i SCIENTIFIC INSTRUCTORS (Top) Mr. William Vaughn, Mr. Lorenzo Lisonbee, Mr. A. B. Clark, Mr. Frank Gilleland, Mr. Isaac Nichols, Miss Frances Mont- gomery, and Mr. C. A. Brown.

Putting on a record for square dancing (Lower) are members of the girls ' physical education staff, Mrs. Mary Hamilton. Mrs. Dorothy Delvin, Miss Regno Breneman, Miss Catherine Wilk ' n?on, and Mrs. Bettse Phelps. Fit To Be Tried Some students think science teachers are a pretty sorry lot. They should stop and con- sider. These teachers are bound to have something besides sawdust in their craniums if they even try to teach us all this complicated stuff about bugs ' n ' chemicals. And to those who have to be drawn a picture, look at Mr. William Vaughn. For the past few years or so — excluding the war — he has been a lowly underpaid, misunderstood biology teacher; now he has been appointed Dean of Boys at the new West High. Keeping a bunch of rambunctious ' Hosses in one piece, mentally and physically — is a pretty big job for one teacher — or shall we say supervisor? Miss Potthoff has managed to keep up this job nobly for the past few years. This year an assistant has been added, Miss Caroline Lane. North High boasts three of the best girls ' P. E. teachers in these here hills. They know their jobs and have quite some fun getting it done. Mrs. Dorothy Delvin has come to be an indispensable person in the equipment room. Also Mrs. Mary Hamilton is regarded with awe for her patience. Day after day she coaxes music from the battered up-right in the gym so the dancing classes won ' t have to dance to the tune of their own grunts and groans. (23)

Essential For Success Attention! Left face! Goodness, which way is left? By the time an ordinary soul has solved this weighty problem the entire military company has disappeared from view. After working together for a very few months it ' s a source of amazement that the boys and girls of the Military Department become such a smoothly running group. With Lt. Colonel Shoe- maker at the helm, an efficient, well trained, R.O.T.C. is a sure thing. Where are all the dry tomes that ore sup- posed to be part of every library? We hate to disappoint anyone but you won ' t find them in our school library. Mr. Bartels and Miss Yotter, librarians, have made the selection of books with extreme care. They are of infinite variety and purpose. You may not be a Caruso or Lily Pons, but you can still enjoy being a member of the Glee Club. The same goes for the Band and Orchestra. It ' s a satisfying feeling to know you are an important clog in the wheel. The pro- grams and assemblies these groups have put on are too numerous to tell about here, but just ask any student in North High. The beaming smile that will answer you will tell better than words how much we appreciate the musical division in our school. Mrs. Shelley, Mr. Coulter, and Mr. Fitzgerald, here ' s our vote of thanks for the reasons you have given us to be proud of our music department. RELAXING FOR A MINUTE in the reading alcove are (Top) Mr. William Barlels and Miss Clare Yotter. Military de- partment leaders (Top Center) Capt. William Toy. Lt. Col. Paul Shoemaker, and 1st Lt. Stonley R. Matthews. Discuss- ing music appreciation (Lower Left) are Mrs. Ardith Shelley, Mr. Lynn W. Fitzgerald, and Mr. Charles Coulter. Part of the library staff (Lower Right) are Lillie Ann Schauer, office trainer, Janice Crafts, assistant secretary of the library, and Mrs. Mildred Hill, secretary to the librarians.

Here Your Fortune Lies What chance has Hollywood when it has North High to contend with? That may be a debatable question, but we v on ' t stop to grapple with it now. Hollywood ' s gotta admit we turn out some of the best plays and some of the best speeches and orators North High has ever known! Clickety clack! Clickety clack! Clickety clack! How in blazes can a person study with those infernal typewriters a ' goin ' all the time? Until they invent silencers for the dern things, guess we ' ll just have to put up with it. For the size of the room that Mr. Fred Draper occupies, you ' d think he did nothing but grade papers all day or some such sordid task as that. Actually he supervises one of the most interesting activities in the school — the audio-visual aids. CULTURE AND COMMERCE — Upper Left: Looking over a new Dramatics magazine is speech teacher Mr. Kenneth Pauli and drama teacher Miss Lucille Hicks. Upper Right: Minding their own business are business education teachers Miss Ruth White, Miss Elsie Denver, Mr. Edward Palmer. Lower Left: Miss Chloe Fields, Miss Beulah Twist, and Mr. C. O. Stephens. Lower Right: Mr. Fred Draper of the visual aids department receives an urgent call for a film. (24) I Ail iji;l na Ut. Di] k Fn is Fn it 1
