9752 'Producers Mr. Joseph Sturm and his fifth grade developed a science and first aid club. The sixth grades boasted an arts and crafts, and a drama club, sponsored by Miss Jeanette Putnam and Miss Emily Sharp. The J unior High School's entr'acte buzzed with the flurry of a record enrollment. Q Two of its sponsors are withdrawing this year. To Mrs. Thornton, we say, we wish she were going to stay, and to Miss Helen Gillis, good speed with the masterfs work for which she is taking leave of absence. Meanwhile, Mr. Carl Swift's frequent trips have featured the science program which he sponsors in the junior high school. Miss Edith Duer staged the final performance of the eighth grade graduating class. I n the High School, activity sometimes assumed circus proportions. Miss Mary Anderson revolutionized the library, besides teaching Latin and English. lNIiss Jeanne Cerrito continued to be the commercial department, and sponsored the Sophomore Class. Miss Dorothy Dillon, English, coached debate and assisted with the operetta production. Miss E. Claire Groben, History, co-advised the Senior Class, introduced a new journalism class, and presided over the Guidance Committee of Eleven. lVIr. Elmer Handel acted as Freshman Class advisor, and presented a live-wire Camera Club, also coached tennis. Mr. Gerald Hasenauer, French and English, spent his first year in Orchard Park. Mr. Ralph A. Jones, science, was the versatile promoter of the Senior play, and of placement of boys with local employers, besides the detention hall! Mr. Harold F. Keyes again underwrote a large agriculture program, featuring the Future Farmers of America. Coach C. Getty Page introduced ice-skating, track, and tennis to round out the sports program, and cultivated a more active Outing Club. Misses Jane Searles, English and social studies, and Helen Treichler, mathematics, were the co-sponsors of the Junior play. Miss Searles carried, besides, her Girl Scout troop, while Miss Treichler's Junior Class launched its Prom later in the year. Mr. George Wakeman's busy season came in the spring, with baseball to add to shop work. The staff of general promoters really produced a sort of roadshow, a continuous series of performances in grades and high school simultaneously. In this group came Miss Beulah Shaw, school nurse, Miss Mabel Sager, source of artistic inspirations, Miss Gertrude Reid, home-making and cafeteria manager. Miss Lillian Stevens and Mr. Parl Brooks put on perpetual band, chorus, orchestra and operetta performances. And Miss Edna Booth, as school secretary, juggled the details of the whole troupe. Last but not least, the giant producer of the whole show, the arch-promoter, Pos- sessor of all the Answers, was Principal Laurence C. Johnson. 7
