THE MODULUS From Caesar to Einstein Mathematics and Science Teach- ers (at right): Hoffman, Wat- son, Plasterer, Ridgway, Tennpie, ton. AND can we ever boast of variety? If you don ' t believe it just look over our faculty! We have all sizes, types and complexions repre- sented. And not only are they different, but they are representatively varied. Now that is really not as complicated as it seems, for we simply mean that they represent the ancient- est of ancient and the modernest of moderns ! Actually, from Caesar to Einstein! Smiling and blond we wish to introduce Miss Beatrice Brown. Her j stature is short but oh ! the brains in her head are full of Latin verbs and nouns as well as the philosophy of debating! Through her help the team may be termed as a success. Tweet! Tweet! Birdies need sunshine. As a bird needs a cage, so Miss Hazel Cage needs Sunshine and so the Sunshine Society needs Miss Cage. Bobbing around in that golden barred cage, she draws the attention of the Sun- shiners. Her song she sings is called Sunshine, and as an encore number she sings the teaching oc English. In teaching the essentials of French, this teacher, Miss Deirdre McMullan, is a genuine. Her knowledge of France is so great that she has a chance of being elected to the French Academy. A-hem ! So far we have not produced a John Barry- more, but Miss Lulu Rupert bids fair to coach a future dramatic celebrity. Teaching English is the key to dramatics, and Miss Rupert is the lock the key fits. Her management of girls gave Miss Cora Altman the supreme position as the Dean of Girls. We .just study English like we never stu- died before in her classes. That ' s a very dis- tinguished compliment, Miss Altman! English is an art that Miss Ella Moore has conquered in a beautiful way. Certainly she has the patience of Job even to try to dig down into our brains and try to see if that old head is working the way it should. A smiling and delightful face we encounter as we file into the German and Algebra classes. When the Freshies make a mistake it surely is Miss Minnie Hoff ' man who can see the humor in it and liven them by laughing and telling them she hopes that they will improve with time. In writing of Miss Virginia Watson we are referring to the amiable, capable Junior advisor, English and Foreign Languagi Teachers (at left) : B. Brown Cage, McMullan, Runert, All man, Moore With that frown on her face in this picture she is just trying to fool us, for really she is a mosl lovable type. With a test tube in his hand emerged EiflFe; Plasterer. He would probably retort to Mr Galileo ' s experiment by dropping a bass horn from the Eifi ' el Tower. Physics, Chemisty, and a knowledge of jazz music pictures the mustach- ioed Mr. Plasterer. We like him ! The ability of Miss Dorothy Ridgway as a teacher of algebra is marvelous. She wall get something into those folks ' skulls whether they ' re hard or not. Her idea of nothing to do just isn ' t. She is as busy as a bee all the time. The temple of mathematics is presided over by Mrs. Carrie Templeton. She is a pastor mas- ter of the laws concerning points, lines, and sec- tors in all their phases. Respected, beloved, ard- ent in her work, she either will answer any ques- tion on mathematics or will look it up. Mathe- matically speaking, the impossible is possible with her until satisfactorily proved otherwise. Page Four December, 1930

THE MODULUS The Powers That Be J. M. Scudder pWENTY-FIVE years ago, when Mr. Scudder came to Huntington High School, it was still oused in the old Central building which super- sded the present modern structure. The female ortion of the two hundred and fifty students ppeared each morning in long braids and wear- ing the characteristic bustles of the times. Long since the bus- tles have been pressed and laid away in mohair trunks ; the braids have yielded to the bar- ber ' s shears and are now obedi- ently growing out again as fash- ion pivots its way around the wheel of time. Where at that time there were only ten teach- ers to impart words of wisdom 3 the interested, darlings, we ow have about thirty such of- enders to a grand total of six undred and fifty scholars. And doubt in after years when we link of the beautiful structure f our education we will have isions of burnt pies, hammered lumbs, and escaped snakes, all 2presentatives of departments lat have been added under Mr. cudder ' s jurisdiction. During most of this long irm, he has been guarded, assisted, and instruct- i by Miss Metta Leedy who serves as his clerk, he stands guard at the door to send any petty offenders on their way. And without any flat- tery we can truthfully say that we couldn ' t do without her. Next we come to the — V man Mr. Scudder af- W fectionately calls Bud- ' ▼. dy. This man is of un- Bk usual power and influ- ence for his stature. If you doubt this just ask ' ■ ' ' ' ' anyone who happens to violate a rule of Hunt- ington High School and is caused to account to the principal. They might feel like replying, It isn ' t the school, it is just the principal of the thing! In addition to his duties as supervisor, Mr. Byers enjoys the renown ofp teaching the most popular class in school. It is also interest- ing to note that Romeo and Juliet, the famous love drama, is on this course of study; and while we are not trying to take any of the personal glory from Mr. Byers, it might be possible that some of the innocent Sen- iors are anxious to learn the art making as explained C. E. Byers Wiss Metta Leedy Miss Fredith Langiey E. V. Fitch of love here. Fv ' ftH before we can enter the ' » B sanctuary of Mr. Byers ' office we must confront a Certain Person of Importance that reigns there in royal state. Of t H course we refer to Miss Fredith H Langiey, whose autograph on . ' B pass slips and the like is prized as highly as those of King George himself. Sometimes she must appear stern with us, but after all, we know she is only human. Perhaps the greatest of the powers that be is the inevident, all powerful, school board. This is composed of three members. E. V. Fitch serves as President. Mrs. Mildred Coolman as Treasurer, and J. L. Brenn as Sec- retary. We are proud to say that each member of the School Board has children in the public schools, and thus knows the needs. Coolman J. L. Brenn ecem ' ber, 1930 Page Three

THE MODULUS IIThisjVocational Business T HERE is much discussion given in these ' modern days to what may be termed this ocational business. But no correct understand- ng may be had of what it is all about in this ;entury without knowing what the world has 3een doing in preceding milleniums. So we in- :]ude with the Vocational group those who teach IS History and prepare us to begin where the .vorld has left off. Ever a heart has George Eberhart! ' ft His History and Commercial feachers (at right) : Day. iberhart. Bucher. Al- vood, Easter, Tyner, rhraiiki Tyner. In case your memory is not on the job, one of the sayings of Miss Tyner goes, Please quote your authority. ' ' Some of us think we really can give some pretty good reports in Miss Nellie Thrailkill ' s classes when we sally forth from our seats to the front of the room to make our reputations. In case you don ' t know what she teaches, it ' s Civics and Economics. Clum Bucher is the guy who can teach His- tory most effectively wearing black and white shoes. And get a kick out of this if you can, he also coaches football and the all famous Scyldings. Day cannot become night, but apparently McCabe Day can make it become night. Mr. Day changed day into night, for time could not be found during the produc- tion of the Revue except during the night time. He also lends light to the dark ages of history. Vocational Teach- ers (at left): Brown, Eechtold. Michael, Brown. Sayle, A. Kline, IWanoney, E, Kline eal ambition is to become a bigger and better )ook-keeper and to let people go out of his classes n order to secure positions in the mint and treas- iry of the United States. That keyboard will just have to be memor- zed before very long, claims Miss Beatrice Eas- er, the resurrection and the light of fast typing, s we hear the patter of her feet on the floor, ve nearly strangle ourselves trying to swallow ;um or get rid of it some other miraculous way. Three cheers for the Senior sponsor. Miss Al- vood I ! She has the administration of Short- land and Latin, that extremely dead language, lut acquaintance proves it has not deadened her. besides, she guides the class of ' 31 through the rying conflicts of Junior and Senior experiences. Running along Miss Martha Tyner ' s line is listory, a subject that never grows old. You lave to be up on your toes to keep up with Miss Smiling and with a personality that is inviting you to like him, Fred Mahoney teaches the boys machine work. He cannot be beaten in the teaching of this parti- cular course. Fellows, you don ' t know what you ' re missing if you ' re not taking this splendid course under Mr. Mahoney. Another artist in his owoi trade is Hugh Brown. Woodwork is the thing for boys who have a natural tendency for carpentry. Here is a chance to give your best girl friend a gift that she would cherish, boys. Who can that be with that raccoon coat so proudly wrapped around her shoulders? It surely is not a puzzle. It is the prim little Miss Geraldine Brown in person. She is in the racket of now, not reporting, but sewing. She had the reputation of making the beautiful blue curtain for the operetta. Am I right? I think so. (Continued on Page ThirtyTwo December, 1930 Page Five
