18 INSTRUCTORS on the BETTY LOU HUNTER, A.B. Many people have the mistaken idea that Miss Hunter’s most important function at P.H.S. is dinning English into the sophomores, but we think it is leading school songs at pep meetings and acting as editorial conscience for the ARENA staff. She likes fresh flowers, books, traveling, the theater, walking, and dotes on sauerkraut. ADDIE HOCHSTRASSER, A.B., A.M. Mentor of the senior English classes, Miss Hochstrasser stresses exactness and punctuality, for .«he realizes how important such traits arc. Her favorite pastime is golf, and her favorite person—her soldier brother. In fact, she has a warm welcome for all service men—even erst- while problem children. MAUDE E. DORSETT, A.B. Although Miss Dorsctt is small in stature and must look up to many of her freshmen Eng- lish students, they all agree to the old saying that one can be both small and mighty! The theatre has always been fascinating to her; she also likes to collect antiques and satisfies her femi- nine curiosity taking the Gallup Poll. BR1GITTA KUHN, B.Ed. This is Miss Kuhn’s first year as a teacher, so she still remembers how it feels to be a student at P.H.S. Pet peeve—anklets with high heels. Likes swimming, travel, basketball, badminton, the Book of the Month Club, and collects phonograph records and stamps. During the second semester she has sponsored our fledgling journalists. LARUE DAYTON, A.B. CATHERINE FARRELL, B.A., M.A. Teaching junior English is her vocation. Her leisure time interests arc many—books, gardening, music, mountain climbing, swimming and the rheatre. At present, her love of travel must remain unsatisfied, but later she hopes to spend another summer in the Rockies and make her first trip to Hawaii. Miss Hunixr EnjKlhb lli Miss Dorsett English I Mild-mannered custodian of the first hour assembly. Miss Farrell has long been a jack of all trades”—teaching a variety of subjects. She considers galoshes and a fur coat winter necessi- ties—spends her summers at home in Green Lake, just loafing.” Did you know that acy was in her class at Ripon College.
