The auburn-haired advisor of seniors and teacher of U. S. history for juniors, Miss Jones, always had a friendly word and smile for everyone. Guarding the students’ health was blonde, demure Miss Klein’s job. Here Bob Holland was all ears for the audiometer. A tap of the baton for attention and a lift of both arms characterized Miss Nommensen at a typical chorus or glee club rehearsal. She sported many tailored, simple suits; and she was often seen plodding through the snow drifts in her heavy, gray snow boots. “Let’s take this letter” and “This budget is due Friday” were familiar phrases heard in Miss Norton’s commercial department. Perfect order was the rule of the day. Dressed in his familiar laboratory coat was the jolly, left-handed chemistry and physics professor, Mr. Preston, who never failed to entertain his classes with humorous experiences. 11

“Master of three languages” — English, German, and Latin — was a suitable title describing the language teacher and the senior class play director, Miss Damon. Our physics and algebra teacher, Mr. Erickson, loved to tinker with wheels and magnets as well as with unknown algebraic quantities. Well-known for her English assignments and her abundance of fashionable clothes was wee, darkhaired Miss Farnsworth. Forensics work and world history went hand in hand during Miss Flet-ty’s school hours. Often seen driving her maroon Chevrolet was this instructor who had a quiet, unruffled disposition. With her help the members of the junior class sponsored the annual promenade. Seated in his new office was athletically - built Coach Don Huddleston, who proudly led his team to victory at the regional basketball tourney, and whose gym classes often puffed after the words “take six laps around the gym floor to warm up.” 10

Many an envious glance was cast toward Miss Schumacher, girls’ gym teacher, who was constantly appearing in another new costume made by herself. Bringing a ray of sunshine to the library was the librarian, the tall, dark-haired, and ever smiling Miss Ryan. A new teacher this year was youthful Miss Senty. She. gave her sewing students make-up suggestions as well as instructions pertaining to dressmaking. A well-blended mixture of music and mathematics made up the daily school life of Miss Spencer. Her clear presentation of Euclidian geometry made even the Pythagorean theorem seem simple. Soup — chile — sauce? What was it, Miss Stein-ke? Our cooking instructor wore those chic white uniforms whenever her classes made a tasty dish. 12
