--- -I FACULTY AND DEPARTMENTS The graduates of the Commercial De- partment have no trouble in filling clerical positions, nd in state and dis- rict contests it al- ways has high rat- ing as the frame of awards in the upper corridor shows. Miss Maru Smith, the head of the depart- ment could not com- plete the term this year, and Mrs. Er- baugh, a former Junior High com- mercial teacher, cap- ably filled the po- sition. T h e b 0 y s w h o Work in the Manual Arts Dep a r t m e n t make blue p r i n t s, learn the principals o f mechanics, a n d master the f u n d a - mental tool process- es. Some print the Magpie and all pap- ers of office com- munication, others repair and make the school furnishings. Many shop boys take training in auto mechanics. i 5 'What would the high school do with- out Miss Shultz ? She is the genius cf library service. She knows all the books required and other- wise-and buys them for the prover- bial song. More- over, no matter how vague and incoher- ent one may be in his request for a book, Miss Shultz knows the volume, chapter, page, and line desired. The three instructors of the Mathematics Department teach Advanced Algebra, College Algebra, Trigonometry, Plane und Solid Geometry, and Business Arithmetic. These are the so called disciplinary studies, the immediate benefit of which is the train- ing in thinking straight and accurately. The three laboratories of the Science Department arouse the interest of the stu- dent. Physics and chemistry appeal mostly to boys, by giving practical work that most boys like. Burbank, necessarily as a shade now, would praise, no doubt, the work of the botany department. 4. I

FACULTY AND DEPARTMENTS English is the most essential sub- ject in the curricu- lum in that it is the key that unlocks all other knowledge. The efforts of the English teachers are to the end that the students write and speak correct Eng- lish, readily inter- pret the printed page, and appre- ciate the best Eng- lish and American literature. The girls who are enrolled in House- hold Arts learn the essentials of home making. In the sew- ing classes they make their own clothes. In the cafe- teria classes' they learn cooking, and each noon serve luncheons to a long line of hunger marchers. All boys may not take part in athletic gamesg yet all may have the instruction of Mr. Wells and Mr. Trobaugh. Miss Avery's Home Nurs- ing classes are al- ways large. She says, Ninety per- cent of illness is cared for in the home, therefore. every girl should understand the care of the sick? l The foreign languages taught are French and Latin. Miss Johnston has the be- gining Latin classes, and her method of teaching by visual education makes the subject fascinating to the pupils. Miss Manders has the advanced Latin. Miss Rabb has the French classes. The Social Science Department is very strong. The purpose of all social studies is not only the acquiring of a knowledge of facts concerning governmental growth and economic principals, but thc promotion of true citizenship. From ancient Greece to the world of today, all educators realize the value of music and art in education. Mr. Gould's work in band and orchestra this year has reached a high peak. Miss Sines' Glee Clubs have won public praise. Even if a stu- dent has no skill as an artist, Miss Jensen makes his blinded eyes see beauty.

ff Wg. 7 z' fx Seniors O SENIOR OFFICERS The senior officers are the nonpareil members of the senior class, and as such they are elected to their respective offices. The president, Bob Etnire, both socially and scholastically, well represents the class. One of his duties as presi- dent is to see that the Tattler is financed. Bob is the possessor of a stentorian voice which he used to good advantage in the All-Club program. Lester Campbell is the possessor of a quantity of superfluous energy which has found vent in athletics-especially football. He is always willing and ready to serve, perhaps that is why he was elected vice-president of the class. Maurine Zollman, secretary of the class, is an outstanding honor student. She has won many prizes in Latin, at home and within the district. She is a musi- cal virtuoso, a pupil of Mr. H. McGibeny of Indianapolis. In spite of illness, which withheld Maurine from attending school the latter part of this semester, she has graduated an A student. Howard Hall is the treasurer of the class. He is rigidly honest and exact where money is concerned. He has cooperated with the business manager of the Tattler in financing the annual. In spite of depression he has handled money enough to pay all the indebtedness of the senior class. SENIOR DEANS Mr. Brown is chairman of the senior leans. This group serves the class in many ways, principally in seeing that all its committees properly function. These deans' most important duties concern the business attending the renting of the Caps and gowns and the selling of the graduation announcements. All Mr. Brown's work is marked by calm precision. It always shows the one-thing-I-do concentration. Miss Mary Shultz's work along any line is marked by practical judgement and a crowning touch of beauty. Miss S:hwalm's assistance is always given with a kindly interest for others. Mr. Hume is always ready with cooperation. Students like to ask him for assistance.
