llllll Hlllllll Some people say that teachers are interested in nothing but class room instruction-we dont believe it---for our teachers are interested in numerous activities in school and out. Mr. Givens has planned the school program well, but activity period on Wednesdays and Fridays finds him in the auditorium with the Glee Club. This year he has showed a renewed interest in public speaking-one of his school hobbies. Mr. Wiebel has arranged the schedule for the greatest good of the largest number. He is especially interested in curriculum building so that everyone will have an equal opportunity in preparation for his life's work. And that baby daughter of his has already been to school a few times-lonly to see her Daddy, thoughl. Miss Wray teaches math., but she works in Hi-Y, helps in church work, likes to read and helps to keep house! Teaching Home Ec. is a good size job but in addition to that Miss Slate is always ready to help plan teas, parties and help with Bed Cross work in high school. Then she finds time for sports. Miss Bell has been instrumental in adding an inspirational feature to our school days' activities this year. The first few minutes of each day, she has helped to arranged inspirational programs for the student body. Not only that but she helps with the physical education group and keeps her classes interesting. Miss Callahan trains us to become proficient typists and teaches us shorthand. She plays the piano beautifully. We love to wander into the auditorium at noon or after school and listen while she plays. Miss Garrison teaches History and she coached girls' basketball. She is interested in see- ing Mavahi have a student government organization. Miss Gillespie is very interested in her pupils-and her classes are especially interesting. She has taught First Aid this year. And she likes to read. Mr. Tom Burnette conducts the Diversified Occupation class which keeps him in contact with the business concerns in town and with the pupils. Besides that he coached football and baseball and played in the Bi-State baseball league. Then he found time for photogra- phy, his favorite hobby. Miss Felkel has taught Chemistry, Physics, and General Science. In addition to that she is 'very interested in the newly organized high school band. And she sponsored our arguing Junior Class. Miss Miller keeps the Library the most cheerful as well as the busiest and most interesting room in school. She works us to make money but we like the way she spends that money -books, more magazines, a new globe, a new reference desk, and pictures. Then she teaches French and helps in Hi-Y. Mr. Lane has worked in the shop and then extra hours in the shop to help the boys build model airplanes. He has been very helpful with stage equipment for Hi-Y conference and for commencement. Miss Boyd has taught English and with the help of the P. T. A. and a gift to the student body from the '39 Senior Class she has added approximately 2540 worth of records for the English department. This year she has helped with the annual, the senior play, and helped to plan the commencement program. Miss Ellett worked so diligently to teach us Math until she left us at Christmas time. Since then we have had Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Koontz. Because We've known them such a short time, we'll learn all and maybe tell all next year. The navy claimed Mr. McGehee and now Mrs. Shaw teaches history and economics. Dramatics and music are her hobbies. No wonder the student body stays busy--they have to try to keep up with the teachers. C67
