VICTOR JONES-Grade shop, physical education, athletics fhasketball, football, baseballj, N. T. agriculture. Mr. Jones was a genuine farmer last summer, helping his father with his problems, in addition to managing an eighty on his own accord. There never was an athletic director who didn't enjoy fishing, and this one was no exception. To keep in extra spiffy trim during the winter, Mr. Jones did a bit of bowling. The draft threatened in April, got him in May. MISS RUTH MEYER-Smith-Hughes home manage- ment, adult night-school, junior co-sponsor. It was a Victory garden, sewing, knitting, cooking and, quoting Miss Meyer, whatnot Qean't we hear her say it?J that took time last summer. Fall brought the regular school duties, together with the extras, such as, Red Cross knitting and sewing, and the hot lunch project. Shows created a little color. It is whispered -there was a trip te Chicago. But, hush, don't tell on her. MISS MIRIAM PETERSON- Bookkeeping, t y p i n g, shorthand, co-sponsor of Wildcat Wail. By way of serving as a delegate to a National church conference, Miss Peterson got herself a trip and a week's visit at Minneapolis last summer. Otherwise she did gardening, housework, office work and, if the snapshot tells the truth, some farming. Miss Peterson finds rest from the regular routine of school work or household cares in reading and sewing, or in erocheting and embroidering. MRS. BERNICE SMITH-juiiior high English, geog- raphy, law, business training. One teacher after another dropped off the faculty roll, and at midyear, Mrs. Smith kindly came in to stuff a gap here, fill a rip there. As she had been in the system before, her appearance on the teaching force was indeed most welcome. Mrs. Smith is one of those capable persons who uses .i pen, pushes a lawnmower, and wields a Cooking spoon-all with equal efficiency. Nephew john helps.
