M. C. I H' S. ':-ii Orange and Black ,li I l l 1 1 MRS. ARMSTRONG. They knew her but to love her and named her but to praise. Cherryvale could not help being sorry to lose her, but just that once did we rejoice in Cherryvale's misfortune. Mrs. Armstrong teaches History and Economics, two very broad subjects which keep growing and widen- ing year by year. Success is bound, however, to come to the deserving, MR. WOOD, Kansas State Manual Training Normal School. There is something appealing about M. C. H. S., something that has a tendency to draw back those who have left. That is why we have Mr. Wood, in the Manual Training department. Anything worth while takes much practice to obtain it. Instrumental music is one of such. In this Mr. Wood is accomplished, .especially at piano. What? Surprised T' It is really so. , MISS GILMAN, A. B., Midland college. A happy go-lucky, care free little girl. Surely anyone so jolly will be missed by those who are leaving, never to return. She is an active worker in the Y. W. and a brilliant singer. There are Caesar and Virgil to choose between as to the one liked best, but the real choice will be Miss Gilman every time. , MISS VAN ARSDALE, A. B., University of Kansas. There's a reason why they like her and no one need wonder why. In the first place, who could help it? It is impossible to imagine her in any other work than monarch of all she surveys in her own department showing others the proper method in which to boil water without scorch- ing it. MISS DEWHIRST, B. S., Kansas State Manual Training Normal. I do -HI don't',- I do -until the last petal had been pulled from its center in the daisy. The result? Neither fate nor evidence', would be so cruel as to leave it in the negative. The Domestic Art work has been a splendid success under her supervision and everyone has surely enjoyed having her with us this year. MR. MARKLEY, Kansas University. t'Here lies Josephus Brown, Never to rise anymore. He took what he thot was H20 And instead 'twas HZSO4. No, Mr. Markley will never make that mistake if chemistry symbols are a preventative. His aversion is for the term professor, MR. DAVIS, Kansas State Normal. Mr. Davis has mathematics, a subject in which the imagination has to play a big part and especially in the discussion of the fourth dimension. The Mathematics Club is an organization under his supervision. This shows the interest taken by Mr. Davis in forwarding the work of M. C. H. S. Eighteen u1921I t A .

M. C. H. S. I Orange and Black 111 MISS DAVIS. . One often hears the remark- they are gone but not forgotten, and we wonder in just how many instances it is true. But the students in M. C. H. S. know of one case in which it is undoubtedly so. Shortly after the Xmas holidays, Miss Davis left us to take up new work in a new Held. She put heart and soul into her work here and made .a splendid success, which was the only one thing possible with such talent. MISS OTTO. Just one of those whole souled persons who do the right thing at the right time and who live with the joy that comes from making worldly pains a litttle less hard to bear. One who rejoices in the thought of hav- ing done good and who gladly has given her time to teach a class in Home Nurses' Training of High School girls who found it possible to enroll. And now don't you think her's is a case of preaching what you practice ? MR GOEPFERT. Whenever the Orchestra plays in Chapel we have the sensation of being lifted to a heaven of happiness. It's all because of the wonderful results obtained from the training given by the able instructor, Mr. Goep- fert. As a student body, the programs are surely appreciated, but un- doubtedly the benefit obtained by the members of the Orchestra from the training is by far greater. MISS COOPER, Librarian. Many are the troubled places that Miss Cooper smoothes away, wil- lingly hunting that elusive something wanted by so many students. Day after day there is the same hurry to find the article assigned for the next class. How patient and sincere Miss Cooper is, accommodating all to the fullest extent of her ability. MRS. SHIVE, Study Hall Supervisor. In vain has been the search for something that would justly express appreciaton to Mrs. Shive for the many things she has done for us. The position has been ahard one to fill, yet we have a feeling that she has done her duty and done it ably. Every day she realizes that pupils are very much different than they were a few short years ago when she was a student. But yet-are they? During the absence of Miss Cooper early in the fall because of inju- ries received in an auto accident, Miss Pearl Lyons of the Coffeyville City Library was employed to discharge the duties of librarian at the High School.
