FACULTY NAT G. PRESTON Physics Chemistry VIOLA A. NORTON Shorthand Typewriting ERNEST V. ERICKSON Algebra Physics JEANNETTE ANDERSON Bookkeeping Geography Many interesting and varied subjects were included in the elective classes.Among these were Miss Spencer's general math for the practical-minded, plane and solid geometry and advanced algebra for those interested in engineering. Mr. Erickson was the algebra instructor who watched x's and y's instead of p's and q's. Miss Norton's typing classes were always filled, and her shorthand classes appealed to the girls. Bookkeeping and geography taught by Miss Anderson were attended by seniors and sophomores, respectively. Latin and Deutsch were the two foreign language classes in which Miss Damon was interpreter-in-chief. Each pupil had a choice of taking either physics or chemistry. Moving into the new laboratory was the event of the year for students of these courses and for Mr. Preston and Mr. Erickson. HELEN E. SPENCER Mathematics Orchestra PATRICIA DAMON Latin German JOHN C.

T. R. HOLYOKE Assistant Principal Manual Arts Mr. Evans' pride and glory was the new school, completed this year. Whenever possible he took visitors and salesmen through the building; and invariably when he showed them his new office, he Invited them to try his new soft, blue leather chairs. With the opening of the new school, Mr. TIolypke finally received his own office--and his own desk,the one and only he has had in his twenty-one years of teaching. Always hurrying from place to place, always busy but never too busy to help anyone that asked for information, always cheerful and jolly—that was Erma, the office girl.
