O. P. Brown Madge Garst Henry Shenk Elsie Kaden Byrne Fletcher Hellen Elling INDUSTRIAL RTS AN PHYSICAL EDUC TIO Band saws hum, sewing machines purr, dishes click, the printing press starts methodically to bump out copy and lndian clubs swishg once more the Industrial arts and physical education departments settle down to the day's task. Six instructors direct the activities of these groups. Down in 104 Mr. O. P. Brown, a veteran at his art, passes on the knowledge to a score of youngsters who soon learn that a thumb nail isn't to be driven. The lathe spins, saws sing. hammers pound and one sees a dozen different things take form. lts a busy place and noisy, too. Around the corner Miss Madge Garst, with a smile, is teaching agroup of girls how to be good cooks. Caloriesare computed, vitamines get the once over and balanced diets are mapped out. Besides the classroom, Miss Garst main- tains a cafeteria where the best food west of the Mississippi is served. Honest! Miss Elsie Kaden, the only one of the group to reside on the top floor, teaches girls in the art of the needle. An exhibition of work proved that Miss Kaden's students know that a stitch in time saves nine. Good work, Miss Kaderl. Mr. Byrne Fletcher needs no introduction. He is the power of the press. He evidently learned early that letters stacked together, covered with ink and pressed against a paper, provide interesting work. He it is who prints the Blue Jay, the Pow Wow and a thousand and one other things. Not only that, he teaches others to do it. Miss Hellen Elling runs from onejob to another. Spon- sor ofthe G.A. A., director of girls' physical education, referee of intramural games, director of tournaments, and a red hot tennis enthusiast, she still finds time forfaculty meetings,a show now and then and several hours of sleep. Mr. Henry Shenk, a tireless worker, coaches, referees, directs boy's physical education,appears on programs as an Indian club swinger, goes to banquets, keeps the record of activity points and does all equally well. Hats off to you, Mr. Shenk.

SCIENCE AND COMMERCIAL Mr. Patterson thinks that teaching agriculture is the best sort of work because he uses extensively this good old muclball of ours for experimentation. He entered poli- tics this year and was sponsor of the S. E. A. As moral, spiritual, and social advisor of the freshman he was a swell- igant success. Miss Bloome, new member of the faculty, trips with lilting steps across the keyboard of a portable printing machine. Incidentally, if you've ever heard of a Girl Reserve, you know Miss Bloome as a sponsor. Miss Feese, who is Grand Mistress of the Order of Microscopes, Insects, Snakes, and Birds, or sumpin', com- posed of botony and biology students has held this ex- alted office in the senior high school for several years. To make a long story, short, Miss Feese is a veteran poli- tician, having beensponsor and floor-leader of the S. E. A., the student congress, for several sessions. There was a lively bustle of excitement when a box of freight was delivered at the high school building last January for out popped the new addition to the faculty. Mr Carrol K. Ward. He teaches the students how to make a living in this cold, cold world. The new instruc- tor showed the local tennis squad a few tricks aboutthe old game that Tiiden plays. Don't be abstract when you take a science course from Professor H. R. Callahan, He requires solid facts CDon't ask him to define a moleculej. Besides being an eminent au- thority on depression, prohibition, unemployment, and science Call kindsj, his RoyalChemistry-instructor isspon- sor ot the senior Hi Y. May we present for your pleasure, another charming faculty member, Miss Irene Wol-kens-dor-fei. With swiftly moving ,fingers, she socks the keyboard ofa type- writer with tlie speed of light. With a ready smile but a flashing eye that readily detects an unwarranted chewing action by students this tiny wisp of concentrated energy rules, imperiously, sophomores and seniors alike.

FINE ARTS Senor Robert K. Heald, whose picture you can see at the right, would act as interpreter if any Spaniards came to the Junior-Senior high school, for he is the Spanish teacher and can speak that Furrin language. In addi- tion, he is debate teacher and coach, and students learn from him how to argue Cas if they didn't know how al- readyh. Caesar and his wars, Cicero and his orations, Vergil and his poetry, syntax, conjugations and declensions--- these are all everyday stuff to Miss Pauline Moles, teacher of Latin. She leads the pupils thru the amo, amas, amat of elementary Latin, besides the Gallis est omnis divisa of Caesar, and the translations ofthe third and fourth years. Sometimes she takes time off and goeswith the G.A.A.girls on a hike to the woods and far away . Miss Mary Wilson, music teacher, waves astick at her two glee clubs and gets surprisingly good music asaresult. Her two quartets are perhaps the best known of high school organizations that appear publicly. Her work as supervisor takes her to the other schools of the city. Another baton-weilder is Mr. Phillip Olsson, who di- rects the two orchestras and the band.Strange sound some- times issue from his studio in the old principal's oflice for there he teaches ambitious horn-tooters and fitldlers all about the sharps and flats, or whatever music is made up of. The most outstanding thing about Miss Evelyn Besack, as you meet her, is her Haming red hair, which does not show up in her picture, to our regret. She teaches art to the seventh and eighth graders and is sponsor of the junior G. R. Robert K. Heald Pauline Moles Mary Wilson Phillip Olsson Evelyn Besack
