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

Director of the Health Center, Miss Lydia Pott- hoff {Center Left), examines health rec- ords in her office. Coaches Wall Ruth, Don Pace, W. R.

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)

ARTS AND STUDIES — Mrs. Gwendolyn Beaver and Miss N rmc Sayre (Upper Left) compcire niles on th;- Home Economics denartment. Representing languages taught at North High (Upper Right) are Miss Mary Gomez, Mrs. Faith Frikart, Miss Anna Schlichler, Miss Eva S. Edv ards, Miss Isabelle Hov att, Miss Martha While, and Miss Vera Boy- ington. The Art Department (Center) makes plans for tiie coming term: Mr. Allen Dutton, Miss Mary Williams, Mrs. Florence Porter, Miss Frances Kapanke. Lower: Social Studies teachers Mr. Holland Melvin, Miss Winona Montgomery, Mr. Edward Herzberg, Miss Ellen Nitzkcwski, Miss Ruth Adams, Mrs. Ruth Muth, Mr. Joseph McKinney, Miss Ethleen Kemp, and Mr. F. V. Brown. For Better Living What ' s that? It smells like mother has been in the kitchen. But what would that won- derful odor of fresh baked biscuits be doing here in the Science Building? Well, we know the answer to that one. It is Mrs. Beaver and her Home Ec. class whipping up some more of those light (well, usually) fluffy biscuits. And right across the hall the busy snip of scissors from the sewing room tells the story of anticipated dresses and blouses. Three languages are offered in North High ' s curriculum. If you want to speak Spanish, French, or Latin like a native, amble on toward that language department so it won ' t all be Greek to you. Busy as beavers the art teachers are discussing some new project for their department. From the pleased looks all around it must be a very good idea. How about that? Hey! Put down that glass of water. History isn ' t that dry. Contrary to popular belief it isn ' t only interesting but of vital importance to all Americans. Why, if you don ' t know your rights as a citizen of the U. S. you may as well be in a country where such things as freedom of speech, press, and assembly don ' t exist. Come on and help yourself to some history. Honest it will pay big dividends. Sure would be nice to be able to show Johnny Jones or Suzy Smith how well informed you are on current affairs — History, that is. (25) .
