Mrs. Ver Hulst and Mrs. Daugherty like the one on i'Good Citizenship while Miss Brower and Miss Visser find something equally well done. The Misses Ewald and Dykhuizen agree that these projects are very worth while. Miss Randels understands German swastikas or French cocked hats, but she is amazed to see Miss Vander Werf so familiar with a vicious looke ing old Roman Fasces . The other two Latin linguists Miss Geiger and Miss Bosman admire this weapon as a symbol of power. M L-Jblo i frm? VIN Mr. Smith brought with him a new text which he illustrated.

yyfply .g,MA'ffMJM H3 Facult The chief officers of our ship, Holland High School, figure daily in countless pleasant capacities in the complicated routine of carrying the first, second, and third class passengers. With two hundred and eighty individual personalities to mold into an integrated senior class, they tackle the problems which inevitably arise with interest, capability, and success. Their part in guiding our loaded vessel down the deepest channels in the ocean of knowledge is very important. Their actions require sound judgment. Co-Captain Qin our system of passenger divisionj Miss Minnie K. Smith has long been the principal and adviser in the junior High School. She is shown here at the extreme left in a group gathered in the Superintendent's office in the Senior High School building. Next to her is Miss Wfestveer, the clerk of the Board of Education and regular index as to the whereabouts, or whatabouts of any paper. important or unimportant, which has been through her hands. That is no small accomplishment because such papers are innumerable. Mrs. Gould, as attendance secretary is also a vital cog in the wheels which run not only the high school but the entire public school system in our city. Mrs. Gould and Miss Westxfeer could be termed the mates who handle the ropes for their chief Dr. Fell. He, the admiral, here confers with our captain jock Riemersma. Their mutual interests and problems are often discussed in this manner. Thirty years of experience as Superintendent of the Holland Schools have left Dr. Fell an optimist to cheer on flagging spirits of any of his co-workers. Equally cheerful about obstacles which seem mountainous to a student's younger inexperi- enced eyes is Mr. Riemersma. Perhaps their optimism and cheerfulness are both accounted for by the fact that they have had a chance to meet these same perplexi- ties on many previous occasions, and are conhdent that there is always a solution. This entire group is a commanding force of which we are proud. T91

Cfan't you hear the familiar voice of Prof Hanson pointing out with his usual vigor an article in his favorite newspaper? Mr. Weiss, Mr. Damson, Mr. Breen and Miss Steketee also be- lieve that current history is as impor- tant as that of ye good olde days . As the junior High history quartet swings the globe, Miss Bishop and Miss Geerlings seem optimistic about the European situation. Perhaps Mr. Van Lente has announced a happy solution to this war menace. If the constitution behind him can't verify each remark probably Miss Bylsma can. We are sorry Miss Denton couldn't be present. This science group listens spell- bound as Miss Rogers describes her model. Mr. Chapman, who is backed up by an atom chart, is as interested as Mr. Bennett in the cornstalk mold. Miss La Dick left her physiology ac- complice, Billy Bones in the closet and even Mr. Geerlings lacks his usual CLllllPlUCfll'fW'l1f!f, no camera? Theres nothing phony about Miss Linnea Nelson's business con- versation. Wliile Mr. Carter adds to the progress of Miss Minnie Nelson's typing, Miss McClellan inspects a paper from the file.
