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

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: Specialists All PLENTY of people are fair, pretty good, or rather semi . But after ali, those are the folks you never hear much about. If you want to be remembered, if you really get good, you ' ll have to specialize!! And just as a little added incentive to your future ambitions, we present these people, who in their respec- tive lives are — Specialists All. Did you say shock us ! Mr. Shock amazes us. We are just won- dering how W. A. Shock does all his work. We know it to be a fact ., , 1 ■ , ■ Supervisors: Kriegbaum. Shock, that his work is seemingly mountain high. But some how or other he gets it done. The warbler of the school, if there ever was one, is Mrs. Branyan. Music is considered an art and one of the highest ones there ever can be. Her work in the coaching of the operetta is a fine type of workmanship. You are doing fine! Just once more! She would not think of discourag- ing us unmusical creatures. Anyone who has just a little bit of talent should go to Miss Alice Jean Gray and let her develop it. She ' ll make it count! Don ' t think she won ' t! Art is an asset to any .student ' s accompli. h- ments, whether big or small, regardless of size and shape. The man we all look- up to is Delmar Weesner! And most especially the mem- bers of the band and orches- tra, whose pet defects he eli- minates to produce That Perfect Harmony which re- sounds over the building from morn ' till night. The busiest man on this side of the earth is Paul Kriegbaum. Ah ! My He really is unusual. He is so large, too, that b can be every place at one time. His every inter est is in his basketball team, and a good one, toe A very second Knute Rockne, don ' t you think Anyway, we think so. Dancing seem to be the hobb; of Miss Alice Mil ler. Really, folks we believe he feet are mounte( on springs o something at an; rate. She ' s com ing to the fron of our gym clas now with — At tention! Girls!! ' secrets, but her Weesner, Gray. Miller, Branyan, Weiford. John Mosher, Robert Cussen. Maybe we are telling it goes. Miss Florence Weiford has a blue win! just like a little bird. In case you don ' t kno just what a blue wink is, we don ' t know whor to give you as a reference. Ask her to show i to you some time in Library. When we have a pain or ache we go to Mrs Elizabeth Sayle, the keepe of the medicines, and she soo: will relieve us of this pe peeve of ours. In regard to truancj how we dodge Mrs. Haze Bechtold ' s appearance is pi c claimed in three little words Don ' t play hookey! Jim Kiser is the hea ' custodian of our school, an he certainly knows the P ' and Q ' s of his job. John Mos her and Robert Cussen ar Jim ' s able assistants. An( they ' re the ones we mus thank for the imaculate ap pearance of our building stage properties, and a hun dred little things! Don ' think we ' re ungrateful! W realize what you do for us!
