HazeI II. Drirvr 74W| O f I V “She is the most understanding woman in the world,” a student once said of Miss Hazel Driver, Dean of Girls. Murphy wholeheart- edly echoes this thought. When illness, difficulties with school worf{, or dilemmas at home threaten the precariously balanced equilibrium of a teen-ager s world, Miss Driver is always near to give sympathy and advice that will help set that world aright. Whether she scolds us for our misdemeanors, or pa- tiently soothes our fears, we admire her and appreciate her interest in us. Miss Driver is equally skillful in her guidance of groups of girls. During her deanship at Murphy she has organized the Welfare Fund, the Mae Fanes chapter of Future Teachers of America, and the in- valuable All Girls’ Council. Her tal s before these groups—gracious, earnest, wise, and sincere — have been the inspiration of innumerable Murphy girls. • 6 •

FA In V. Fvanizvn ccK m In room 219, amidst von fusion and tumult, a teacher sits at her desf( calmly sorting readmit slips, ice cream bills, and chemistry ex- periments. This remarkable person is Mrs. Etta V. Frantzen, senior section teacher, student council spon- sor, and chemistry teacher. It was a luc (y day for Murphy when Mrs. Frantzen joined the faculty three years ago. Her under- standing glance and sympathetic words have made her a beloved teacher of a difficult subject. Her infectious laughter brings sunshine to the daily routine. A mother to the girls, a pal to the boys, she is a delightful companion to all, whether in the chemistry laboratory or on a student council convention trip. A wonderful teacher and an even more wonderful person, Mrs. Frant- zen has completely won the affec- tion of Murphy High students. • 7 •
