Mr Stewart TEACH AT HS We'll never finish all this English homework, and we have a physics and history test tomorrow! Busy seniors gave such painful groans at the end of almost every school day at MHS. This year more work was expected of us seniors than ever before. As the end of the year drew near, however, we began thank- ing our teachers because they were constantly setting new challenges before us and helping our develop- ment, not only in the classroom, but in our everyday living as well. And as we came to value their guidance and friendship, we found that these teachers are actually very interesting people to know. After see- ing Mr. Anderson's amusing grin, we weren't too amazed to learn that he had been chosen Mr. MHS of 1930! Nor were we surprised to learn that Mr. Strother, an excellent artist in his own right, has created an array of striking pictures. One modern ab- stract canvass of his won first place in the 1958 Cobb County Art Festival. Many of our teachers are active participants in worthy community activities. Mr. Glenn is an energetic member of the First Methodist Church's official board and of the Marietta Lions Club. In his spare time he likes to study about the Civil War and write short stories. Several faculty members teach night school and summer school, others spend their well-deserved vacations gaining more knowledge, learning new teaching methods and becoming better equipped to effectively teach each new class of students. Last sum- mer Mr. Stewart completed several summers' study at Emory and received his masters in education with a major in science. Most of the teachers have special hobbies and acti- vities which they particularly enjoy. Mr. McKeown, a Peabody graduate, enjoys boating and water skiing in his free moments. Mrs. E. A. Wolfe, a graduate of the University of Georgia, relaxes by playing bridge and dancing. Mrs. Askew, who last summer made a European tour, has recently acquired an interest in hunting. These leaders influence every student they teach. '98 prepares a film for his physics classes. 0 fs. Q 4
