M. C. H,S, Orange, and Black I ii 1 Fl'lIfl.lLTY MR. NEES, B. S. Valparaiso University, A. M. Baker University. For twenty-two years Mr. Nees has been principal of M. C. H. S. and rightfully may he be called the Captain of the Ship. In spite of ofiice and class room duties, he finds time for recreatiofrr. Being very fond of tennis, he may often be found out on the courts playing to his heart's content, if winning. Bowling is his favorite indoor sport. Of all things imaginable, Mr. Nees least expected to take up teaching as a life profession. It isn't always best for one's neighbor that one think of him- self first. MR. CASTILLC. Kansas State Normal School. Agriculture and sciences, sometimes one science, sometimes another. He is one who practices what he preachesv and knows from experience what he teaches. He enjoys fun as much as the boys and girls, and does a lot of inventing along that line. Mr. Castillo is assistant principal and knows all about keeping several hundred students in working order when called upon to do so. MISS PATERSON, Kansas State Normal, A.M. Teachers' College. Did you ever think of something that seemed possible but almost improbable? Then here is a test: M. C. H. S. without Miss Paterson. English is her specialty. The recent debate series was under her super- vision. Without Miss Paterson, Y. W. would be like a car without an engine. Another impossibility is to express our appreciation to her for all she has 'done for us. MISS STEVENS, A. B., University of Kansas. Can you imagine Miss Stevens as being a professional nurse, admin- istering care to the helpless in Mercy Hospital, or would it be easier to see her passing her leisure hours on the tennis court unmercifully defeat- ing her opponent? Anyway, just take her on the next hike and see how you like it. Great fun! MR. BEAL, A. B. Baker University. Exercise is the only means through which the body can be kept young. Mr. Beal will always be young if that is so. He is a comrade as well as a leader among the students. Several cups have come to Fourteen I 1921-I

M.C. H. S. U Orange and Black i M. C. H. S. through his work, and truly does M. C. H. S. love him, not only for what he has done but for what he is. MISS STEWART, A. B. Ottawa University. Quiet, reserved, but do you know her? A friend? Yes. There are two things in which she delights, typewriting and stenography. Who wouldn't like to know how to write as fast as one could talk? Oh! wouldn't the speed limit be broken though? MISS RUSSELL, A. B. University of Kansas. A lover of nature and all things natural could most truly be said of Miss Russell, instructor of English I and II. Why does she always remind one of smilax? There are many that never having had her instructon have never had her friendship either. But one person can never know everyone else any more than one person can count every star. MISS INGLEMAN, A. B., Unversity of Kansas. I To know her is considered a liberal education in itself. For many years Miss Ingleman was instructor in English I and II with the Fresh- men. Since promotion she has English III and IV. Humorous as it may seem, Miss Ingleman has had a lifelong desire to teach English in the Hawaiian Islands. When planning a picnic don't fail to invite Miss Ingleman, if a good time is desired, she can't be beat. MISS EVANS, Kansas State Normal School. Surely they sank Out on the Deep for nothing has been heard of them for ages. Miss Evans' work is of such a nature that we very often hear from her, especially in Chapel. And who enjoys anything more than we the morning the orchestra plays, or the glee clubs sing? MR. BAKER, Kansas State Normal School. A business teacher of business principles is Mr. Baker. Though in class room 254224, and a pocket veto is without signature, 'outside of class not all is stern reality. Mr. Baker used to be county superintend- ent but he finds that he likes the associations of high school folks the MISS O'BRIEN, A. B., University of Kansas. Does one's safety depend upon the driver? In a car, yes, but who is responsible with a broncho? Miss O'Brien can tell you either in Eng- lish, French or Spanish, just as you like. There are many reasons why we hate to leave M. C. H. S., and Miss O'Brien is one of them. It seems very difhcult to keep an instructor in this department. How- ever, fortune favors us. Even though a good teacher is lost, the effi- ciency of the department is never lowered by the inauguration of a new one. Expression and oral English are favorite subjects with many. Who isn't glad that Miss Lutz decided to come to M. C. H. S. rather than to l better of the two. MISS LUTZ, Oral English and Expression. become manager of a dramatic company? Sixteen It f1921I
