Mabel Thompson Marguerite Bignall Edmond Dailey Mary Ellen Cormany SOCIAL SCIE CE Did you know that the world is round, that George Washington was the first President of these United States, that supply and demand fluctuate, and that Napoleon met his Waterloo? You do? Well, why not. The four instructors pictured on this page spend twenty hours each day pouring out not only these facts but countless others. Four score and seven years ago Cwell, not quite that longh Miss Mabel Thompson started teaching geography to junction City seventh graders. Besides, she finds time to sponsor the junior G. R. very excellently. One's educa- tion is not complete unless he has had geography from Miss Thompson. Mr. Edmond Dailey teaches eighth grade history, directs Boy Scouts, ann sponsors the junior Hi-Y. He is a lifeguard, but don't ask us what flavor. Mr. Dailey is a recent convert to the ranks of marriage. Miss Marguerite Bignall teaches economics, Constit- ution and sociology. Sponsoring successful junior-senior banquets is her extra-curricular specialty. Miss Bignall is a good skatefrjand a popular instructor. Presentingworld history is Miss Mary Ellen Cormany's pet hobby and occupation. When tougher history courses are taught she will teach them. Her hobby for recreational purposes is horse-back riding.

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

MATHEMATICS If x equals y and the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a right- handed triangle what time does the four-thirty train get into Junction Citv? Well, er, let's see. Things mathematical in the high school are left to four people, the quartet pictured on this page. Miss Geralyn Anderson, between strokes of the met- ronome, teaches seventh graders the rudiments of math- ematics. Directing junior high musical actvities occupies most of her spare time. Miss Yvonne Gagle expounds ninth grade algebra. Room 310 is a real workshop with the blackboaxds covered with x's and y's. Miss Gagle's extra-curricular work centers around the junior high Girl Reserves in cooperation with Miss Mable Thompson. Mr. Victor Clough, bachelor C???J mathematician, sets the eighth grades right on things mathematical. Mr. Clough isa scoutmaster during spare moments, likes tennis, and plays golf lefthanded. Mr. T. J. LaRue handles the higher mathematics courses, all of which are elective, teaches penmanship and spelling, directs intra-murals and is a scoutmaster on the side. He also finds time to play volleyball when that sport is in order. Geralyn Anderson Victor Clough Yvonne Gagle T. J. LaRue
