June. 1931 THE KERNEL The Senior Class takes this opportunity to express the appreciation of the School for the work they have done. Josephine M. Armstrong: .... 43 years Blanche P. Walton .......... 16 years Helen M. Garrett .............3 years Sarah P. Orossan............. 2 years Words seem futile things To express the thoughts that spring Into our hearts for you. Great teachers have lived and died, And we have read and tried To learn of them; But you. seeking our needs, Have helped us by your deeds, Our Teachers. We cannot thank you With words, ’tis true, But you must know That when we part, The thoughts you planted in our hearts Will grow; Much of the good that we may do Will he because of you. Our Teachers. 6

THE KERNEL June, 1931 Faculty Flashes I am the School Spirit. Everyone talks of me, and some claim to own me. 1 know all that goes on and here J have some real news of the faculty. In Miss Crossan’s French Class it is considered most embarrassing to listen carefully to Mile, and suddenly realize that it is not the weather, but you that she is calling had and dull. Some of the pupils have been in this situation but only because they have not applied themselves and not because of lack of good teaching. We have not noticed lately any of Miss Pugh’s students out chasing but- tertiys and daisies, but we have seen Mr. Grim’s history pupils searching in the library very diligently—supposedly for topics for class discussions (prob- ably for lost notes). The English Classes have been .con- ducted by Mrs. Wilde and Miss .Jones. The latter has been teaching at 0. II. S. just for the past year, and we hope to see her back next year. We hope soon to see Mrs. Wilde standing before a new Senior Class gently reproving the new group, as she has done in the past year. Mr. Thompson has been quite busy, not only because of his mathematics classes, but also because of the coach- ing on most illustrious soccer team and our “baseball team.” We have often visited Mr. Lieb’s classes, and his earnest work has been a very great help to the students in fighting out the why and wherefore of a something or other. If you have noticed a good deal of noise lately it is probably Mr. McMul- len pounding P. (). I), into the heads of the Seniors, who have come through remarkably well. Miss Allen, in her first year with us, has won for herself a place in the hearts of all who know her. She is a fine teacher too, and does she know her shorthand ? Mr. Hurt and his students have tak- en active parts in this year’s activities. Mr. Hurt has accomplished much and said little about it, which is, of course, the outstanding characteristic of most of us. Did you hear the singing at West Chester? 0. II. S. was well represented and helped much—due to the efforts of Miss Garrett. She has taken a faithful part also in assembly programs. Miss Scothorne has been instilling artistic taste into the Junior High School, and by the looks of the draw- ings posted, she has made much pro- gress. If you want something good, just go across the campus to the Home Eco- nomic Department and ask Miss Scola for a cookie. This lady has been here only a year, but that is long enough to teach how to make cookies that are cookies and not anchors. When you want to know what “sticks” is in a hockey game, just ask Miss Terrells. Miss Terrells has taken Mrs. Brown’s place and has proved herself a brilliant strategist when it comes to various plays in hockey or basketball. Miss Armstrong and Miss Kennard have been very faithful in their work in Junior High School. Miss Arm- strong excels in teaching mathematics, and Miss Kennard in teaching Junior Business Training. Miss Armstrong is leaving this year after teaching several years at (). II. S. Now. dear reader, having given you a flash of our noble faculty, I will go my way. Perhaps, however, 1 may see you again at next year’s school activ- ities. E. M. K., ’32
