A WORD ABOUT THE FACULTY K , R. LOVE, our vice-principal, works morning and night, su- 1' -f' A 1 pervising the office and aiding the various school activities. V Mrs. Latson, with a firm hand and pleasant smile, ' ' rules her commercial arithmetic, bookkeeping and English classes well. Her partner in commerce, Miss Seeley, Q teaches also typing and stenography. V Mr. Schurr mixes serious mathematics with good times. Q No matter how he tries to hide it, he has a real sense of R ' - humor. Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice: Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. This might be Miss Cox's motto, so often have these characteristics been noted by her general science and biology classes. Mr. Cain, besides his general science and mathematics classes, is noted for his fine tennis instruction. Mr. Broock's dry humor in the chemistry and physics classes has deceived many an unsuspecting student. It is he who, with Mr. Benton, the shop instructor, is always ready to help build any stage set or take charge of the stage lighting. To be strong is to be happy. This is the motto of Mrs, Fisher and Mr. Oliver in conducting their physical training classes. Under their super- vision everyone is given an equal chance to distinguish himself in athletics. Mrs. Clark keeps the secretarial matters of the school in order and is always ready to help others. Miss Seanor, our school nurse who devotes her time to the health of the community says, Nor love, nor honor, wealth, nor power can give the heart a cheerful hour when health is lost. Miss Rye and Miss Kern constitute the more artistic side of school life. the former ably directing the orchestra and glee clubs, and the latter producing artists who make drawings for the Golden Key and posters for activities. With a clever hand Mrs. Aldrich turns out fine cooks and seamstresses. She also acts as girls adviser. Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. Barker are the patient instructors of language, the former teaching Spanish and Latin, and the latter, first year Spanish. Mrs, Barker also helps the sophomores through the mazes of English, , Mrs. Eubanks has proved in her junior and senior English classes, as well as in her coaching of class plays, that red hair is not always a sign of quick temper. Miss Crawford, in her freshman English classes, has tried to impress that Learning by study must be won . Mr. Rough and Miss McElfresh constitute the history, civics and social problems teaching force. Mr. Rough acts also as athletic coach. It is through the efforts of Miss Renshaw and her journalism class, that the School News is issued each week. It is also her loyal help and support each year that makes it possible to publish the A'Golden Key . Page Eighteen

came the Indian followed by the Spaniard and the Mission Fathers. Then oil and industry, and coiincident with them, good roads, churches, libraries, parks and schools. All this is interesting and yet the most important chapter in the history of Montebello remains to be written. Events move forward at tremendous speed these days. Who dares look forward even twenty years and say what the history of Montebello will be? And yet-and right there is the whole purpose of this message-whatever that history proves to be, the boys and girls now in school are destined to be the authors and creators. For them is reserved the very climax of a hundred thousand years of progress-up from the jungle. What a responsibility! MARK R. IACOBS, Principal. A MESSAGE FROM THE SCHOOL TRUSTEES No one can reach the seats of the Mighty in these modern days unless he be one who knows: for the one who knows is ever master of them that remain in ignorance. Knowledge is power: but ignorance must forever be the fruitful origin of weakness and fear. About ignorance and fear cluster the whole brood of follies and vices, with their many crimes. This is a day for great thanksgiving and a feast in life's calendar. You boys and girls of this high school are indeed fortunateg you have the oppor- tunity of being those who know: and we congratulate you. This board of trustees wishes you success and happiness in all your future undertakings, with the grace of God. H. A. MERICKEL, School Trustee. Page Seventeen
