MR. McKAY . W Although Mr. E. AL McKay,s official title is coordinator, few peo- ple here at Hickman know him bynthis high-sounding name. Under this title comes the teaching of personnel classes, and finding after school hour jobs for Hickman students. In the latter field, he has started many students toward their life's work. In his off moments, he will most likely be found at ease, spinning yarns about the Good Old Days. ' MRS. ARMENTROUT Last year her name was Miss Gott, this year it is Mrs. Armentrout. Although her name has changed, she remains the same--a lovely per- son whom alladmire and respect. Mrs. Armentrout teaches sophomore English, and as .Guidance Director, she has given many Kewpies thoughtful and helpful advice. Miss HOWELL A 'Undoubtedly 'one of the best-loved teachers at Hickman High School is Miss Howell. Her capable and original method of teaching English makes literature enjoyable and grammar understandable even to the most disinterested of students. Much of the popularity attained by the Purple and Gold, which she sponsors, is due to her untiring energy in selecting appropriate articles and transacting necessary busi- ness. Miss Howell's subtle Wit and cooperative manner have won for her many friends at Hickman. MISS INGRUM No one Who has ever been to a play or operetta practice can fail to know Miss Ingrum, who manages to be right where she is needed at the right time. Always behind the scenes, she is there to supervise make-up, help direct, and quietly see that everything goes off smoothly. XT is Vx -G '1 44, ,, N J' ' A. .

MR. ASLIN To students at Hickman High School, Mr. Aslin is more than 'fPrincipal.M He is an understanding counselor, and efficient administrator, and a true friend. Under his leadership many important changes have taken place for the improvement of our school. Particularly noticeable among these are the decrease of Kcutsn and 'ftardiesv to classes, and the increase of good conduct in hall and cafeteria. He has suggested to the student council many practical activities which have been undertaken throughout the year with great success. ln school circles, Mr. Aslin is considered to be one of the leading educators in the state. We Kewpies are proud to have him as our principal. MRS. VVILLIAMS One of the most active members of this Kewpie- land is the Assistant Principal, Mrs. Yvilliams. She is in charge of the Verse Choir and teaches the speech classes. The Senior Play and Speech Festival are two of her annual successes. Pageants, minstrels, and assemblies are a few of the things under her direction. Besides all this, she finds time to co-sponsor the Tri- reme organization. Kewpies are glad that they have Mrs. Williams to keep up Kewpie morale. . 5 f r x

MRS EADS A MR. BOLLINGER Due to the tremendous role played by science in the world war of today, this subject has reached a new peak of importance in the educational program. As head of this department, Mr. Bollinger fills the billf' The genial manner in which he presents to a physics class the secrets of the mystical universe or acquaints a chemistry class with some profound facts about the elements makes his work very interesting. t Yet through all this uequilibriuml' and HZO, shines a dynamic personality. We couldn't do without Mr. Bollinger. MISS DRENNAN Her lovely smile, her pleasing personality, her sincere amiability, and her fine leadership have made Miss Drennan one of Hickman's favorites. Aside from teaching typing, bookkeeping, and commercial law, she does an excellent job serving as sponsor for the Horizon Club, co-sponsor of E. B. L. A., co-sponsor of Pep Squad, and chairman of Clubs Committee. Hickman is grateful to her for her many contri- butions. This year we were indeed fortunate in having Mrs. Eads join the English faculty. When the seniors walked into Miss Kitchens, old room at the end of the hall upstairs, they found a smiling lady, just bubbling over with energy and ideas, and ready to put them to work exploring the mysteries of English. Besides all this, her clever wit has helped the Cresset staff a great deal. Mrs. Eads is sponsor of the new Golden Quill Club. Eull of pep and zest for getting things done, she has become a real Kewpie asset. j MRS. ELUAH A woman of many interests is Mrs. Elijah, teacher of sociology, international relations and American history. She is not altogether new to Hickman as she has substituted here in previous years. At Hickman, Mrs. Elijah is co-sponsor of the Eranklin Honorary Historic Society and has given fully of her time to make this club one of the most outstanding and interesting in school. Redheaded, versatile, and full of energy, Mrs. Elijah has definitely carved a niche for herself in the life of Hickman.
