not yet, anyway! You see, it’s Mr. Stookey, and he has a bad case of music on the brain... and sometimes it even comes out of his mouth. . . . You understand! And if that weren't the case we’re just afraid that Hickman wouldn’t have the band she does today .. . a band we're proud to compare with any of its size in the state. . . . We don’t know why Mr. Stookey isn’t crazy, though, with all the work he does. . . . He dashes over to junior high . . . he dashes back. mes onthe constant:vo.. . ..andhe accomplishes things . . . big things, like the new school song, “Kewpies on the March” and other things, such as having the band play for political rallies and this and that. . . . But through all his troubles, Mr. Stookey satisfies himself by worrying his tie and working toward the betterment of instrumental music at Hickman: +. M Iss WEAVER Here’s another reason why music is definitely on the upbeat here at Hick- man. ... It’s Miss Weaver, who dates back to our junior high days, and who was drafted a couple of years ago to bolster our faltering music department. Since then a motble improvement has taken place in vocal music. . . . Boy’s Glee Club, Girl’s Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and the Triple Trio are no longer laughing stock and everyone stops to listen hen. that trio of cute sopho- mores get hot. . . . Miss Weaver divides her time beneed Hickman and junior high and maintains a beaten path be- tween them.
