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.

Our cooking instructor wore those chic white uniforms whenever her classes made a tasty dish. 12
