 MANJUAN familiar with the gospel that last Christmas he gave heed to the scriptural injunction by returning home to be married- While in school he was prominent in football, basketball and baseball. Last fall he coached our team with great success. The coming baseball season awaits his efforts. No one in the community or school has taken so much interest in the football and basketball as Mr. Ferry. We all find him convincing in personality and a sound, good fellow. Besides being our coach Mr. Perry is our Pilot of French. Science and Commercial Classes. If you want his record as a teacher, just ask what the students of Manlius and St. Clairsville think of him. MISS JULIA WEGENER We are proud to say that Miss Wegener is one of our teachers. She is our English and Latin teacher. She was born in Gunnison, Colorado, but later went East to Augusta, where she finished the grammar school and graduated from high school. She taught awhile in a grammar school at Bondesferry, Ohio, when she made up her mind to go to school again. The next year the University of Chicago had Miss Wegener's name on its enrollment list. While in Chicago Miss Wegener had a great many experiences in working and associating with the girls of the Charity Institution. Literature and English were her favorite subjects. She specialized in these. In the years previous to coming to Manlius Miss Wegener taught in Ogden, Utah, and New Richmond, Ohio. Everywhere she went Miss Wegener took a prominent part in the different activities of the community, which makes her an interesting talker. We owe much to Miss Wegener, first, for the live interest she has taken in our work and pleasure; second, for the encouragement she has given us which has helped us in our school work. We wish very much to see her back in Manlius next fall. MISS BEATRICE PERRY Miss Perry came last fall to teach in our High School. She comes from Bethany, West Virginia, where she attended college and in the spring of 1020 received her degree in Domestic Science. Miss Perry teaches Domestic Science. Modern and Ancient History, English I, coaches the girls basket-ball and has charge of the girls physical training class. A better teacher or a nicer and a more sincere girl cannot be found. She takes very much interest in the school, pupils and in the surrounding community. This is Miss Perry’s first experience at teaching and we all hope she enjoys it. for we want her with us next year. She is a faithful friend of all the students and is willing to do her part by them. In this simple and inadiquate way we wish to express our love and honor for her. PAGE ELEVEN

 MANJUAN g!?S(®E3S3i!2Je: »a FACULTY PROFESSOR HARRY DAN HOLDEN His degree does not signify A Bachelor, for he is married, a strange habit that some of our teachers seem to have. He first saw the light of day in the month of May, 1806, in Bethesda, Ohio, where he obtained his preliminary and high school education. Following this he attended Ohio University at Athens and specialized in Mathinatics. From there he was called to the principalship at St. Clairsville where we hear he met with splendid success. He came to Manlius the first of March, 1920, and we were rejoiced to have him with us again last fall. Besides filling the principalship Mr. Holden teaches Mathematics, American History and Bookkeeping. He has taken a great interest in the welfare of our school in many ways. He suggested that we give a Minstrel Show, and with the help of Mrs. Holden carried it out with great success. Last spring he coached the Senior Class play which was given and favorably received by both Manlius and New Bedford. The influence and inspiration of Mr. Holden’s personality is, however, far greater and more vital. He is a man of high ideals, convincing in precept and an example. His success with his work, with his ability and genial good fellowship, have made for him an enviable position in the honored ranks of his profession. We, as a school, are very glad to have him with us, and call him our professor and principal. PROFESSOR LEWIS EBENEZER PERRY Mr. Perry came to Manlius last fall to teach in our school. He was bom July 24. 189?, at Wellsville, New York. At the age of five he moved with his parents to Bethany, West Virginia, where his father has since been head of the Latin Department of Bethany College. His boyhood was spent in the vicinity of Bethany among the beautiful West Virginian hills. He attended the elementary and high schools at Bethany and was attending the college of that place when he was called to arms. After the war he went back to Bethany College where he graduated last spring. The last few months of school, along with his college work, he filled the vacancy made by Mr. Holden at St. Clairsville, Ohio, when he eame to Manlius last spring. As a bible class teacher he became so
