Edv ards, Miss Isabelle Hov att, Miss Martha While, and Miss Vera Boy- ington.

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) .

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

MATHEMATICS — Here ' s a group of teachers who always know what the score is. Standing: Mr. Thomas Inman, Mr. Henry Schmidt, Mr. Arthur Hawk, Mr. Herbert Drinkwater, Mr. Fred J. McDonald, Mr. T. H. Utlaut, Mr. Harold R. Williams. Seated: Mr Walter J. Wooden and Mr. Henry Anderson. Emphasis On Efficiency Are all teachers human? Grand question. But our subject here is math teachers. As we said, good question. Seriously though, there ' s one thing certain, you either learn or flunk math. Oh— rather obvious, isn ' t it? What we ' re trying to say is we ' re truly grateful to you math teachers for passing us on even a 4 — with a circle around it. If you didn ' t see fit to pass us, then — oh — phooey. The English language, according to foreigners, is quite difficult to master, of that we have no doubts. According to some silly rule or other we hove to learn how t ' tear a sen- tence to pieces and then .tell why — so we might as well face it. It ' s gotta be done, so about all we can do is cooperate with our teachers. Nauseating thought! But it might help! Shop is an amazing contraption. It ' s exclusive to men at this writing — and if they never learn anything but how to fix window shades and screw door-knobs on, it ' ll come in handy in later life! Think of how happy the shop teachers ' wives must be — no rattling shutters or banging doors! It ' s a thought at that! ENGLISH TEACHERS — Seated: Miss Zula Stevens, Miss Sylvia Poling, Mrs. Fleda C. Kinneman. and Miss Miriam Gathings. Standing: Mr. John C. Raymond and Mr. Robert Frank. INDUSTRIAL ARTS — Mr. Vernon Hathcock, Mr. Fred Schade, Mr. Bert Belluzzi, Mr. Lawrence Chard. (26)
