FACULTY Reading: from left to rigrht we find Mildred Scott of the physical education department waiting to put a word in the conversation between John Hayes, who helps boys draw ' plans for buildings, and Neola Johnson, who in¬ structs in free hand drawing. Clarence Hendrickson’s pleasant smile migrht come as a result of very successful band concerts. Glenn Shelley and Florence Greve, English, may get that an¬ nual to the printer if Iris Roes- ingrer stands by and furnishes the proper nourishment; perhaps it is “food for thought”’ they need. The principal’s office, where teachers sign “in” or “out” is a busy place. Here we find Lamon Coons from the physics “lab”, Katherine Tuck who moulds pri¬ vate secretaries, Gordon Reed from the electric shop, and Lau¬ rence Rahbar who coaches state champion bookkeeping teams. The faculty lodestone, the bul¬ letin board, draws Russell Ad¬ ams, Jennie Elkinton, and Edwin Carmony away from the general shop, sewing room and “math” class. In a friendly conference on the stairs, Allegra Nesbit from the social studies department “holds up” her confrere Violett Street. Robert Shelley stands by ready to give any chemical formulae which may be helpful. In the lower left hand comer we find Elizabeth Corey-Hunter whose task is correcting speech difficulties, Maragaret Neeld- Coons who is an unfailing source of library material for “term topics”, and Agnes McLean from the Latin classes. The auditorium insists on the artistic background. “Sally” Harbaugh and “Bee Sandies pro¬ mote artistic speech, Helen Eg- grer and Marie Volz put the finish on everything musical, and all are under the capable direction of Mattie Hannsz.

Next is Dorothie Clayton, the throat inspector and guard¬ ian of the health of our school community. Two bright spots in the upper right hand comer are Paul Carlson, whose special field is mathematics and annual sales, and Waldon McBride, delver into ancient history. discover Nelle Ensweiler reading to Georgia Harding of the domes¬ tic arts department and Lo’a Lemon, biological laboratory tech¬ nician and specialist in “corri¬ dors”. Willard Tormohlen of the social studies group listens at¬ tentively to Pearl Helmerick’s ex¬ planation of something on the bulletin board which may be a little out of line with costume de¬ sign. Rose Richardson stands by amused because she sees life in geometric form. “Greek meets Greek” when Herold Hercd leaves his noisy woodshcp to meet his neighbor and competitor Sam Bobele from the band room. W r hy hesitate Isa¬ bella Brown? Certainly Evelyn Parnell, the chairman of senior class sponsors and director of freshman English activities, takes precedence over girV gym and boys dancing c ' asses. Page sixteen
