RECOLLECTIONS TEACHERS What won't they think of next? Now students can sit back and relax while Shakespeareis plays come forth on the Victrola! Miss Gehring and Wookie Sinclair hold an album of Macbeth records to show the pictures to an absorbed class before playing the recordings. Fascinated students watch with anticipation to see just what the out- come is going to be of the formula Mr. Bailey is ucookin' up in the Chemistry Laboratory. Mr. Edwards looks skeptical about the whole thing. Mathematicians Brinton and Porter try to figure out some Way to explain this theorem to their classes. The solution is really as easy as can be. Why, all you have to do is-. Mr. Keding, Lamar's dynamic music director, beats out on the key- board while Mary jo Little, Nina Urqubart, and Patsy Moellering form the admiring audience. He must really be solid from the gleam in Fred Bunde's eye. Miss MacMaster and Martha Hudson display one of the flags to be used on the Pan American Day Pageant to Misses Wilson, Morris, and Pleasants, the usenoritasi' of the school. When those four get together and start rattling out Spanish, it's as cosmopolitan as Mexico City.
