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

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.

WINCHELLOWDOWNING THE FACULTY Peep! peep! say the little chickens in high falsetto-- peep! peep! answer the big bus horns in resonant bass and the merry old Pow Wow snoopervisor goes a peeping thru the faculty. This staid group of human beings are really human after all, so the nosing correspondent has little difficulty in digging up the dirt. Here's a shovel, proceed. Mr. Victor Clough was secretly married to a Pittsburg girl during the Christmas holidays. The gala event took place at Oskaioosa, Kansas, or thereabouts. Someone has asked, Why don't teachers have freckles? That question is easily answered. Journey down to the art department supply room, take out your magnifying glass, wipe it care- fully with your handkerchief, and look around. If the light isnit poor, you'll probably fined twelve Cno more, no lessl empty Othine Cfreckle removerj jars. Miss. Evelyn Besack, the art instructor, is a Titiang that may be a clue concerning the bottles. Miss. Ethel Hinds, who avoids that future shadow, is engaged, so she says. to a Missouri man. He's slightly over six feet in height, according to reports, and weighs about 140 pounds. No wonder she's reducing. One of our pretty commercial teachers has been escorted to the theatre by one of her students, a popular senior boy. Did you know that Mr. Dailey married one of his students? She was notan eighth grader, but one of his lifesaving pupils. One morning, very early, a senior noticed a lady's white glove on the running board of Mr. Ray Heady's Ford roadster. A thorough investigation proved nothing. Please explain, Mr. Heady. Mr. Robert McPherson, the sponsor of this year book, is engaged to a Kansas City girl, and is probably making payments on a diamond ring or did he pay cash. The caretaker and entertainer of the study hall, Miss Marion Kirkpatrick, was the victim of an embarrassing moment when she came to this city. She mistook Mr. Dailey for a student, and gave him a bawling out for some rowdyism in his actions. Principal Jerry J. Vineyard is said to have gone to a conference and heard the word 'incidently used by a speaker there. He immediately adopted it for his own use. Calling students Miss and Mr. was introduced this year by Mr. Carrol K. Ward, new commercial instructor. It was a novel experience for some of the students. Maybe it is because his mail is addressed both to Mr. and Miss Carrol Ward. Down in the boys' gym Coach Henry Shenk often shows off his talent for public speak- ing by talking to his classes for the whole period. The boys appear to be spellbound, but thats just the way they look. We have an absent-minded proffesor in our midst-Mr. H. R. Callahan, who often un- knowingly pulls a fast one while in the act of concentrating on chemistry. Mr. T. J. LaRue is known as the fisherman of the faculty. He can tell plenty of good stories about the big ones that got away. He is also a riileman, being a crack shot with a .22. Miss Marguerite Bignall is trying to avoid that future shadow, as are several other faculty members. She likes swimming for that purpose. This ends the ramblings of the snoopervisor. He couldn't find anythiny else worth men- tioning about the faculty.
