In all our endeavors this year we have found Miss Boyd very capable and eager to help. She not only taught home economics and general science but was also Assistant Junior Class Sponsor. MISS BARBER As our drama coach And English teacher, Miss Barber thought Grammar an important feature. So much to our dismay Now at first this procedure She kept a chart day by day Caused quite a big noise.

Miss Barber found time from her regular classes of English and Latin to be Thespian and Library club sponsor, co-sponsor of the Narghi News, and Assistant Freshman class sponsor. She also directed our Junior and Senior class plays. Her wit and friendliness won her many friends both at school and “in town. MR. FEHR MR.

MISS BROOKHART If you had the prviilege of being in her classes (Though if not you undoubtedly would know) The feeling of sincerity she passes And her warm and friendly glow. Her teaching of the Commerce Department Was surely no little task, But with her patience and encouragement For any more it would be hard to ask. Miss Brookhart displayed her abilities as a fine and fair teacher early in the year. In addition to teaching typing I and II. shorthand I and II. and bookkeeping, she was Co-sponsor of the Onarquois, Sponsor of the Freshman class, and Co-sponsor of the Narghi News. When Mrs. Cox left, she helped our soloists ar.d ensembles through the district contest and did a remarkable job. Always ready to listen and commend, she proved to be a real friend. MR. SEANEY Mr. Seaney is a worker That no one can contest As Junior class sponsor He’s really at his best. As manager of the carnival He shines in all his glory He claims he can ‘’Sell Rowboats on the Desert” But of course that is just his story. All kidding aside now I think it’s safe to say There’s not a one but what thinks That Mr. Seaney’s O. K.! Mr. Seaney. our Assistant Principal, teaches algebra, geometry, advanced mathematics, chemistry and biology. In addition to this very full schedule, he finds time to be Junior Class Sponsor and Carnival Manager. He is always willing to do his share and go half way with everyone. MISS WHITE She works with us all In one way or another Teaching us among other things To get along with each other. Miss White as a teacher Is right up there on top History and Spanish are her classes But there she does not stop. Miss White, besides teaching history and Spanish, was speech and one-act play coach. She was co-sponsor of the Onarquois and Assistant Senior Class Sponsor. When Mrs. Cox left, she took over the job of G. A. A. counselor. Miss White is very enthusiastic about her work and does a fine job of everything she undertakes. MRS. WILSON As a substitute music teacher She came to us this spring To direct our soloists and choruses Through programs, contests and things. There is an old saying Mrs. Wilson seemed to heed That “A frier.d in need Is a friend indeed.” Mrs. Wilson came as a music teacher, after the resignation of Mrs. Cox. Her enthusiasm inspired our music groups to try very hard and consequently we walked off with second place in the V. V. Music contest. Every student wishes to extend their thanks for her stepping in and doing a splendid job.
