Miss Mary ELIzABETH SEES She is another one of our in- structors who was graduated from our own alma mater and returned to teach within the portals, her subjects being typing, safety and commercial law, Miss Sees has a whole lot of one of those traits so appreciated by students—a lasting good humor. Miss NELLIE THRAILKILL In civics, sociology, or economics, every senior at one time comes un- der the direction of Miss Nellie Thrailkill, and all have complied to her favorite request for “a con- cusion,”’ She has charge of scholar- ship awards to seniors and of the school Junior Red Cross, Miss FLORENCE WEIFORD One of our teachers whose com- petency enables some of us to un- derstand that the “product of the means equals the product of the extremes’’—or was it the other way around? In addition to four hours spent in teaching algebra, Miss Weiford teaches one class in gen- eral math, High Schoo Last fall, in order to comply with the requirements of the North Cen- tral Association, the library had its face lifted, Miss Margaret Ness was installed as a licensed librarian to have full charge of the library proper; stacks were set up in the east end of the library to hold the books that had formerly lined the walls of the room; the number of fiction books was greatly increased to fill the demands of the English students; $500 was used to purchase new books in accordance with the requirements of the N. C, A.; sub- scriptions to thirty-five magazines were renewed, excluding those do- n ated; the system of reserved books was introduced; two student as- sistants were at the desk each period as an accommodation to the student body; all of the cataloguing and most of the repairing of books are taken care of within the de- partment, Due to this new system, circula- tion has increased above the aver- age of approximately two hundred books per month of former years to Miss JENNIE B, WILSON Her students have labored long over compositions for her senior composition and other English class- es; but they all think it’s been worth it, “Jennie B.” has charge of the guidance department and is a member of the auditorium com- mittee, DALE WARE This physical geography, biology, and safety teacher is kept busy by the duties of a sophomore class adviser, senior Hi-Y sponsor, and co-adviser of the Biology Club; but his most outstanding achieve- ment was the mid-winter vacation from which he returned minus an appendix and about thirty pounds, an accomplishment envied by more than one girl, T. DELMAR WEESNER Now, whenever Huntington High’s band goes to a contest, we know beforehand that it will carry away honors, and many times top honors, due to Mr, Weesner’s able conduct- ing. Besides directing the high school band, Mr, Weesner performs the duties of the director of the city school bands. Library the maximum of 2500 one month this year, Next summer all of the old issues of magazines are to be made into bound volumes, Thus, RosBertT CUSSEN We've known Bob Cussen, head custodian of Huntington High, since our first high school footkall games, He says that although he’s not much of a hobbyest, he does col- lect old coins and fire arms, but that of all things, he’d rather fish than do anything else, EMERY TELFER While at dinner Mr, Telfer likes to listen to radio dramas; he men- tioned two favorites, However, when he’s in a strictly listening mood, he prefers symphonic or- chestrations, Other spare time he enjoys using for the purpose of driving ‘just anywhere’, This was Mr. Telfer’s eighteenth year as a custodian, DENNIS NOWELS We threatened to say that Den- nie’s hobby was parachute jumping unless he told us what it really was; so now we concede, maybe it is; however, he does like pie, Den- nie works on the night shift at the time when only the ghosts of eight hundred students remain to walk the halls where the buzzers sound, having met the requirement of the North Central Association, Hunt- ington High may pride itself on being a Class A school,

MONITORS The monitor system was estab- lished to avoid student collisions and general confusion in the halls, Chosen each semester, the standing and sitting monitors give valuable service in the maintenance of or- der in the school, both between and during classes, Standing mon- itors serve during the time in which students pass from room to room, while sitting monitors remain in the halls during classes to see that not too great a number of persons roam the corridors. The monitors’ party, “Easter Hop,” was held on May 5, The sponsor of the sitting monitors is Mr, Stephan, and for the standing monitors Miss Ellis, Miss Hoffman, and Miss Weiford, val
