June, 1928 THE KERNEL Faculty Snapshots After the faculty went to all that trouble to pose for that imposing photograph on the next page it would only seem fair to acquaint you with each one in person. It seems Mr. McMullen just can’t lose his reputation as the favorite teacher of the Senior Class. Probably his interesting English classes might be a reason for this. Just ask any Senior what is the favorite of the classes and the answer is sure to be “English IV.” “Oh, that Chemistry!” The battle cry of the Juniors, Seniors, etc. Chem- istry is Mr. Leib’s hobby, and would it be safe to say the hobby of the Sen- iors and Juniors? It probably will be before he’s through with them. That’s all right, Mr. Leib! We know there’s not a better Science teacher anywhere and we’re all back of you. Mr. Miller and Math—always spok- en of in the same breath. We can scarcely realize the math department next year without Mr. Miller. How- ever, we’re somewhat consoled with the fact that if lie ever conies back to us he’ll know still a little more math (if such a thing is possible). Mr. Thompson just came to us this year and we’re beginning to see what we’ve missed. As boy’s athletic in- structor he has proved mast success- ful. The Seniors give Mr. Thompson all the credit for an extremely inter- esting P. 0. D. course. Have you noticed the great improve- ment in the school library? Mr. Cooke has been back of that and surely has helped us. He always takes great in- terest in school affairs and has produc- ed a reliable debating team. Here’s to success in your new calling, Mr. Cooke. Miss Koch is very fond of English classes, especially the Freshmen. But after English, we believe Miss Koch likes coaching Senior plays best. An- other of Miss Koch’s strong points is keeping order in study hall. She al- ways looks forward to the days when Mr. McMullen leaves the Seniors au English lesson to be done in the main room. And who doesn’t like Miss McCrea, the best all-around, good sport of the faculty? Wherever there’s a good time going on you’ll be sure to find her. Miss McCrea’s specialty is French. She doesn’t seem to be able to get enough of French. Perhaps it’s because it’s one of the romance lan- guages. Mrs. Brown handles the girl’s ath- letic life most efficiently. There isn’t anything in the way of sports and ath- letics she doesn’t know and wouldn’t pass on to her students. The success of the girl’s team proves Mrs. Brown’s ability as a coach. Miss Brabson stands at the helm of the commercial department, and is the general favorite of all students. We hope that when she changes her name from “Miss to Mrs.” it won’t mean that we must seek another business teacher. Mr. Kuhn and Miss Landis are in charge of our artistic life. Miss Lan- dis is there in everything that’s mus- ical. including chapel period. Mr. Kuhn has been expressing his artistic temperament by promoting the pro- ject for shrubbery on the school lawn. MARY OSWALD '28 We, the Editors of the Kernel, take this opportunity of extending our sin- cere thanks to all the members of the Staff who have co-operated with us so willingly, after the destruction of the original Kernel material. It has been only through their efforts that the publication of the Annual has been possible this year. MARTHA RUSSEL GLADYS BOYD FRANK GRUBB 6

Jler sunny hair is wondrous fair And wavy in its How, Her eyes are blue, her heart is true, She’s a girl you’d love to know. There are two things we are pretty sure of. First, that Philadelphia lost a lot of its charm when Kitty left, and sec- ondly, that Oxford has been a whole lot nicer since she came. She has won her way into all our hearts with her sweet voice and her gay. happy ways. When- ever there’s any fun going on, you can be sure that Kitty Babb is there. And don't say that big blue eyes, and yellow curls can't talk!

If you know her. you know what we mean; if you don't, you're just out of luck! It seems as though everything that’s likable and lovable had been put together in Gay. If you want a tiling well done, don’t do it yourself—just ask Gay.” We can’t imagine our class without a Gladys, and it will be a long, long time before any of us forget her and all that she has done for us. 8
