Glenn HiamnGr Kliss Emma Kline With nary a splash or ripple, Molly Hummer, our biology tea- cher and football coach, slid into the water. And that is no hyper- bole I You who have seen our new faculty jnombor pursue his hobby know this for the very essence of truth. Some people swim like steam boats, but Glenn Hummer swims like a gold fish. In the University of Illinois and again at Vfeshington, Mr. Hurmer placed in swimming meets. He has been entered in four or five A.A.U. meets, winning first place in one of them and placing in the rest, Harold Johnson I ' m no big game hunter, said Harold Johnson, our boy ' s gym tea- cher and basketball coach, ' .Ve beg to disagree. VTho could have more to do with those big games we have been having than the coach, himself? When Mr. Johnson uttered that fatal phrase he was referring to his hobby. In the summer he goes to the lakes in Northern Wisconsin where he fishes and fishes. His rifle stands in the corner. Does he use it? Sven yotir best bullet won ' t tell you. Miss Alice Kline What do you want for dinner,- Lady? asks Miss Alice Kline, our clothing teacher, of her dog, Bones, bones, says Lady, Do you believe that? Well, neither do we, but the ICLines say that Alice and her thorough -bred collie can carry on a conversation. It was two years ago that Kliss IQine brought her collie pup home from a nearby kennel. They named it Virginia ' s Lady, Since then Lady has become the pride of the family. Miss Smma Kline was the chief moiirner at the funeral of the poor alligator who was so oruelly de- bourod by the opossum. Strangely enough she does not collect alligators. Popeye was merely sent her from Florida. Her collections are not nearly so edible. For instance, she collects old papers, tiny pictures, and the dolls you sec in the cut. But Miss ICLine ' s hobbies do not end here. She also spends her time writing to her niece, Virginia Black, of Bos- ton, It is Virginia ' s picture you see perched on the table beside her. Smma supervises the home eco- nomic departments. Miss Ruth Luther If you coax or push her for a- bout half a block, Stella, Misa Pluth Luther s car might take you some place, f hcn Stella is too cross to be reasoned with. Miss Luther, our girl ' s gym teacher, has to content herself with taking pictures, read- ing books, making quilts, catching butterflies, or rrriting poetry. The K, of C, Post, the Country Bard, and the book, Poems In and Out of Season , published by the Fireside Press, have accepted poems of hers, Fred I honey Because on Easter morning, some j ' -ears ago, Fred Mahoney, our forge teacher, came homo to find two cows instead of one, he named the xxQYfcomoT Lily, Lily is a very contented cow for she is treated like one of the faDiily except for the fact that his frmily eats out of his pocket book while the cow eats out of his hrjid, Mr, Mahoney is an authority on the virtues of fresh inilk, ' ' All that I am , says ho, I owe to Lily,

M McCabe Day Iviiss Mabel Ellis ' iVhen just nine years old McCabe Day, our history and jour- nalism teacher, climbed up on the bench in front of the organ at his father ' s church and proceeded to play his first piece. By the time he left for collece he had gained quite a reputation for hiinself. It was shortly after this that he be- came the organist at the Methodist Church, a position he has held for twelve years. In his library at homejvtr. Day has 800 compositions. He plays 7 numbers each Sunday. As he rarely repeats during the year, he aver- ages 300 different selections. Miss Beatrice Easter It is a pretty state of af - fairs when the journalism depart- ment has to feed bananas to the un- derfed facultyl It is some depression when folks like Miss Beatrice Salter, our short-hand and tj ' ping teacher, have to beg food. It is something av ful when we can ' t tell you in plain English that Liiss Easter had to pose twice, eat two bananas, and leave two classes, in order to have her hobby picture taken. Her hobby is eat- ing, George Eberhart Did you hear the story about George Eberhart , our ooramorcial teacher, and Arthur Lettering? No? Well, vra heard that Eberhart is al- ways Taking him up , althoujli what Art did to get taken up on we can ' t quite understand. Anyhow, the story goes that lAr. Eberhr rt has always been inter- ested in vrriting, printing, and the like, so when he sees a now type of lettering he spends his spare time mastering it. So as a conquering hero, we took his picture. She has table, a chest iliss Mabel Ellis, our new his- tory teacher, is collecting anti- ques. Most of her antiques are heir- looms, and although she is not quite certain as to their exact age, most of them are old enough to kiiov7 bettor. a walnut drop-leaf of drawers, a spin- ning wheel and a whatnot, both over 100 years old, a marblo-top tablo, and a pair of quaint vases, of which she is very proud. Miss Alice Gray Ughl Llo saveyl So through motions and grimts, Miss Alice Gray finally purchased another of her Indian baskets. Every summer our art super- visor spends some time at her cot- tage on Haldpool Island where a Canadian Indian reservation is also located. It was here that she started her collection years ago. Miss Gray collects stones as well as baskets. Pebbles from beaches and mountains, stones from every journey, are Miss Grays sou- venirs. She wadod into a river for a bright stone last summorl Ivliss iJlinnie Hoffman Ach! I have no hobby, says Miss Hoffman, Weill, how about the quilt you made? Do you call that a hobby? How about working with your Juniors? That ' s no hobby, said sho, Yvell, says wo, rather put out, you know, what is your hobby? Oh, grading papers and un- locking lockers. And thus ended an interview with Miss Hofftaan, algebra, German teacher, and Junior Class Advisor.
