Zim CHARLES STANFIELD. Unable to curb his temper, Mr. Stanfield, music director of K. U. H. S., will shock his classes by shouting, Oh, horses! Then all will be tranquil until the next time. We can see that the music depart- ment is stepping out with Chuck at the helm. CHARLES TILTON. Working on the curiosity-killed-a-cat hypothe- sis, our math and mechanical drawing teacher, Mr. Tilton has found out how to get rich in one easy lesson. He has a pig bank on his desk and every time some- one picks it up, he has to con- tribute a penny to the cause. BLANCHE WATERS. lf you've seen any gray hairs on Mrs. Waters' head lately, blame it on her third period French class. lt's composed entirely of girls, and you know how girls will iabber. The only thing that pre- vents it from becoming a social hour is that refreshments are not served and one really has to have her lesson down pat, or else! ALENE WILLIAMSON. Luther Bur- bank and Mr. Williamson have something-on us. Mrs. William- son, home economics instructor, insists that she made radishes out of raw potatoes when she was teaching in eastern Mon- tana. Of course, we're no auth- orities, but -------- LAWRENCE EDWARDS. The friendly, rather short fellow who drives the bus to Pelican City used to do landscaping. Now he takes great pride in getting the old bus over all the bumps and through all the snowstorms. GLENN GULLEY. Was Mr. Gulley embarrassed one bright morning to find out that his clock was an hour slow and a bus load of stu- dents were almost in for a holi- day? He's expert at redecorating and doctoring machines 'innards.' MABEL LINDSEY. Mrs. William- son's right hand lady in the cafe- teria likes to compose music. Per- haps this is why the students soup is so tuneful. At any rate she's a companiable person who dislikes quarreling. PEARLEY E. STILES. Ever since the fall of l928, Mr. Stiles has been driving the same bus and has never missed a day behind the wheel or at school. This summer he's going to North Caro- lina so he can polish up on his southern accent. BILL MARTINEZ. Bill, our chief custodian, with his gruff attitude and his disarming grin, is an ever present help to those in trouble and a terror to the un- righteous. The gym, the turfed field, and the power plant are l3ill's pride and joy, See page lO0. -. SY .334 MMG HAROLD TEALE. Deusenburg or Willys--it doesn't make any dif- ference to Mr. Teale, auto me- chanics teacher. He can take 'em apart and put 'em together with his eyes closed. He can show his pupils how to do the trick, too. EVERETT VANDERPOOL. lf you're in doubt about what makes a depression or why New York is such a large city, just ask Mr. Vanderpool. He knows all the answers--he has to, because he is a social-economics teacher. In his spare time he is advisor to the Klamath Knights and Hi-Y. VIRGINIA WEST. Go West, young man, especially if you're having difficulty with your Span- ish, or have an urge to try out for the senior play. From scholar- ships to class pins Miss West wants the best for her seniors. STANLEY WOODRUFF. Besides being dean of boys and teacher of general science, Mr. Wood- ruff also assigns detention to bad boys and girls. He's especi- ally against mastication of Wrig- ley products tgum chewing to youj, and is so prejudiced that he won't even use gum erasers. HARLEY EVANS. lf you have a desire for an inlaid card table, dog house, or anything you might mention, see Mr. Evans, one of our janitors. At all spare mo- ments he buries himself in his modern woodworking shop. HILBERT B. LARGENT. The new school gym and his job over there please Mr. Largent as much as the boxing he's done week- ends for the last eleven years. ln the summertime he relaxes on his farm and watches all the young plants grow. CARL STILES. Carl says there isn't much to say about him ex- cept that he fishes, hunts, likes Andy Hardy pictures, and logs in the summer. He's the fellow who drives the bus with the shoved-in front and seems to sweep all the stairs. EDITH YANCEY. Mrs. Yancey is a 'Western movie fan by decree of her youngest son and not by choice. She's been a native of Klamath for 22 years. The reason the girls' rest rooms have been so spotless this year is because of her Work. 13

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?

.Dm is fig X Y 'I ,X if! 6 Slozcfefvigdfqp ' luufiaqe As your president and friend l have tried to fulfill my office and satisfy your wishes. When l knew your wishes, I could, through your student council, do as you wished, when you didn't make your wishes known, l had to do as l saw best and in some cases this failed to gain your approval. lt all reverts to an ancient adage, You can please part of the people part of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. Observing the three remaining classes, it seems to me that for the next three years we're really going to have an active school. With our school grow- ing in size as rapidly as it is, active classes of all ranks are a decided benefit. They keep life in the school producing, as a result better understanding and co- operation between students and teachers, all of which aid in making our high school lite happier and easier. As my last statement to you in my capacity as your president and fellow student, let me say thank you for your cooperation and loyal support in any and all undertakings We have attempted.
