our teachers say Today, with daily headlines screaming about juvenile delinquency, teachers are under great pressure to turn out students who will not resort to anti-social activity. Our faculty helps teen- agers both scholastically and culturally to find a place in the community which is respected and responsible. To understand our changing foreign policy, a knowledge of American and world history is needed. A basic foundation is given in junior high by Miss Janet V'art, Airs. Nancy-Jeanne Everest, and Miss Grace Straley, while Mr. Edwin Snyder and Mr. Don McCafferty and Mr. Lawrence Richards tackle this important job in the high school. To understand foreign peoples, it is necessary to converse with them. Miss Mildred Iloopes taught the French language and customs until her untimely death. Her task was capably fin- ished by Mrs. Kathryn Cunningham. The Spanish language was the domain of Miss Sarah Adams, and a basic foundation for all languages was taught in Latin class by Aliss Alargaret Cook. file saying, You can tell an intelligent person by his English, is certainly an important factor in the gradual development of the student’s knowledge. Not only grammar rules are learned but also the great literature of America and the world through drama, novels, and poetry is taught by Miss Margaret .McCullough, Mrs. Virginia Christ, Miss .Martha Hartman, and Mr. Douglas Duncan. That the person of today must be able to express himself clearly' is the job of Mr. Louis Gershman, Air. Horace Laubach, Airs. Grace Long, and Mrs. Genevieve Farnath in the lower high school grades. Understanding how to collect reference material for the many papers and projects is supervised by our librarian Miss Charlotte Shacffcr. Mr. Paul AlcClure and Mrs. Ardis Dow teach the basic principles of chemistry and physics. The wide held of biology, zoology, and botany is enlightened by Mr. George Eplev and Mrs. Alildred Tamburro. In junior high, future scien- tists are trained by Mr. John Rank. Today, mathematics and science go hand in hand together. To insure a good mathematical background, Mr. Charles Forbes, Mrs. Pauline Edwards, and Air. Alartin I lublev explore the basic principles, while Mrs. Esther Alorris and Mr. Howard Freeman analyze the complexities of higher mathematics. The world of business is ever-expanding, as pointed out by Mrs. Janet Felter, Aliss Mildred Ankeny, Air. Roy Kraber, and Mr. Edward Kolodgie. On the cultural side, Airs. Elizabeth Barkis, taking over for the injured Aliss Katheren Davis, drills her students in the fundamentals of cre- ative art. Musically, Mr. Don Corbin anil Mr. Joseph Rizzo inject our youths with an appreci- ation ol line music. For the young ladies who will soon be running George J.
