POINTING OUT a difticult passage, Mr. Blood helps Margaret Boicourt and Sue Schwartz with the Christmas program music. When in future years, high school is only a dream-like memory, one teacher will stand out in the minds of all Monroe students. The many happy events of life at Monroe will be inter- mingled with thoughts of this cheerful person. This teacher has more than taught at Monroe for thirteen years. He has become a part of Monroe, and Monroe has become a part of him. His quick smile and quiet voice have greeted thousands of students as they have passed through Monroe's halls. His students are willing to undertake the most ambitious proiects because they know things will come out all right. Under his compe- tent direction, problems melt away and ob- sto-cles disappear. Success, however, is not a matter of chance with this man but the result of careful planning and hard work. KEEPING TIME is a familiar task for Mr. Blood who directs three different vocal groups and the band and choir at Monroe. He spends much of his time helping students plan the outside activities connected with his major interests. Students who have worked un- der this teacher's direction are deeply impressed by his calm confidence and constant idealism. Every year the alumni return to enioy his pres- entations to the school and community. This teacher works on two major proiects each year. His achievements in the past have stimu- lated him and his students to try new things and go on to grander successes. Each graduate will remember the wonderful performances of Mon- roe's music department as an important part of his high school life. In recognition of his service to Monroe and its students, we respectfully dedicate the 1961 Doctrine to Mr. Elsworth F. Blood. , ' School Life 60-69 ' Sports 70-81 ' Ads-Inclex 82-96

By moving the upper vertex of the triangle, which she has in her hand, from point to point on the board, the base angles change in size. The variation in degree measure is shown by the protractors which have their centers at the vertexes of these angles. This is only one of the many gadgets at Monroe used to demonstrate geometric and trig- onometric principles to classes. Other mock-ups include models of solid geometric figures, plane figures, and skew quadrilaterals.
