Miss McCullough guides the seniors through their last year of English, while Mr. Atkiss teaches the juniors and also has a class in American history. Both these teachers, besides their English classes, are in charge of the Lahian. Teaching English Ill and also in- structing thespians is done by Mrs. Christ. Miss Hartman bestows an education of reading, writing, and speaking upon the sophomores, while Miss Hoopes gives some of the freshmen their knowledge of English. Mr. Gershman, faculty adviser of the Garnet and Gray, has classes in English l. The science department is in the land of mystery and experiment. Amid the clouds of smoke, the peculiar smells, and the general tumult, the future doctors, chemists, and en- gineers toil. The biology department, headed by Mr. Epley, delves into the functions of living things. Assisting him are Mr. Litwhiler and Mrs. Morris. Mr. Kleckner teaches general science, and Mr. Litwhiler elucidates chemistry and physics. Teaching the newest subject on our rosters, we find Mr. Radcliffe and his health classes, with Mr. Epley assisting him. Industrial arts and mechanical drawing are taught by Mr. Tammeryn and Mr. Wentzel, who prepare pupils for careers in engineering. Those inter- ested in art come under the helpful guidance of Miss Davis. ln charge of the new distributive education department is Miss Ankeny. Its pur- pose is to correlate study in the class with the students' experience in business fields. Mrs. Stephens and Miss Stevens, through sewing and cooking, provide the girls with a knowl- edge of home making. Physical education is carried out by Mrs. Macky and Mr. Horner, who help in the development of sound health. The members of the faculty who left to join Uncle Sams forces are Lieutenant Ci. g.l Mary E. Lindenmuth of the WAVES, who was for- merly assistant principal of Lansdowne High School, Captain William I. Lowe of the United States Army, stationed at Rutgers University, former English and journalism instructor, Lieu- tenant Iames M. Wardrop of the United States Navy, who previously taught biology, chemis- try, and physics, and Lieutenant Merrill R. Stewart of the United States Navy now in Au- stralia, who taught English and history. 25
