The condition of the fern kept in room 208 seems to worry Mrs. Mildred Richards, Miss Marilyn Dow, Mrs. Mabel Jacoby, and Miss Audria Shumard. A typical wry comment by Miss Shumard may have caused the amusement. Mrs. Richards teaches book- keeping and typing; Miss Dow, ninth grade typing; Mrs. Jacoby, typing and shorthand; and Miss Shumard, typing, stenographic training, and clerical training. World history is the major field of Miss Elizabeth Shaver and Art Bauer. Miss Shaver also teaches modern problems of democracy. Mr. Bauer has a ninth grade civics class, but is best known for being the varsity football coach. The home economics teachers, Miss Marilyn Shope, Mrs. Anita Bitner, and Mrs. Lucena Hendrix enjoy using the modern equipment found in their classrooms. Miss Shope teaches junior high home economics. Mrs. Bitner turns out good seamstresses and teaches eighth grade arithmetic. Mrs. Hendrix, who resigned in December after adopting a baby girl, taught foods and senior homemaking classes. They Guide Learning Films they are going to show to their ninth grade social studies classes are previewed by Mrs. Pauline Ashton, Miss Jo Ann Hage- meister, and Henry Willemsen.
