THE MANLIUS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 1 1 Faculty History VE STUDENTS of M. H. S. pride ourselves upon having the best school, the best students, the best athletes, and feel that all other schools in the County fear us when it comes to competition. But we also pride ourselves upon having the best faculty in the State. Each member of the faculty works with the others for our good. Although we do think them hard-hearted when they impose on our good natures by assigning us fourteen pages for one lesson, with all their faults we love them still. Mr. Lewis Ebeneezer Perry was born July 24, 1899 in a little village called Wellsville, in New York. He attended grade school at Indiana, Pa., and Bethany, W. Va. If consulted, he might say of himself, 1 can little note nor long remember WHO 1 did there”, but his teachers can probably tell you what he did there. When grades were finished, he attended Bethany academy, from which he graduated in 1916. Finding that his boyhood days were flitting he immediately started to attend Bethany College, finishing from that institution in 1920 with an A. B. degree. For three years after graduating from Bethany he attended school at Columbia University during the summer months. His first experience as a teacher came when he was called to St. Clairsville, Ohio, for three months in 1920. From there he came to Manlius as an instructor in Science and Athletics. In the fall of 1922 he became principal at M. H. S. and has served in that capacity for the past three years with a marked degree of success. Miss Sue Williams, our instructor in English and Latin, was born in An-sted, West Virginia in 189? She was graduated from the Western Illinois State Normal and Northwestern University School of Speech. For some time she studied at the University of Chicago. As a teacher Miss Williams is a great success. She has taught for the past nine years, serving in the Macomb Junior High School two years, in the St. Charles School for Boys two years, at the Roodhouse High School for two years, filling the position of both teacher and Principal during one year, and was finally called to the Long Point Community High School where she served two years as teacher and one year as Principal of the school. We may say of her: She was like the dew of the morning Sweet and gentle and good. Fresh as the air that encircles Always in kindliest mood. Miss Frances C. Fields comes to us as an instructor in Bookkeeping, Senior English, Civics and Domestic Art. She was born February 12, 19-? at Goodland, Indiana. She was graduated from the public High School and entered the Indiana State University where she graduated in 1922 with an A. B. degree. While a student in the Indiana University she was a member of the Delta Zeta Sorority and History Club and was Pan Hellenic Representative
