LOTTIE MOYER, R.N. A face with gladness overspread! Soft smiles by human kindness bred! —W ORDSWORTH Stepping into the health room we are cheerily greeted by a trim blue-clad figure. May I help you? This is a question typical of Miss Moyer, our school nurse. To help others live healthily and happily is her worthy aim. Through her valuable experiences in practical nursing, she is amply qualified to teach the girls new and interesting facts about home nursing. Among Miss Moyer’s many interests we find she has a love for gardening, cooking, and making her home attractive. Subjects: Home Nursing, Official School Nurse. Graduate of: Lankenau Hospital, Penn State College. Graduate umk at: Muhlenberg College. MAHLON MILLER, M.D. In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than giving health to men. —Cicero 5—9; 145; tonsils removed; bad molar; vision 20—20; a gruff next! and for years this 3 minute consultation must do. In spite of the fact that we contact him only 3 minutes of the 290 days we are in school, we get to know Doc’s” real self fairly well. His impersonal yet tender handling of us, his abrupt yet sure manner, his quick yet accurate once over, his gruff voice saying 5—9; 145; tonsils removed;’’ etc., will ever remain with us to remind us of him who safeguarded our greatest possession, health.

HARRY NEWHARD Who through long days of labor, and nights devoid of ease, Still heard in his soul the music of wonderful melodies. —Longfellow Come, let’s step into the auditorium. We are taken by storm as the joyous, enlivening music meets our ears. It fills the audit orium beating a gay tempo above us, around us, beneath us. And pray, who can be the cause of all this harmony, this exhileration, those gladdening notes? Yes. that little dignified figure down there in the orchestra pit is that of Mr. Newhard, commanding the instruments to send forth those sweet sounds. To speak to this man is to become aware of the sincerity behind those kindly eyes and the mischievous quirk about his mouth. We greatly value the directing this man gives to the orchestra and the band. Best wishes as he continues his work with us. Subject: Director of band and orchestra. Graduate of: American Business College. VERNA A under heart, a will inflexible. —Longfellow Perhaps if you had been to Atlantic City this summer, you would have bumped into a slender “nut-brown maid” capering on the sunny sands. At first glance you might not have known her, but after penetrating through three or four coats of golden tan, you would have recognized Verna. When Verna comes back from the shore, she is as brown as a hickory nut just raring to go. On Miss Dotter’s slender shoulders rests the responsibility of coaching the Girls, what a grand coach she makes! Verna seems so much like one of us that an outsider would hardly take her for a teacher. And what are her interests? Only these: knitting, swimming, coaxing tunes out of the piano, and tripping the light fantastic”. Subjects: Health, Supervisor of Athletics. Graduate of: West Chester State Teachers College, Penn State. WILLIAM BENNETT, PH.B. The hand that follows intellect can achieve — Michelangelo What can be more beautiful than nature?

Aside from teaching the subject of nature in school, Mr. Bennett proves his love and respect for natural life by raising bees and pigeons on the grounds of his lovely stone home. Mr. Bennett is a student of natural studies both in the practical and scientific value of his subjects. His other interests are social studies, business, and a delightful family which add greatly to his intellect and social nature. Subjects: General Mathematics and Biology.
