KLEPPINGER Mr. Kleppingcr's midnite hours are not all spent with his new baby daughter; lie also devotes much of this time to his water color paintings and ceramic jewehy. The latter pastime, as well as loom weaving, recently introduced, is a promising supplement to art classes. For our miscellaneous school signs and decorative stage settings, we are indebted to Mr. Kleppinger. Needless to say, the Army's loss was our gain.

Miss Kocher s beaming smile and efferverscent personality uplift many downcast souls. Sponsor of the I hespian Club, supervisor of the Junior Oratorical Contest, and literary advisor of Amptennian headline her many curricular responsibilities. Few people know ol Miss Kocher's talents as an artist and banjo strummer. And, by the way, she’s a gem of an English teacher. LEON KUNTZ Mr. K untz is our ’Music Man.
