ADVISERS ON OCTOBER 9th, 1907, a baby was born. She was destined to do great things. She was to teach at jamaica High School. As you might have guessed, this L'baby was Mrs. Miriam Sutterlin, our Economics and Civics teacher. For twentyfnine years, she lived in Hollis and attended jamaica High from which she was graduated in 1923, She completed her course at Hunter College in 1927 where she received her B. A, Degree. Her next step was to enter Columbia's School of Political Science and there she received her IxIaster's Degree. For three and a half years, our sponsor taught at elementary school, and then made her debut at jamaica in February of 1931. That means, she is now entering her ninth year of teaching here. Her hobbies are purely of a domestic nature. Gardening and cooking especially appeal to her. Incidentally, she is now residing in Forest Hills West. For you rabid basketball enthusiasts, she is our great basketball coach's sister. Teaching must be in the family, for her mother also was a teacher, Whcni doesn't believe in inheritance now? Always smiling, always working, always understanding, these characf teristics have enriched her personality greatly. MRS. MIRIAM SUTTERLIN, Sponsor MISS MABEL BERNHARD, Dean of Girls MISS BERNHARD seems to be just about the busiest person in the school, Pass her office in the main hall at any time of the day and you'll always find a line waiting to see her. A ready smile and a quiet, gentle manner are always ready to greet you. Miss Bernhard came to Jamaica High School in 1919 as a history teacher. She says that history is her first love and she misses it greatly now. She graduated from Syracuse University, taught in various schools in New York and New Jersey and was dean of a boarding school before coming here. She once taught trigonometry but, she says, she had to study very hard to keep ahead of the students. Housefplanning is one of her greatest interests outside of school. She studies magazines and books on this subject in her leisure. time and some day hopes to make over the old homestead in a little town in Few York State where she was born and which is still the family ome. ALTHOUGH living in Jamaica, Miss Ruth Hamilton still considers New England her home since she was born in Groton, Connecticut. This very wellfeducated Spanish and German teacher graduated from Vassar College and received her Master's degree at Columbia Uni' versity. Also she has studied abroad at both Berlin and Madrid. During the summers she has taken language courses at Middlebury, Connecticut. Miss Hamilton has passed the examinations for the position of head of department and is awaiting an appointment. One of her main interests is that of traveling which she has done extensively. She has visited Europe several times, she has covered all points of interest from Egypt to the Arctic Ocean. Although travf eling all over Europe, she has not neglected to see the United States and Mexico. Miss Hamilton is also very fond of outdoor sports, Her particular interest is horseback riding and often she has gone on trips of this type. If you wonder at such a variety of interests, we still have one more to add. She is very fond of both the opera and the theatre. One of her sincere regrets is that she hasn't sufficient time to do all the things which she enjoys. MISS RUTH HAMILTON, Adviser seven

EDITORS RUTH SAUER ARTHUR SCHULER FOREWORD Unmistakably, in the past seven years, the Year Book has been something to which we looked for' ward to. It holds something in itfsome undefinable something which creates a feeling of unlimited joy. It is undoubtedly one of the things that, at some future date, will make one recall the sentimental activities in our High School. Many classes have already gone forth, and with them the Year Book and its treasure: 'There' fore, keep in mind as we release this book, that it has been published with the idea of serving as a mirror in our coming years-a mirror in which to look and to recall to mind all the friendships iormed at jamaica. In this, the record of our days here, we have tried to present those aspects of our High School, most typical of the tempo of our time, in the hope that many years from now this book will furnish happy rememf brances bo bind us closer to our Alma Mater. If you really enjoy this book, attribute its success chiefly to the fact that we have had Mr. Harold A. Brown for a Senior Class Adviser. It was through his relentless work and untiring efforts, aided by the members of the staff that this book achieved the respected reputation it now holds in comparison with all previous efforts. Therefore, dear graduates, as we enter a new era of life, let it be not only this book and the contents therein, the teachers and advisers, the Principal and Deans, but most of all let it be Jamaica High, which should serve as an inspiration to us-forever. 0 nine
