MISS MAXINE BRISCOE 'iVVowl Whois that?,' That,s Miss Briscoe, the new algebra teacher. This was common conversation at the beginning of school, but now every wide awake Kewpie knows Kthe cute blonde with the freckles. Besides teaching elementary and advanced algebra, Miss Briscoe sponsors the Dance Club. Miss Briscoe is new at Hickman this year having just recently graduated from the University of Missouri. Her charming and gracious manner have made us all glad that she joined the Hickman faculty and became a Kewpie. MRS. GIBBANY The heavenly quiet in the library which greets the student exhausted by an advanced algebra test is the result of constant effort by Mrs. Eliza Gibbany, our librarian. Mrs. Gibbany is always ready to give aid to students who may be trying to secure books or information. She is the sponsor of the Library Club, which has long been a leading organization and is known for its annual tea-always a success. We couldn't do without Mrs. Gibbanyl COACH DE GREEFF Tall, dark and handsome-that,s Our Coach! A sunny side and a stern one make up his nature. ' Coach has handled the football and basketball squads in a manner approved forconsistant winning at game-time. He has instituted games for gymnastics, which seems to agree with one and all. Pebbles and rocks disappear like magic from the track when coach puts his gym classes to work? To say that Hickman has profited from his presence is an under- statement. A regular fellow, that's De Greeff. MISS SPATH Pleasant and business-like-that's Miss Martha QSpeedyj Spath, the girls' gym teacher. She manages to keep her gym classes in order and still be the girls' friend. Miss Spath came to Hickman three years ago and has since established a place for herself in the hearts of all the Kewpies. Before school started we thought we had lost Miss Spath, but we are glad she reconsidered and decided to remain at Hickman.

, MR. BOLLINGER i Amid the tumult and confusion following an explosion from the chemistry room stands Mr. R. L. Bollinger very calmly surveying the scene. Mr. Bollinger is teacher of chemistry, physics, and biology which includes sophomores, juniors and seniors. It is no wonder that wherever he is seen he is always busy. Mr. Bollinger is one of Hickman's many teachers who is liked and admired as a good friend, a fine teacher, and a swell guyf, MR. sTRoNG X Mr. Strong has the husky build of a football player, the genial per-. sonality of an Irishman, and the untiring energy of a man from Mars. All these qualities he puts to use in making our Kewpie Kingdom better- whether it be by helping his studentsturn out attractive and useful articles on the lathe or by building the stage sets-for our special assemblies. In addition to his regular duties, Mr. Strong sponsors the Girls' Woodwork Club-an organization of girls interested in learning the technique of manual training. , The football boys know Mr.. Strong as a tireless worker and true friend, all Hickman recognizes him as a grand Kewpie. l MR. ELLIS p Thais keen is a quotation frequently made by a skilled musician whom we all know. After a year, he is firmly faste-ned to Hickman's faculty. Everyone knows him and admires his technique. Because of his likable personality and recognized ability he has made a favorable place for himself in Kewpie Land. Mr. Ellis has worked wonders with the mixed chorus, presented fine concerts, and given an excellent operetta entitled Shreds and Patches. Need we say more? All agree that we're fortunate to have Mr. Ellis at Hickman. A . MRS. CHEAVENS Mrs. Cheavens is that pleasant woman who has charge of the cafeteria. She has a great responsibility and handles it well. Everywhere she goes she looks at menus to see what other people eat so she can plan better meals for the Kewpies at Hickman. We see very little of her, but we know she is here when we need her most-during the lunch periods!
