ROBERTA B, BLOMOUIST. Mrs. Blomguist doesn't have to have an inspiration. She takes some commas and conjunctions and tosses them about nonchalantly and lo, a snappy little skit is born and produced later by her draniatics or radio groups. DOROTHY E. BUSCH. Mrs. Busch was forced to resign during the second semester because of ill health. We will miss her as ad- visor of the charm school, and student forum, and as an able teacher of world history. VIRGINIA PICK. Yep--we've got one in captivity, a real live pipe organ player! If you don't be- lieve it, just take yours up to Miss Pick sometime and ask her to dash off a little piece for you, or if you're interested in classi- cal music on the piano, she could oblige you there, too. DONALD GOLDING. With all the doo-dads and gadgets, Mr. Gold- ing's annually new car couldn't be missed in a heavy fog. In addition to teaching, he has the unapplauded task of planning fire drills which empty the school in two minutes or less. BEULAH GORE. I-lere's a smart girl for you. Miss Gore has some- thing in the bank that brings her 100 per cent interest! P, S. It's tall, dark and handsome, girls. Her compounded interest, how- ever, is still in music and Eng- lish classes. ARTHUR GUSTAFSON. Snowy, our football coach, is very pop- ular with all the boys and all the school. He teaches history. LOUISE HANSON. Home ec. teacher Miss Hanson thinks Klamath potatoes are very beau- tiful. We'll admit they're little gems, but won't go into super- latives. She is one of those rare persons with no pet dislikes, but says she has a great many pecu- liarities. MILDRED HOLMES. When that dreamy look is in Mrs. Holmes' eye, you may be sure that she's thinking of establishing a sum- mer art colony somewhere on the Lincoln county coast. She's a teacher of commercial subjects. Eff. ,. . IV f N f Ads aww, GRACE BROWN. Miss Brown, our phys. ed. teacher, tells a story about a boat trip where sea lions and fish flew about the launch, Could she be feeding us a 'lion?' Anyway We like it. She's good at any sport, but prefers horseback riding. RAYMOND COOPEY. Mr. Coopey, biology teacher, solemnly states, Ontogeny recapitulates phylo- geny. Of course, he's the boss, so who are we to dispute his word? Besides impressing his students with profound medita- tions upon theory and fact, he can swing a mean trumpet. DWIGHT FRENCH, We couldn't dig up anything on Dutch French. He's so absent-minded that people can't seem to remem- ber things he's done. Of course everyone knows he's good na- tured and thinks he's just tops. For further data see the Pelican basketball squad. RACHEL GOOD. The longer Mrs. Good teaches, the better her classes are and the more we like her. Her students understand the Latin inscriptions on the front of buildings and backs of coins --everything but the Latin Quart- SY. ALETHA GRAY. All who dislike sauerkraut, n'ien's straw hats, and cigar smoke get in touch with Miss Gray, commercial teacher, immediately. Those are her pet hates and, if you're looking for a kindred spirit, Voila, as a Chinese philoso- pher once put it. KENNETH HAMMER. When Buck Hammer is around, you just can't help feeling good, al- though he might give you a slip for chewing gum. He teaches history and civics, and manages the paddle-wielding police, MORRIS HARVEY, Here's a man who's so busy he can't even find time for a hobby. ls it because Mr, Harvey's home work keeps him so busy? They say he was once caught out on the front porch with an apron draped about him. ALICE HOWARD. Mrs. Howard has a friendly smile and just as friendly a disposition but--don't forget to bring your excuse after an absence. She leads us over planes of geometry and acts as a sympathetic and under- standing dean of girls. 11

RUTH IEPSEN. Mrs. Living--er-- lepsen seems to be efficiency plus. She not only keeps the of- fice affairs from getting all tangled up, but also manages to keep Victor well-fed and con- tented looking. VERNON KUYKENDALL, lrate mamas and papas don't get anywhere with Mr. Kuykendall when they complain about Sonny's bad citizenship grades, because he has the goods on them. When anyone in his chem- istry classes gets a little bit too lively, he gets out his camera and takes a picture, catching them in the act. LUCILLE O'NEILL. Like Mr. Chips, Mrs. O'Neill lives tor and is loved by all the students. She's one person who can make the classes pay attention and liter- ally beg for more. As head of the English department, she glories in our graduates' University records. FRANK RAMSEY. What have the Wildcats been doing to Mr. Ramsey, history teacher and coach? He says that Klamath Falls is a rough town: however he admits that he likes it and us. Everybody likes Tiny, too. KELLEY ROBINETTE. Industrial arts teacher Mr. Robinette prides himself on the harrowing experi- ence of having had a buck al- most run over him. Naturally I missed when I shot, he says. When asked questions after a hard day's Work he feels like saying, Rats! CLIFFORD ROWE. Here's com- petition for Dutch! One night Mr. Rowe, the new English teacher, Went home to dress for a dance. When he awoke from his absent mindedness, he found himself peacefully reposing in bed. He was also caught locking his desk with his door key. THEODORE RUSSELL. Always calm and collected, that's Mr. Russell, mathematics instructor. He thinks it just doesn't pay to get all 'het' up over something. He maintains he was as cool as a polar bear when Iunior came, but he'd better get witnesses to prove it. AMY SEVERSON. My 'Art's Takin' Lessons is probably Miss Severson's favorite song for the simple reason that she teaches that subject. She is also largely responsible for that interesting show case in the hall. ALBERT SINCLAIR. He's free, white, and twenty-one, and not a woman has bagged him yet. Al Sinclair, God's gift to women, seems to be definitely allergic to the members of the fairer sex. My, my, whatta will power for a physics instructor. 12 .50 vi f X - X F5 amy., VICTOR IEPSEN. Mr. Iepsen, teacher of typing and book- keeping, seems to have solved the problem of how to be happy though married. Ever since he and Mrs. Livingston tied the knot at Thanksgiving, he's been hap- pier than a rabbit in a cabbage patch. DOROTHY O'KEEFE. jolly smiling Dorothy is the latest addition to the office. She likes going to school and not having to study. When the room phone says brrr, ten to one it's Dorothy requesting, Please send Iohn- ny to the office. HAROLD PALMER. This black haired live wire has spent the year successfully lifting the face of the Klamath Krater and man- aging the commercial depart- ment. He acts as treasurer for the student body funds, and we understand he is looking for a pot of gold. ELLA REDKEY. Miss Redkey started our girls' physical edu- cation from nothing. We were sorry to see such a grand pal move to California at mid-year. As athletics promoter, picnic or- ganizer, or just plain confidante she will always be tops with us. DONALD ROSS. Math teacher Mr. Ross Wants us to yell in as- semblies, but mum is the word in class. This teacher, Who be- lieves in having things exclusive, holds his own private detention period for those who don't learn this lesson. GERALDINE ROYCROFT. Who has the tiniest feet in school? Who has the smallest and most per- fect writing among the faculty and teaches English? Who---oh well, you've guessed it by now. Of course no one but Mrs. Roy- croft could live up to these quali- fiations. DOROTHY SCI-IUPP. If there were three white drakes in a snowstorm, what would x equal? That's just duck soup to Miss Schupp, because she hap- pens to be an algebra teacher. Besides teaching alphabet arith- metic, she also sponsors Pep Peppers and counsels undergrad- uate girls. CHESTER SHULER. Mr. Shuler, English teacher and El Rodeo advisor, had a lot of explaining to do when he got some Krater publicity concerning his dark dim past, but with the aid of an atlas he finally proved his in- HOCQHCG. WENDELL SMITH. Can you feat- ure it? Mr. Smith won't dance on account of swing, although he admits he would do a minuet if the partner were good look- ing enough. He applies his psy- chology to his English classes, and do they go for it?
