Two new teachers, Miss Mc Evoy and Mrs. Stewart fMiss Parinj, work- ed together with veterans Mrs. Clemo, Mrs. Spencer, and Mr. Mognis, to present one of the most interesting years ever experienced by O.U.H.S. English classes. The sale of defense stamps highlighted the activities of the English De- partment for the 1941-1942 year. Clubs were also formed in all Mrs. Clemo's very active classes. Some classes wrote clever and interesting limericks and read several famous books. Among the most interesting composition assignments were If I Had Only Three Hours To Live and My Most Unforgetable Char- acter. Public Speaking was an added feature in many classes. Propaganda was another timely subject studied. fl, I , 2 14 484 f o o . t .

In their offices flanking the school entrance, they keep the detailed records so vital to the operation of a school this size. Miss Martin, whose official title is Clerk of the Board, is charged with keeping for the district the financial records of the school. In her many years of service, however, she has acquired dozens of other responsibilities which she aquits with the same calm efficiency.
