Those times when you were having speed. tests and right in the middle of it a key would stick or the whole thing just wouldn't work. Remember the times you sat all during your free periods trying to catch up on your back work. And how much fun it was to type to music, even if it was sometimes a little confus- ing. ln shorthand when you would be taking dictation from a phonograph it seemed as if it would go faster and faster as you went slower and slower. Recall those weekly budgets where you had to type five letters and envelopes too to be handed in every week on Friday to Miss Stern. fAbovel Mr. George E.

Mathematics. Hall. another lormula. Mathematics Remember . . . When you were seventh and eighth graders and how you worried about those decimals and fractions only to tind algebra twice as hard. ln algebra you had those simultaneous equations that had to be graphed and the graphs were always oil just a tiny bil. Then you came to geometry. lt really wouldn'l have been so bad it it werent tor those tormal proots and construction problems. l-low you groaned when your row was sent to the board to do a problem, which was the one you didn't have done. Remember that page ol symbols in the front ot your geometry book that you had to know. Miss Douthart always called them the short- hand ot geometry. Those black-board com- passes ol Miss Doutharts were super, but only she could make them work. Then il you didn't know better you signed ip lor advanced algebra and trigonometry. lt really wasn't too dilticult and you were glad you took it.

Those big words the teacher always used to use in seventh and eighth grade elementary science. At the end of the semester you ale ways had to hand in some project. You always worked so hard on them just to hand theiti in for an X. Recall those friendly skeletions that greeted you each time you went into biology? I-low cunning those stiff cold frogs, pigs embryo, and those mammoth things they called fish worms were. How bewildered you were in physics and chemistry. l-low complicated your lab manual always looked and how your heart sank at those tests. l-low your formulas were always lopsided, Those physics machines were always so complicated when they worked so easily. You were so thrifty after you dropped, the equipment in suphuric acid by mistake or broke your fiftieth test tube. fAbovel Mr. Penny's Chemistry Class Oxperiiiients. fAbovel Mr. Harold D Elliott, Geometry, Algebra, Athletics. fLeftD Mr. R.
