Mr. Loree has great patience and is always Willing to help everyone out of difficulty. The problems of Mr. Henshaw may lie likened to the chilclren ofthe old woman who lived in the shoe, too numerous to mention, but thev all come under the classilication of work.

Everyone of our teachers is skilled in his or her job, hut this skill does not include the stiffness and the sternness of the old professors. Each of them acts toward his students as human beings. Now not onlv is the classroom informal, but the teacher also mixes freely in his leisure time and takes part in student activities. So, here at Hollidayshurg High School, instead of the dreary silences that used to follow an instructor's explanation, questions galore fly at every teacher in our school, and, swamped or not, they try to answer them. Pupils are made to feel perfectly free in these questions. Although some funny ideas pop up, it makes the explanation clear to all. Teachers mix with the students at our hasket- hall and football games and no certain section is reserved, just for the facultyu. ln fact, no teacher would like this for he finds that pupils work better when they know their instructor is a Hregular fellow . As far as activities go-why, Miss Harpster can be seen any noontime gamely trying to beat some of her little ones Crlihev usuallv winlj at ping-pong. Both the mehihers of the junior high faculty and those of senior high can be often found at the HY bowling lfl N ll? - AEIBB either among themselves or with some stu- dents. Such activity on the part of the faculty not only amuses them, hut it also develops the student in such a way that he is not afraid to say what he wants to in class. Certainly these actions on the part of the teachers are a great asset. The men teachers of our comhined faculties present to the school one of its hest entertain- ments,---The Variety Showlll Surely no Broadway production could luring as many laughs as a chorus of men teachers showing otfn, or a group of them in a melodrama, The school can depend on the faculty to support itl The tirst subscribers to the activi- tics tickets were the teachers. Following their example the students hought over four hun- dred ll In The lunior High Circus Wir. 'lischop made a spectacular ringleaderg Nlr. Thompson with his tin pan hand was the laugh hit of the showg and ixlrs. Swallow's animal act was terrifving. Yvith as great a faculty as we have at H- Burg, it is easy to see why every student is able to call his teacher more than professor . Because he is hetter ahle to understand, through his individualism, the things his instructor wants, he is lietter ahle to get a well-rounded education.
