Top row: Hazel Bechtold, Vivian Branyan, Hugh Brown, Bottom row: Glenn Hummer, Harold Johnson, Alice Kline, Miss MINNIE HOFFMAN Those students who haven't had Miss Hoffman sometimes feel slight- ly ‘out of things’ when their friends start conversing so intelligibly in German, due to that teacher's ef- forts, In addition to her German classes, she also reveals the mys- teries of space in a geometry class, Miss WANDA HUBARTT Miss Hubartt, who was acquainted with many of us because of her work in grade schools, spent her first year as a member of the H, H. S. faculty teaching home ec.,, safety, and health, As if this did not ab- sorb enough of her time, she ac- cepted the sponsorship of the M. M.S. committee, which in turn has had a very successful year. GLEN HUMMER “Butch’—or you may call him “Molly’—cuts up frogs in most of his classes but has managed to slip in one health class, He is an as- sistant football coach, co-advisor of the Biology Research Club, and sole sponsor of the school’s Booster Club, Last year Coach Hummer’s swimm- ing team brought home National Y. M. GC. A, Swimming Champion- ship from Boston, Massachusetts, Talk about bacon! HAROLD JOHNSON Not only is he the high school representative in the teacher’s coun- cil, but he is also president of that organization of city teachers, Mr, Johnson—some people call him “Sonny’’—teaches history and civics and is responsible for a new class open to seniors which deals with current problems, He is Hunting- ton High’s track coach, Miss Arice KLINE This teacher of home ec, is spon- sor of the largest organization in the school, the Sunshine Society, and in connection with this, she is the adviser of the Big and Little Sister committee of the S.S, In addition to her Sunshine work, Miss Kline has another very great re- sponsibility, that of costuming the dance choruses for the annual Re- vue, Miss EMMA KLINE This Miss Kline not only teaches Lowell Buzzard, Hazel Cage, James Crowe.

GUIDANCE GROUP Russell Perrigo, Jennie B. Wilson, Bernice Hillegas, Bruce Emma Kline, Gerdes. Faculty Mrs HazeLt BECHTOLD Instead of the “‘truant officer” of years ago, we have an attendance officer who is well liked by all of the students who know her, Do you play hooky a lot? She may be found in room 110 taking care of atten- dance records, Mrs, VIVIAN BRANYAN Mrs, Branyan, supervisor of mu- sic in the Huntington public schools, waves a baton at the chorus, Glee Club and A Capella Choir, Those who attended the Twelfth Annual Revue will not soon forget the fine rendition of the “Ballad for Am- ericans” by her singers, HucH H, Brown If he isn’t found teaching the boys the ancient craft of wood- work, it may be because at that particular time he’s teaching his class of girls in home mechanics. This is the first year for the girls class in Huntington High, but we feel sure that some day it will really be appreciated by hus- bands whose wives can fix the sweeper or put in fuses, LOWELL SHERMAN BuzzaARD He returned to his alma mater to teach math, and holds the position of supervisor of math of the city public schools, This year ‘‘Sherm” is acting in the capacity of junior Hi-Y sponsor, freshman basketball coach, and the all important (to the seniors) junior class sponsor, Miss HazeL CAGE She’s the new head of the Eng- lish department; consequently, her sophomore and senior English class- es understand that they are being “experimented” with this year, Al- though the duties of State Treasur- er of the 8.8, Riley Fund, sponsor of the Needlework Guild, and the Rifle and Sharpshooters’ clubs de- mand a great part of her time, she now and then takes time for her favorite diversion, the theatre, JAMES CROWE He teaches physical education and health, but that’s of minor import- ance to most of us; for “Jim” is director of athletics, and this year has given us one of the most prom- inent teams in the state. He’s also “H” club sponsor, M, McCaBe Day Into room 310 come many people every day asking, ‘“‘Where’s Pop?”, a question to which there are many possible answers: he might be any- where taking care of his business as head of the audio-visual depart- ment, adviser of the operator’s club, adviser to the Modulus staff, and maker of Revues; or he might, just might, be teaching his newscast or English classes, Until we met “Pop,” we thought there were only twenty-four hours in a day. Miss MABEL ELLIS It's a long way from popes to pupils, but Miss Ellis’s Huropean history students enjoy hearing her tell of present day Rome and the Vatican City as she has seen them, Guidance The idea of a centralized gui- dance system ceased to be an idea and became a fact last fall when students began receiving slips to 208-A to be “‘counseled’”’, Last year the four counselors, Mr, Perrigo, Mrs, Hillegas, Mr. Gerdes, and Miss Emma Kline, and Miss Wilson, head of the department, visited the high schools of Muncie, Logansport, La- fayette, and South Bend to observe their guidance departments, Out of this study, our system was formed, Remember that day in library when some unknown person pushed a pass slip under your nose that said “To 208-A’? And then how your footsteps followed you hollow- ly down unusually empty halls, and hesitated for just a minute outside the door while you tried to figure out exactly what was going to hap- pen? Then a very familiar voice said, “Hello,” and suddenly you were perfectly at ease in a dark red leather chair, its chromium trim feeling cool to your hands, You noticed the other light leather and chrome chairs, the desk and filing cabinets; and for a moment you thought of the class of 1940, which had given them to the school, Then you became interested in the conversation which, incidentally, was all about yourself, When it was all over, you felt a little more im- portant and decided the whole thing a good idea, Coinciding with her study of his- tory is her interest in antiques, “Anything a hundred years old,” BrRucE E, GERDES He teaches bookkeeping, account- ing, and shorthand to our commer- cially minded students, and is coun- cilor of the sophomore class, His classes are accustomed to hearing him say, “I heard a good one the other day,” LESTER GORDON Mr, Gordon was not unknown to many of the students when he took his place on the H.H.S, faculty last fall, for some had been taught by him in Riley grade school, and many of the fellows had been call- ing him “Dad’’ Gordon for quite awhile, the title conferred upon him as adviser of the local Order of De- Molay, ‘il
