unctioning smoothly MISS MYRNA CHAMBERS One of the most respected persons in Lincoln High School is Miss Myrna Chambers. Through her work she is personally acquainted with almost every student in Lincoln High. She teaches Algebra I, a preparatory course for higher mathematics. Her students gain a substantial knowledge in all phases of algebra. Miss Chambers is a himiliar face in the ollice. With her wide knowledge of matters pertaining to the school. she is well qualified to handle the various office duties and to account for the absentees each day. ln her spare time she has a yen for cooking. Some lucky students and hiculty each year are fortunate enough to taste her wonderful fudge. MYRNA CHAMBERS WB. S., Geneva Collegeg algebra: assistant principal. MR. RALPH SHAFFER Mr. Shaffer, one of the most active of our facultv members, assumes the duties of an assistant principal and of .1 teacher. His tasks as assistant principal are legion since he must act as principal when Mr. Shepley is absent, must arrange student schedules, and must hear the cases of many lost students and books. He is also custodian of all school supplies. Mr. Shaffer's voice is very himiliar to us through special public Miss Myrna Chambers Mr. Ralph Shaffer MR ons Sinvtii 'vias P-iriucis. Ziiiiia address announcements. His hobbies are collecting various pens, pencils, notebooks and pocket knives. RALPH SHAFFER WB. S., Ohio Northern Universityg M. Litt., University of Pittsburghg sociology, Amerif can historyg assistant principal. Historical records are sometimes dry and doll. Some tinies they fail to reflect the life and sparkle of the events of yesterday. Sometimes they neglect the human element which made the events worth recording. This is especially true when the interpreter of history is concerned with deeds rather than with people. But the ELLWOODIAN is not that kind of a record. Woodie and his staff have been interested in peopleg people who are alive and full of action. Woodie's photographers and writers have caught their subjects in poses and situations which reveal the rim and vitality of life in Lincoln High. As the years turn, it is reasonable to expect that these pages will be returned and that ..WCJCIdl6.Sll history will be relired in the dreams and memories of his friends. jonx A. SHEPLEY 9

In junior high school the underclassmen receive intensive tutoring in spelling and grammatical construct tion. These topics prepare them for future study of literature, speech, and composition. In seventh and eighth grade spelling classes, the pupils become acquainted with the rigors of syllabication. definition, and pronunciation as well as correct spelling. In addition to work in English grammar, ninth graders are introduced to their first study of great writers. Williiiiii Shakespeares As You Like It and Robert Louis Stevensons Treasure Island rarely fail to provide an incentive for further reading.
