FACULTY OUR JU DGES APPLAUDED US A jointure was necessary to make lrwin a bigger school, but the teachers have always been on the bandwagon to make it better. lt is our old standbys plus new faculty members who with their warm friendship, thoughtful advising and wise counseling have helped to do this. Let's look at the group in the office. Mrs. Stauffer is the one on the left. One of her original ideas, the Rogue's Gallery, was excep- tionally popular at the Circus. She checked in the freshmen girls and enjoyed it. Strangely enough, she preferred teaching sophomore and junior English to art. Perfection is always her goal. 'MRS STAUFFER, MISS GALLAGHER, MISS HERSHEY, and MR. SHIRLEY discuss the merits of visual education.

THE 'TOP BRASS The dream of building a bigger and better Irwin High School has become a reality dur- ing this school year i952-53. First, the joining of Irwin and North Irwin schools and second, the approval of the State Council of Education for the annexation cf the fifth ward school district has made it possible for the joint board of Irwin and North Irwin to start planning im- mediately for an addition to the present build- ing. The Board of Education and Supervising Principal Clawson have many ideas which will bring the Irwin school system up-to-date in every respect. The installation of an inter- communications system and the founding of lrwin's first kindergarten were the first steps toward this improvement. The school board, the teachers and the stu- dents cari always depend upon the able assis- tance of Mr. Dudley and Mrs. Buckley for whatever worthy proiect they attempt. The high standard that Irwin has attained and its successes of the future are secure in the hands of these loyal administrators. Qlamcs L. Dudley, our busy, kindly assistant principal, who always has time for our problems. 0Rornayne Buckley, our school secretary, whose patience is remarkable ond whose sense of humor is the best.

ODORIS MEDLEY, MARLENE ANTHONY, NANCY BENNINGER, and DORIS ROG- ERS count money for the activities accounts. AS WE WENT DOWN CURRICULUM ROAD mmwsm Miss Gallagher and Miss Hershey are cou- sins. lt is fun to listen to their lively discus- sions. Miss Gallagher's days were filled with translations, tests and themes because she taught Latin, Spanish and senior English. If one of her classes looked especially interested, Miss Gallagher was probably telling them about the customs in Mexico or playing a rec- ord of Macbeth. Her hobbies include a record collection and Minina-a black and white cat. Checking in slippery seniors in Room Zi often started Miss Hershey's day off wrong. She and all the seniors were proud of their modern looking room, An informal classroom situation is what she liked. We will all re- member her leaning on a chair rather than on notes during her senior high social science and psychology classes, That nice looking man is Mr. Shirley, the freshman adviser. Having two daughters of high school age helped him understand girls. His biology and general science courses are popular. Everyone will remember his famous 'JACK RUNT and ALFRED SVOBODA finish their table.
